I am being billed £43 for superfast broand, supposedly im a VIP customer (MUG) for over 11+ years.
The same broadband package as advertised ON SKY website as £28 pm.
When you call them on this its an assault of nonsense reasons trying to justify them charging you more for the same product they offer cheaper on their own website.
they have a few days to resolve this instead of fobbing me off with promises of call backs. ive had 2 different techs offer me cheaper price reductions, yet none have been actioned.
I suggest to everybody else they check their exact billing, and what their advertised pricing actually is. I also am not including/forgetting about landline costs, im specifically talking about my broadband pricing bill and package. its £28 for an 18 month contract, im getting billed £43 pm,
my entire bill comes in at £59 including landline charges and sky talk anytime. as extra.
the more loyal you are the less benefits you get, if I called them and pretended to be a new customer, ive been told id get billed at the £28 rate, its a grift.

Correct, I signed up for Virgin on Thursday afternoon and the outside team came and put in the termination box yesterday afternoon. It'll be live in a couple of weeks and I'll be better off by £198 over the 18 month contract with double the speed and weekend calls thrown in for good measure. I've picked up one of their streaming boxes for the £35 activation fee with no monthly subscription. If I like it then eventually the Q box will be gone too.
One of the Sky webchat agents told me I'm getting a premium service so should expect to pay a premium price which was probably the final straw for me.

Its true Sky just are complacent that we will stay. There customer service are there to frustrate not help. Then call back and give you what you want but it means nothing if they can just increase the price in April.

What a ridiculous answer. The cost to each individual is what they actually pay for Sky services. Between March and June 2024, the cost of my Sky package has increased by 26%. I am a customer of 25 years+ and the best they could offer me was a £5 per month discount to my new tarrif which is still an increase of 19%. Has Sky bought a Premiership football team when I wasn 't looking?! It's an outrageous and unjustifiable level of increase.

You've not quoted anyone but presuming you mean Pand then it's not is it? You may be paying 26% more but that's not due to a price increase (mostly), that will be the end of your previously agreed discounts or new customer offer. Would you rather have been paying full price from the off?
As ever, if you don't like it then leave? You don't them any loyalty and I'm afraid that works both ways.

On 12 October 2018, Comcastannounced it will compulsorily acquire the rest of Sky after its bid gained acceptance from 95.3% of the broadcaster's shareholders with the company being delisted by early 2019. Sky was delisted on 7 November 2018 after Comcast acquired all remaining shares.
That why we been taken for every penny we got.They dont care about us all they want is there money back what they paid for Sky there cash cow.
