in Phones & TV
My 18 month contract with sky for my TV, phone and broadband is ending at the end of March 2022
I pay £64 a month at the moment and this is increasing to just under £90
I am on UC and single parent so this increase I won't be able to afford
I was able to afford £64 still when UC claiments lost the £80 as I do budget my money, however I won't be able to pay another £25 a month increase
I want to see if Sky can give me a deal but this was my first contarct so not been in this position before.
How do I try and get a deal with them? Hints and tips please
Thanks

Consider splitting them up. Broadband and phone you can get from anywhere on new deals and Sky isn't the only TV provider in town. You need to look at what parts of Sky you use - if your viewing is primarily channels available on Freeview its a waste of time paying for Sky.As to how to get a deal - search the market, see who's doing what, phone Sky up and say you want out. Bounce some deals of them.0

Look elsewhere if on UC, for example - BT Home Essentials Broadband | Low Cost Broadband | Broadband on benefits0
