Cancelled Sky TV in April and have ignored any all or email since. Decided the Fire stick was too much messing around so called to get a quote.

Ended up with Sky Q Essentials (No Netflix) with UHD for £7 a month for 2 years with first 2 months free.  Sky Stream was significantly more expensive.

Have Virgin 1GB for £30 a month so don't use Sky for that 

Very happy with the outcome 

Sky told me that with Sky q essentials, there cannot be any add ons such as HD, UHD, cinema etc… only with a signature package it is possible.

Had you already sent back your equipment?  I'd be tempted with that deal

I have been offered an "increase free" price by Sky - It is quite expensive (£83.60) for signature + multiscreen + hd + sports !

no mention of an annual price increase

It'll be in the small print, I've no idea what an "increase free" price is mind. Is that their wording or yours?

I’m totally struggling with Sky atm. Currently paying £131 per month but my offers end on 26 Aug so it’s going up to a dizzying £162 pm. I’m in contract to Feb 27. They will not renegotiate the offers unless I take Sky Glass which I really don’t want. I’ve been a customer for over 15years. I take it there’s nowt I can do but suck it up? Any advice appreciated!

Only thing you can do is if your are not in a fixed term/contract for certain things like movies, sport or the like is to is to cancel them.

You have another 6 months of high price's or so what I suggest.

Why has your discount ended when you have still got 6 to go?

Also can you post what you are pat for on here because £162 is a hell of a lot per month.

According to the poster he is in contract til Feb '27 ie 18 months left ? Something isn't right as that would mean he only recontracted in Feb this year ??

I was taking it as 26/08/2025 and then another 6 months.

Is Feb 27 actually 27/02/2026?

Sky only recently start doing 24 months contract instead of 18 so the  OP has dates wrong or they only got 6 months of offers/ discounts.

Have to wait till they come back.
