social Tarriff

suem53 — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 10:02:49 GMT

I'm supposed to be on the social tarriff as i am 73 and receive pension credit , i was told it would be £20 pm but it keeps going up ! It's now £34 pm , i thought the idea of the social tarriff was to keep it to a set price that people struggling could afford , trying to get through to them is a nightmare , no one listens, you get passed from pillar to post and then you have to repeat the info to multiple people . I struggle on the phone and would prefer to just email them , but i get nowhere ! it's very frustrating, i have been with them for over 20 years too , so no customer care for long time users of their service.

@suem53
The broadband part of the social tariff lasts for 24 months and then reverts to the full cost but if you’re still eligible you will then need to re-apply.

My social tariff has just gone up again from £21 to £34 pm sky should make it easier for people on this tariff to update , like a quick email to a social tariff email box , so they can check the details of social tariff users . But they never make things easy , yet moan they are busy all the time, and phone lines are jammed. They don't help themselves. Just asking a simple question is impossible , all you get is a robot talking **bleep** and being totally useless .
