@Clive48
Prices can increase for a number of reasons…
changing your subscription,
the annual price increase (which is April in the UK),
your discounts have ended,
or a combination of those.
Sky will have told you the date any discount was ending when you took it out so if it has ended you’ll be paying the full undiscounted price.
If that’s the case perhaps compare a previous bill to your latest bill and see where the amounts differ
www.sky.com/bill.
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 are 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 customer so don’t expect anything close to a new customer deal.
If you decide it’s no longer value for money and you’re thinking of changing providers remember that in 18/24 months time 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.

Have a look back on your previous bills as you should be able to see what has increased and for why:
