145mb Pricing

[StuartPetty]

I want to upgrade my broadband speed. I looked at the 145mb option but the price is listed at £45.75. 

We have City Fibre in our Street who are offering gigabit fibre for £29.99 a month.

Before cancelling will Sky sort out pricing to at least match ?

Very unlikely.  Sky is paying Openreach wholesale pricing to access a national network while CityFibre uses venture capital to install and run its own private optical distribution in very limited geographical areas, so their supply costs are rather different.

It's also worth noting that the business model of altnet ISPs such as CityFibre typically involves running at a loss on subscription pricing while trying to build user numbers to a sustainable level.
