Sky price hike

danois

Just a heads up to let people know Sky sent out emails prices are going up again. Might be an opportunity to get out of or renegotiate contracts.

Part of their T&C say they increase prices up to 10% PA. You won't be able to leave or break your contract early because of this.

Sorry i assumed the price hike would mean we could cancel the contract.

Best bargain alert would be to cancel sky altogether :pac:

Its miles behind the curve nowadays

Netfilx provides a much better service for a fraction of the cost

You dont need to "Sign" a contract you can agree to it verbally. And yes they do have it in their T&C about price increases.

You can request them to go through all the T&C if you wish but people just generally agree to it along with the call been recorded etc just to progress the call on.

For those wondering:

Will the price of my subscription(s) rise during the Minimum Term?

Under the Sky digital Subscription Contract we can increase the prices for the Stand-alone Premium Channels or
extra Sky Premium Channels at any time during the Minimum Term.

However, in all other cases we can only increase the relevant Subscription Payment once during the Minimum Term.
This increase won’t affect you during the first 60 days of your subscription to your chosen service(s) and will not
be more than either 10% of the standard price of your Option or the increase in the UK Retail Price Index over the last
12 months before we tell you about that price increase, whichever is greater.

Under the Sky digital Subscription Contract, if at any time you change your chosen Service, you will pay the then
current price for your new Service from the day you first receive it.
