Re: VIP rewards are useless
Cancel it, you can leave without penaalty as its because its a price rise but confirm with them., they will likely call you afteer you cancel to offer a better price for youto stay
It is an absolute disgrace that they rip off existing long standing customers and something OFCOM should outlaw.
You can get your 150 product as a new custome for £24 and all speed are cheaper than the £38.

I am 18 years with Sky and getting a tad fed up. Any reason why I should not switch? Reaching 80 years old next week and every pound is a prisoner.
Hi @117golfdog As Vodafone & Sky use the same infrastructure (Openreach), the switch should be quick and simple. So, if you know what you are doing technical wise, why the hesitation?

Re: VIP rewards are useless
@SFC It seems to be the way sadly these days with any company but I have to say I've been lucky with deals and prices with sky and that's been with first offfers as i ask for example lower than £28.50? They say no and I say well better than £43 is £28.50 they say correct job done for 2 years and that's broadband

Re: VIP rewards are useless
Happy Days.
After lengthy deliberations and to cut a long conversation short, I am now paying less than i was, and should any of the April increases affect me, ( they may not), then I would still be paying the same as I am now. The strange thing about all of this was they could not offer me any deals on my current 150 full fibre, but were able to do so on 500? So a result, and happy birthday to me.
Thanks for all your replies.
