We’ve been told about Aprils price increases, however if you are a subscriber you should check your future bills. Log into your account, click bills and payments, and then click future. Mine shows further increases coming into effect over the next 3 months to a total of 42.5% over my April bill. Trying to get an explanation from Sky got me nowhere, so personally I’ll be cancelling.

    End of discounts perhaps?

    Already done for parents.  No increase showing for them.

    A 42% increase is almost always you're at the end of your minimum term with discount/special offer and you go back to paying full price.  Your T&Cs say prices can increase by up to 10% once a year.

    Must remember you pay in advance for Sky so it looks odd on occasion due to the way the maths works if your deal ends mid month.

    The June increase would explain the broadband side of things (£2.00), but the £30.00/month increase in July, plus another £2.00 in August just leaves me baffled.

    Look at your most recent bill breakdown and then compare it with the July bill breakdown. It should give you the answers.
