Anybody with a Sky account is being warned that in seven weeks' time their bills will rise.
Sky is poised to make the massive change for millions of customers, Birmingham Live reports. Bills will go up by an average of £67 a year from April, a huge 8.1% increase.
A Sky spokesperson said in a statement: "This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We have tried to minimise the impact to customers with an average price increase across all our broadband and TV customers of 8.1%, which is below levels of inflation again this year."

Sky said it will start notifying customers from February 16. Sky broadband and home phone customers who are in contract have the option to leave penalty-free within 30 days of being told about the price increases.
Customers who are signed up to a Sky social tariff, which offer cheaper rates for households on benefits, won't be affected by the price hikes. Sky Glass and Stream customers who are in contract also won't see their bills rise while they are still in their contract period.
It comes after financial guru Martin Lewis warned of more expensive broadband contracts across the board. Last month, the Money Saving Expert founder tweeted: "Broadband is very worrying, many have clauses allowing them to increase prices mid contract by CPI or RPI + 4%. That could mean in March 15%+ rises for many".
