Notice: This Article Requires Additional Expansion

This article is underdeveloped, and needs additional work to meet the wiki's Content Guidelines and be in line with our Mission Statement for comprehensive coverage of consumer protection issues. Issues may include:

  • This article needs to be expanded to provide meaningful information
  • This article requires additional verifiable evidence to demonstrate systemic impact
  • More documentation is needed to establish how this reflects broader consumer protection concerns
  • The connection between individual incidents and company-wide practices needs to be better established
  • The article is simply too short, and lacks sufficient content

How You Can Help:

  • Link to credible reporting that covers these issues
  • Flesh out the article with relevant information

Sky UK Limited provides live TV in the UK.


Sky has a set top box called Sky Q. You dont own the device but rent it from them and once you terminate the service - they send packaging and you have to return it and hope its not damaged.

Sky contracts - they trap you in 2 year contracts, you cant leave and they increase the prices every April. They wont tell you what the increase will be at the start of the contract and you're stuck.


The way they bundle their packs - you need to have sky ultimate to add on sky sports ( can't have a basic plan)


They give new users a better deal, despite them claiming you're a valued customer. And if you change to a streaming box as its cheaper I need to pay 40 pounds extra which a new user doesn't.
