Has Sky gone bad?

No, sky+ was add to the phone bill this month after 5 months after cancelling sky+ and their entertainment plus package, and going down the just phone and broadband.

Are you sure the change isn't the December price rise? As if you had free weekend calls you would be moved onto their new £4 package.

Sky have had an offer where you got free broadband and also keep your sky+ features for just the cost of the line rental. I checked a friends bill who took it in the summer and it shows as being billed £10 for the sky+ but also shows £10 discount on the line rental and broadband free. They changed to the pay and talk option before the price rise so only paying the equivalent cost of line rental.

I don't think the calls charge will have kicked in yet, as the changeover date was December 1st, but you get the first month at whatever old price you paid.


I've gone from Anytime to Anytime Extra and have had free mobile calls since that date, but only pay the old £5 fee until the mid January bill, when it's £8.

A thought: Was the Sky+ added and then the price egated ?


The reason I ask is that after cancelling my tv and not taking up the email offer of half price plus a credit, I was offered free broadband and Sky + if I kept line rental ?

Could have been. But not having Sky TV a bit pointless

If you check your bill you will see the Sky+ is billed at £10 and that is offset through a discount on the line rental. It works out the same but looking at the bill is shows you are billed for Sky+

If this is the case, it proves my point Sky has gone bad - I no longer watch / record live TV.

What is bad about being given something free with no strings ?
