Hi guys,
I've just taken out sky's £25 for 25 months deal, from a code I had from a sky engineer. I've had the deal for about 3 months. I've had a letter through the post today saying that sky are increasing my bill by £4 a month from September.
Can sky do this? Just need some ammo before calling them! Would like your thoughts on this please guy's.

Yeah, had that too.. and yes, they can. T&Cs say that you're protected from price increases for the first 60 days and then you're just like any other monkey.

That said, it would be interesting to see what you can do. No doubt, they'll try and keep you on at an original rate...

If you entered a contract for £25 pm for 25 months, does that deal not have it's own T&Cs?

Surely they can't do that as it's a fixed rate deal.

Ring them and ask for retentions, tell them you want to cancel the contract as Sky are not keeping to their end of the deal by increasing the bill by £4

Thanks guys, I probably could cancel as sky are changing the T&C's. But it's just bad they can't keep a deal promised! The starving Kents! :mad:

That deal you are on is for sky staff friends and family, I'm looking for the terms now but can't find them

I'd still ring them and have a go though

I'd be exactly the same, even if it was £1 or even 50p
The way I see it is they offered you that deal at that rate so that's all you should pay until the 25 month term is up

I bullied a Sky engineer for the code as he was waiting by a burger van! :D

It was for Sky's 25 year anniversary. Not sure if the codes are still available.

Good luck mate:)

It was just under £100 a few months back, they offered us sky sports 5 free and free internet with a 2 year contract, the wife does not drink and not a big spender and loves her programmes.
