That's what you're demonstrating!

While price rises are rarely welcome, you agreed to them when you signed up, so......

Hi @Stobbsyj   You may have a case of walking now, as long as you have calculated your increase on list price and not the discounted price. Here is an extract from the TV terms and conditions.

11.7.

During the minimum term, unless it is for a reason set out in condition 11.8 below (where the following

increase limits do not apply), we may increase the then standard price of each TV subscription service

only once in any 12 month period and the increase will not be more than 10% or the increase in the UK

Retail Price Index over the 12 months before we tell you about that price increase, whichever is greater. In

addition, any price increase for a TV subscription service will be delayed so as not to apply during the first

60 days of your minimum term in which case the 12 month period referred to will start on the date your

price would have increased but for the delay. The limits on the timing, frequency and amount of any price

increase in this condition are referred to as “price protection”.

At least the new rules will force them to tell you your rise in £ and p.  

[Stobbsyj]

You would need a crystal ball to agree to that do you work for Sky

Nope, Sky aren't doing that.  (OfCom allows for an alternative)

Alas that could be true, but unfortunately you agreed to the terms regardless.

• Time to cancel then as 30 years loyalty obviously means [removed] to them

Ofcom are as useless/pointless as ofgem

The list price of Signature is £36.50, so a 10% increase would be £3.65. But is gone up by £4. So is this not a breach of these terms?

There are two legs to the increase clause.  But it appears it could have met the criteria.

The greed of Sky will hit them once contracts are due for renewal, I have a long contract but I will cancel everything with them as soon as I am able without penalty.

Although it's worth noting the price rises are in the same range as their competitors in the various industries Sky operates in.

I will do without the pay TV and just have broadband but it won't be from Sky

@Stobbsyj 

The email outlining the increases to your particular package states you can leave a broadband/Talk deal without incurring early termination fees within 30 days of receiving it. The same does not apply to a TV subscription. The latest T’s and C’s explicitly state you can’t cancel when still in a minimum term deal unless Sky agree. If they agree you’ll have to pay the remainder of your discounted term (in one payment).
