Sky customers will soon be hit by a big price hike with the TV and telecoms company announcing its yearly rises. The changes, which will come into force from April, will affect those using the firm's TV and broadband services with bills rising by 6.2 percent.
That increase means those currently paying Sky £60 per month will pay an extra £3.78 per month. Of course, each bill is different, so customers will all face unique rises depending on their current contract.
Sky says that the new cost increases are reflective of the investments it has made to improve its products and services.
The firm also says that it is facing increasing cost pressures – such as the amount it pays wholesalers for its connectivity infrastructure, or the investments it needs to make in technology to deliver improvements to its products.
These increases are, of course, then passed onto consumers. Sky says its rises are in line with or lower than other providers.
Speaking about the changes, a Sky spokesperson said: “Our Sky broadband and TV products will see an average increase of 6.2% from April. We have worked hard to minimise the financial impact to customers while ensuring we maintain incredible value across our products and continue to invest in the services and experiences they know and love.”
