Last week we warned that UK customers of Sky Broadband could expect to be hit with price increases from 1st April 2018 and we now have some details of what will be changing, which reflects a rise of about 3.48% on the current pricing.
Annual price rises are common amongst all of the major broadband providers and some, such as BT, can be particularly crafty by sneaking in more than one hike a year (usually by introducing next year’s changes a few months’ earlier than in the previous year). In Sky Broadband’s case their last broadband increase was introduced on 1st March 2017, while their 2018 rise will impact one month later (kinder than others).
Customers are now starting to be notified and we understand that the following services will be going up in price.
Sky Price Rises for 1st April 2018 (Excluding Discounts)
* Sky Broadband Unlimited (17Mbps) from £28.99 to £30
* Sky Fibre 25GB (38Mbps) from £28.99 to £30
* Sky Sports (31 Day Contract) from £27.50 to £28
I hope some of this money is going to advanced technologies (i.e. full fibre) in the future and not to Sky bidding for football rights.
