Rising cost of billing

I returned to sky so I could be safe in the knowledge that I manage my bills easier and I can see that I negotiated a large reduction of costs in comparison to what BT were charging

after changing address I have notice my account has gone from approx £72 per month to £98 I am aware that while I took on sport for a month while wanting to watch the olympics etc and was told I could  terminate the sky sport anytime, well I can't and have seen my bills now creep up to £98 a month, you do not make it easy to reduce package I cannot find where I can terminate channels I only asked to have for a short period of time snd cancelling has been impossible!!! I have been distracted with other personal issues going on so I have a small amount of head space to reduce my bills, please and trim my bill to an acceptable amount or first chance I have I will be moving, thank you

@Shazzabear you will need to contact sky. Sky sports is either 18 months or 31 days rolling contract so check which you have as you may not be able to cancel. If you arw able you will need ti give 31 days notice. Also note that as discounts end, prices revert to list prices so your monthly cost will increase.

@Shazzabear Have you tried holding on the line. I've literally never had to wait more than 10 minutes to get through to a person, regardless of how long the estimate wait time is.
