Sky customers will be joining millions of other households that will see their bills increase sharply this spring, as the broadband and TV supplier announced hikes of an average of £67.20 a year.
BT, EE, Plusnet, Shell, TalkTalk, Three and Virgin Media customers already know they will be paying as much as 14.4% more for their services, with Sky announcing its increases today (February 9). Vodafone and O2 are yet to announce their increases.
Providers are allowed to increase prices mid-contract by the rate of inflation plus an extra amount on top, as set out in their terms and conditions, but this year, some of the firms are blaming the cost of living crisis for the steep rises, saying regulatory requirements, higher energy prices and increased network costs have forced their hand.
