  • in this age there is no need for paper bills, I know some people like them. But I think I would like to see company's like sky charge £5 for paper bills.

    Really put people off getting them....

    Some places need paper ID like a bank statement but no one ever asks for a sky bill as proof,

    Unless its the phone side of things some places ask for a phone bill I Guess........im talking my self in to hole.... im going to shut up now
  • OP - The £1 that you find so hard to pay is merely the equivalent of 20x5p Compulsary carrier bag charges in Wales.

    In this day and age everyone is being told to go green and usually this is at the cost of the consumer by the way of using additional charges as a deterent.

    you think sky is expensive, have a look at virgin its way higher
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    In the name of moneysaving - what programmes is it that you watch that are Sky only, and can you buy the box sets instead for cheaper?

    so u dont think that £60+ pound a month for sky HD full package is a con?

    Personally, I don't.

    Sky are offering a service that I don't need but I want. They're setting a charge for that service and it is up to me whether I pay for it. As it happens, I find the price acceptable given the service but if I did not find it acceptable then I wouldn't pay it.

    The HD package fee is another thing that some people won't deem necessary and therefore won't pay for, such as yourself. I took up HD last year and to be honest I'm very happy with it.
