End of contract increase

Options
I am approaching the end of my broadband contract with SKY. I was paying £25 per month (recently increased to £26). I have looked at the future bills and they plan to charge me £33 per month when the contract ends.
My problem is i will be moving house at some point later this year and do not want to enter into a new contract with anyone at my current property.
Is there any chance of SKY reducing the £33 per month without me entering a new contract term?

    Ask them.  They can only say no, and you can always say no, let it roll and cancel it accordingly.  The best deals come with new contracts unfortunately so you may just have to let it roll and bite the bullet.

    Depending on your package you are probably more likely to be able to transfer the Sky broadband to your new address than you would be if it was Virgin, but obviously that depends on where you move to.  If you know where you're going you can look it up.  If you don't, then, um, you can't. :)
