    I had my letter from Sky telling me they were putting up their prices. No mention of this! I tell you, it's now getting to the stage where I am going to have to make a list of all the services I subscribe to and then check every 3 months that they've not introduced a cheaper alternative. Every company seems to be playing the game of ripping off existing customers.
    Eh?? I give up!! Towel is getting thrown in here! :D

    Or, cancel and save whatever you were paying before. :)

    I haven't even had a letter about the price increase!

    They put it in with your Sky magazine now, you know - the bit with your address on that everyone throws on the fire/in the bin with all the other drivel...

    ...another nice move by Sky...

    I have changed mine to the £18 package using the 0800 number and had no problems. Got through to helpful person straight away. Only comment is that you are not allowed to go for cheaper package within one month.

    Saving of £30 a year on new prices.

    Great spot. Not really seen this advertised by Sky. What a surprise.


    Just phoned Sky to complain about this supposedly it was in the July sky magizine BUT i didn't see anything...

  • Just call them and threaten to cancel. Half price skysports package for the next 3 months. I know this is on another thread but always nice to highlight it!
