@luto

I think you have misunderstood, this topic hasn't been closed. Sky sent you a private message about this issue but as you didn't respond to it within 48 hours it was this PM that was closed as per their post.

Yes - I was not able to respond within 48 hours.

I'd still like help though.

Hello Sky ? My mood is not improving on this having just received your letter that you are "investing in improvements" and increasing my broadband cost mid-contract. Are you reading Ofcom ? Banning inflation-linked price increases didn't really cover this approach did it ?
