Hi all,
You may already be aware but if not, Sky are increasing their line rental from £17.40 to £18.99 on 1st March.
You should have received a letter about it explaining that you can be released from contract due to the increase, however I did not receive my letter. I called them up today though and was allowed out of contact no trouble at all and was even able to specify a termination date. It's quite handy timing as my contract was until October but I'm about to move to an address with no coverage from Sky's network.
I hope this helps somebody.
Dave

It is unclear thou if existing customers will be affected thou.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/bills-and-utilities/phone/sky-line-rental-jumps-228-year-second-9pc-increase/IMHO increase will be applied to everyone. Some channels will be removed as well https://www.sky.com/help/articles/changes-to-sky-channels?DCMP=snt-skycom:ec_channel_changesGood moment to haggle the prices or leave if one's not happy with sky. dlR

I am an existing customer with a negotiated deal but the increase did apply to me and I was let out of contract.

Not me personally but I have been informed by a few that they can't get through to some "useful" 0870 numbers. It all started this afternoon. Seems like Sky is doing what Virgin media started a few months ago. I hope I am wrong though and it is just a temporary glitch.

Which ranges have they blocked? I am no longer a Sky customer so i can't easily test.
Also what happens when you call the ranges?

When you call the 0870 numbers, customers hear the message "you have dialled an incorrect number". But when I got the customer to call another random 0870 number, that seems to connect fine

Still happening today? I might try a few calls when I have access to a Sky line in a few days. What are the number ranges which no longer work?

According to the information I have, SKY have blocked most/all dial through, conference and radio Service numbers.

So are they blocking whole ranges or individual DDI numbers?

So, Sky become just like most other providers arbitrarily blocking whatever numbers and ranges they feel like, in breach of regulations.
