Recent price increases
The monthly price for my overall package increased from £167 in October to £175 in November, when some discounts ended, then to £194 in December. This seems extraordinary and I'm wondering if others are paying anything like this.
As a breakdown of the latest bill, I have:
Sky Signature £28
Ultimate TV add-on £8
Sky Sports £33
TNT £30
Sky Cinema £13
Sky Sports HD £2 (discounted)
Sky HD £9
Multiscreen £15
UHD £4
Sky Broadband Superfast £43
Broadband Boost £7
Talk Voicemail £2
Any comments or advice on any of these figures?
I guess switching to a different broadband supplier is one option.
Many thanks for any thoughts/ideas.

Re: Recent price increases
Nothing extraordinary if you haven't agreed a mininum term/discounts.
Sky will assume you're 'happy' paying list prices if you don't contact them...
But the best deals are likely to be had being a new customer somewhere else.

Re: Recent price increases
I agree with @PandJ2020 A lot of those prices suggest they are not discounted. The best new discounts are normally acquired by calling Sky and negotiating or potentially amending your package which will now require a 24 month minimum term contract. Remember Sky are not obliged to offer you another discount, and recent posts on here indicate that significant discounts are now harder to come by. 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 may no longer be available when you call back.
