Huge price increase

[Floydy54]

Why does sky keep increasingly cost off its sky tv by so much. My husband relies on watching tv since his strokes but the cost of everything is so expensive now that we have got to reconsider getting rid of sky

Apart from the inevitable annual price increase each April, the only other reason for a bill increase is that your discounts have ended.

Perhaps compare the latest bill with previous ones to see where it differs.

If your discounted minimum term has ended or its ending soon the best new discounts are still normally acquired by contacting Sky and negotiating or potentially amending your package which will require a new 24 month minimum term contract.

’Significant’ discounts seem harder to come by these days so if you’re offered something acceptable be prepared to agree to it there and then because if you decide to think about it the offer is unlikely to be available when you call back. Also remember you’re not a new Sky customer so don’t expect anything on a par to a new customer deal.

If you decide it’s no longer value for money and you’re thinking of changing providers remember that at the end of their minimum term you'll be in the same position with that company at which point you'll be able to return to Sky and benefit from the new customer discounts available at that particular time.

Presumably because Comcast Corporation stockholders would rather prefer their Sky Group division to actually make a profit.

I left Sky (Stream) because of price to join Sky's Now TV. 

I always suggest doing an audit of which channels you actually watch eg if only free to air,, do you really need a Sky subscription? There are other and cheaper ways to watch TV.
