My sister fairly recently, after wanting to end her Sky Q contract and go to a freesat 4k box, was persuaded to downgrade to Sky essentials for £5/m on a 12 month contract which we think would probably increase after that.

As we are all customers here nobody here can supply you with a price so you will need to call Sky to see if you can get through to them, which might be a struggle due to the ongoing global IT issue.

Is that Sky Television Essentials, or Essential Broadband, or a combination television & broadband product?

 

I've seen posts referring to anything from £15 to £5 a month for television (free-to-air channels with apps and recording on a Q box)

 

Realistically broadband cannot be below £20 a month for FTTC or the ISP makes a loss.

Re: Cost of sky essentials ?

I was just curious to see what other people are paying before I go to sky. Where's the harm in asking that ?

Just the tv. I'm sure she said £7 a month ago so was hoping I could get them down to £5

Hi

I had essential for a while at £5 a month for less than 12 mths  - now increased to £11:50 a month

 

That's not a reasonable increase.  Not even any notification of the increase.

I believe the list price for Sky Essentials is £15 per month. Anything less than that is discounted.

A provider can choose to set whatever price (or increase) it sees fit.

 

Not even any notification of the increase.

 

The requirement for notification of television subscription price increase is still the subject of a dispute between Sky and Ofcom.

Not a problem anymore.

 

I got sky to extend my discount for another 12 mths, so back to £5 / mth instead of £15 - jod done.
