MSE News: Sky set to raise prices

welshcarre

Hi all,
After hours of trying to find out by how much sky Tv is going up and after ringing them so many times and being told different things each time :mad: finally tonight I was told the price increases are online so I just thought I better just add the link so anyone who like me wonts to know its available at sky.com/helpcentre/account-and billing/payments and billing/price change 2012 I do hope this helps everyone as I must admit I dont post threads very often. Steven:T Ps I did try to post the link but this forum wont allow me!!:cool:

So 6.25% increase for me with just Entertainment plus Sports Pack...what a bunch of */7^5rds!
Can't get any B/Band or phone offers on my exchange and no Virgin ....................... Really must ring to cancel............

I've just signed up to Sky unlimited broadband and talk Freetime for a 12 month period at £12.25 for 6 months and £22.25 from Month 7 (plus any call charges not included in the free time deal) - now they are saying that the cost will be an extra £2.50 from Month 7 due to a 'price rise'.

Can they do this? Surely I have a contract with them for an agreed price for a 12 month duration so as that was the contracted price agreed then they should stick to that - or am I being completely naive?

Otherwise the contract is meaningless as they could increase the price tenfold any time they like even though they have advertised a service for a set amount per month for a set period of time.

I'm sure if the boot was on the other foot and I said that I will leave them before the 12 months is up they'd be clamouring for a cancellation charge as I had fulfilled my side of the contract.

Of course they can do it.

This was always expected. Sky will claw their money back from the past year.

Had my letter this morning. Entertainment pack increase £1.50 Sky sports pack 1&2 £1.00.
I may cancel the movies as i do not watch very often. Anyone know how much this will reduce my bill?

Depends how much it costs you now? Look at your bill online.

Yes it's been on the cards for some time 'the increase in subscription charges, Last November told 'them' I was leaving,and they promptly offered me 12 months free line rental, which I accepted, now after checking out the advantages of Freesat I intend -offers or no offers, to cut my costs.. What I am not sure about , is the fact ,because ,I have broadband, Sky basic + entertainment , and phone package, just how long it will take to change the lot, to another provider,, Been with Sky for the past 4/5 years so I do not expect any problem in cancelling, although have to wonder what will be their reaction when I request a move to Sky FreeSat ,???
