    You should have received a letter about it, they sent them out over a month ago.

    No. You are free to leave the service now since UPC have changed the terms of the contract.

    Sky don't offer broadband anyway, so they're not going to believe you.

    Yep I think you are correct in saying they may not be bothered by threats about switching to Sky especially in my case as I have have all their services along with 3 additional " multiroom " points. Sky simply cannot compete nor even come close to UPC's pricing. So it looks like my best option is to drop my movies and sports packages.

    They're increasing the price?
    They upgraded me to 150mbit for free.
    They said they're changing their phone call rates though.

    Oh yes there is; http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056930319

    I got an email with an €8 increase per month, just a few days after agreeing a 12 month contract at a fixed rate. I'm waiting a response to my query about their breach of contract.
