Monthly price change to upgrade from sky Q essentials to signature

[PeterH100]

I joined Sky 3 months ago and took out the Sky Q Essentials TV and Broadband package. I have since decided that I would like to upgrade the Essentials TV to Signature TV. I currently pay £30 per month for Essentials and Broadband.

I called Sky to see what the price difference would be if I upgraded to Sky Signature TV. I was told that it would be almost another £30 per month, practically doubling my monthly bill. 

I can't afford that much of an increase. Does anybody know a way around this or have they managed to get a better deal? I want to stay with Sky Q and not go to Sky Stream. Thanks in advance.

Signature retails at almost 3 times essentials - unless Sky are prepared to give you a momental discount then there's 'no way around it'.

Essentials has no Sky content at all and Signature has loads so I'm surprised it's only £30 more.

But I guess if essentials is about 15 a month that matches the 3x

Realistically that's something like £25 for broadband and £5 for Television Essentials, so 'almost £30' increase to get Signature is entirely plausible, particularly as Sky is now much more likely to discount bundles on Glass/Stream rather than Q.
