£60 to cancel sky sports after in contract price rise

[DJP4]

I have just been told that Sky will change me £,60 to cancel my sky sports package even after that they have increased the price in contact. Is this right?

Early termination charges apply to TV subscriptions. Only broadband allows early termination penalty free after the annual price rise.

If you are in the minimum term of a contract then you can not usually cancel as you agreed to keep the package for a set period of time. As they have let you then they are within their rights to charge you an early termination fee. A price increase is allowed under the T&Cs you agreed to. The price you pay is not set during the contract but the discount, so 20% off etc is.

...the contract also allows a charge for removing a premium channel (regardless of whether in a minimum term or not)
