What is the Best value Sky+HD pkg now?

[Lynn110]

Have Sky+HD, Signature, sky Sports, BB and telephone pkg for years. Since November last year the prices have shot up to  £129/pm 😫😫 after all that we still could not watch the French Open, some of the cricket series. OMG

Atrocious increase, to say the least!  Need to reduce the bills. It's insane! Mostly watch sports, news docu. Before last November it was less than £80, from that it's a huge jump. 

Anyone please suggest. 

Thank You 🙏

Are you now out of contract? That would explain the large price increase. If so, I'd speak to Sky about renewing, to see if they'll offer a reasonable discount.  Ask for the cancellations team

The Sky chap renewed automatically. Was ill at the time...didn't really bother with all that. Tx

Ridiculous jump!

Not sure what you mean by that first bit. Are you sure you're not now paying the full standard price?

Unless you’ve recently changed your subscription, prices increase due to either the annual price increase (April in the UK), your discounts have ended, or a combination of the two.

Sky will have told you the date any discount was ending when you took it out so if it has ended you’ll be paying the full undiscounted price.

Perhaps compare a previous bill to your latest bill and see where the amounts differ
www.sky.com/bill.

If you’re no longer in a discounted minimum term, or its ending soon 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. 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.

Being on a Sky+ package could mean you may be offered a better discount if you move to Sky Q, Glass or Stream.

When an existing deal is about to end, Sky offer an "automatic renewal" which, quite frankly, isn't usually a very good deal. The onus is on the customer to contact Sky before that new deal starts and negotiate a better one. (I recently did exactly this and am paying the same as I was before).

Unfortunately, it appears that you did accept the automatic renewal deal which probably means that you are now stuck on that for the duration.
