Sky to be going up in price for UK Customers

Sky is a satellite tv service that also offers broadband and phone services. I don't have it but my sister does and it is good The basic package is around £20 per month but goes way higher if you add movies and sports. My sis has the top package excluding sports which basically means no premiership football. Here in the UK we have only a few tv companies across the whole country. Sky which is satellite, virgin which is cable and freeview which is digital and free.

You are quite right, Sky does also provide an internet package and a telephone line service as well. I have not used sky for almost 20 years now. When I bought the house it was new, so had no aerial fitted at the time. While out looking for a new television I noticed a special offer for Sky, which was free box and setup. This seemed an easy solution, so I took the basic package on a 2 year contract. There were only 3 channels that I watched regular, but just after 2 years all three of them changed to premium channels, thus leaving me with nothing of interest. To make matters worse, they sent me a letter stating that the basic package would rise by around 50%. There was no chance that I would pay an extra 50% and then extra for other channels, so I had an aerial fitted and terminated Sky altogether.

I have never even heard of this. I have had Netflix nearly since it started.

That's a shame. My guess is they are going to lose customers because of it.

I just paid my cable/internet/phone bill today. $257 Ridiculous. I am thinking about going to Netflix or something.
