ISP Sky Broadband UK Hikes the Price of Phone Line Rental
Customers who take their phone service from Sky Broadband (BSkyB) will be displeased, if perhaps not surprised (every other major ISP has already announced a rise), to learn that the price of Sky Line Rental will increase from £14.50 a month now to £15.40 from 1st December 2013.
The change was noticed via way of a subtle bit of small print that has recently appeared on Sky’s related product pages, which simply states: “Sky’s line rental price will increase on 1 December 2013, but will remain cheaper than BT’s current standard monthly price (£15.45 a month).” Is it really worth boasting about a 5p difference?
Interestingly Sky’s Upfront Line Rental, which cuts the price to the equivalent of £9.95 per month if you pay for 12 months in advance (total £119.40), remains unchanged.
