TV Essentials tripled in price

As of last month (September) our TV essentials package has increased to £15 per month from £5! There's been no notification of an increase. Has this happened to anyone else and how have you sorted this please?

@MatthewY  Could minimum term discounts have expired, you don't currently get notifications regarding this

List price is £15 I believe, often discounted by £10 (to £5) - but this is only for a limited period which you were advised when taking it?

 

If so, you'll need to call Sky to see if they'll agree another discount but don't have to.

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own even if you don't like the answers

Did your future bills, available 3 months in advance, not show the increase?

@MatthewY as @PandJ2020 the standard price for essentials is £15 so looks like discount has ended contact Sky and see if they can re-contract at £5 again worth a try surely

Historically Sky was offering Essentials for £5 during the pandemic to retain contact with users who would otherwise have cancelled entirely: they aren't obliged to do so.
