Sky sports price increase

  • Just a quick update.

    Following my post regarding the sky sports hd compulsory increase I decided to call as I am due out of contract so can give my notice.

    Funnily enough the call handler was able to put together a package without sky sports hd.

    I am on sky q with another mini box. We have full package at the moment Inc movies and sky sports. We pay £58 ( BB and phone with BT) which is due to increase to £89 shortly.

    He offered £48 if we remove movies (which I've never watched but it was included as a package last year) and kids which is not watched and he was able to put on sky sports as SD so it can be done no matter what the email said.

    I said I will ring back.

    Hope this helps somebody if they want to challenge the increase.

    Went thru Retentions on Friday; wasn't straightforward as initially they couldn't view my account because a high level complaint from last year was still open.

    Once that was sorted, I was very surprised to be made an offer only £1 more than my previous deal.
    Now paying £34 pm for everything bar Cinema, all in HD. That includes £18 pm discount on entire Sports Pack and HD Sports reduced to £2:T

    Had to agree to 18 month contract as she wouldn't offer the same prices for 12 months, but can't see an issue in my current circumstances.

    Can you break the package down Brewerdave please.
