Sky TV and broadband customers in Clydebank could see their bills increase by up to £72 this year from a price hike.

The telecommunications company has confirmed it will be increasing the cost of a number of TV and broadband services from April 1 this year.

How much more will I be paying?

The average price increase will be £3 per month, which works out as £36 extra per year.

However, eight per cent of Sky customers will be paying double this cost if they have multiple Sky services.

BT Sport, Sky Talk Anytime Extra, and Sky Talk International Extra will increase by £2 per month, whilst the Sky Broadband Essential service will be increasing by £3 per month.

The Sky Signature TV package, multiscreen, Sky HD, Sky Ultimate, and Sky Broadband Superfast will all be rising in cost by £1 per month.

However, your overall price increasewill be capped at £72 a year (£6 per month) as price rises have been capped.

Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Sky Kids, and Sky Talk Evening and Weekends Extra will not be changing in price and will remain the same cost.

Sky Mobile services will also remain unaffected.

Customers who will be affected by the price hike will be informed in writing over the next month.

Any customers who have not heard from Sky by March 27 are not affected by any price increases.

For those who wish to leave Sky, you may be able to do so without facing a penalty, but this depends on your contract and the services you are signed up to.

It’s also worth checking what other deals are out there before switching provider, as you may still be on the cheapest deal.

A Sky spokesperson said in a statement: “We know price increases are never welcome and we try to keep prices down whilst still delivering the content our customers love, the flexibility to choose the package that suits them and with leading customer service”.
