Sky prices rising by 6%

[Super+Anthony]

Really. We going to be paying more yet the systems are not fully functioning.

From April, Sky’s TV and broadband customers can expect to pay more for their services. But unlike other companies, some of Sky’s customers will be able to cancel without paying early termination fees.

• 6.2% increase is more than double the current 2.5% inflation rate

Stream

To be honest Skys price rises ( if you compared like for like packages and services) isn't really that different to what competitors are doing. In terms of competing ISPs which have updated contract terms to include pound and pence price rises built into contracts these are typically set to £3/month price rises each year so there shouldn't really be anything shocking with regards to the price rises each year around broadband services.

Also as has been discussed in other threads on here about the OFCOM ruling to put clear price rises built into mobile and broadband contracts - it was always going to lead to higher prices rises than customers were on average getting under the old system

It's just rather frustrating that prices go up, but the steam is not functioning as well as it should, despite it being a very good upgrade

[82bit]

Sky doing what Sky do best: fleecing their customers. They actually believe 'Ad Skiping' is worth £6pm. That 'Kids' is worth £8(!)pm. That Whole Home is worth a whopping £15pm! 

Madness! 

I'll be downgrading my Netflix to the 'free' tier to offset some of these increases and leaving at the earliest opportunity.

Agreed @82bit re ad skipping. I think it's very useful but definitely not worth £6.99 and should be included in with the costs we already pay. I also downgraded Netflix 

The only thing I would say is Sky stream is potentially an excellent product, once Sky deal with the issues with it and improves the item and also not to blame our ISP and networks
