Question Sky price hike!

Hi guys! I signed up with sky a couple of months ago but got an email today saying that my monthly subscription is going up by £3 per month. I know this isn't a lot of money but it's the principle. I joined sky agreeing to pay a certain amount per month and now they're increasing the cost. Can they do this without my agreement? Has anyone else received any email like this?

Thanks guys!

Kimi.

I was with virgin for years and I've had more issues with sky in 2 months than I ever had with VM. I'm pretty livid to be honest!

I was with VM for years too and went out and bought 3D TV and the only way to get 3D was to take out the full sky package. Normal price for the full package was £58 a month but got it for £24.50 a month with promotion code.

I was all set up to watch world masters darts final in 3D and just before the start the screen went blank Phoned sky to ask them why and they told me 3D sports live is only available in pups and clubs All that expense on equipment and sky package and still can't get to see it live. I'll have to wait and see what the autumn brings when it's supposed to more 3D content available.

Don't forget the VAT hike in 2011, that's another increase in subs.

I assume these codes that your looking for are for the Half price thing? if thats the case mate then u gonna have a hard time finding them.


if you know a sly engineer he can sort you out for a small fee and that way u can get the half price line for 1 yr
