It is to early to talk to Sky about a discount as the best time is 31 days before the price increase kicks in, there is also a price rise coming on 1st April across all packages which should be shown on your bills.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreYou need to contact Sky much nearer the date your discounts end in order to negotiate new discounts or arrange to cancel any aspects of your current deal you no longer want. The latest T's and C's specifically state you can't cancel unless Sky agree so what you've been told suggests that is Skys stance at the moment.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreEmails or letters will be sent to all customers in the coming weeks outlining their individual price rises. No one here will know what you'll be paying as we won't know what discounts you've negotiated.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Annoyed70 you will get at least 30days notice of the increase during which period you can shop around for a better deal and switch without penalty. Given the increaee is in April notifications probably wont start being sent out for a couple of weeks.
I found this page which sets out the position https://www.uswitch.com/broadband/guides/mid-contract-price-rises/

Hi I have done this every 18 months for years and years just say u are gonna end your contract and leave and if your contracts ended just go to cancel stage and sometimes now and then u have to go all the way through to cancelling but I assure u thay will get back to u with a new offer and don't except it say unless u can keep everything u had for half the price u are leaveing and I assure u thay will give u a new contract in the end than loose u even if u do get to cancel stage don't worry thay will b in touch with u before the cut off date trust me and that's how u get it half price

I've just noticed that my Sky bill in April for Superfast Broadband and Phone will go up from £35.75 per month to £43.00. This is an increase of 20% for a contract that I will only be 6 months into. All of my existing discounts remain in place (otherwise it would be a staggering £59.50/month...!).
How can this be justified? I am I entitiled to leave my contract? I dont think I have been formally notified of this change yet, unless I've missed it, I just happened to notice it in passing.
I also have Sky Q and have been a continual Sky customer for almot 20 years.
