I am confused. Email says
Save £17 every month from the out-of-contract price of £76.50. With a new 24-month contract. Prices may change.
So I would pay £76.50 - £17 = £59.50. Would I not?
And there’s more. Your discount is available for you online right now. So forget the phone, forget the haggling. Save time and money by renewing online today.
But this appears to be a price hike to £88 a month.
What should I do?
Looking beyond the email, the following appears:

I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

Key question - what packages have you currently got ? Look at "view my bills" in your Sky account which should show actual payments and discounts.2

I'd guess that the £76.50 is for the 24 month minimum term items, the rest of the £105 figure would be for the monthly rolling add-ons that can be removed with 1 months notice.1
