What are Sky's early termination fees?
SKY TV customers will incur an early termination fee if they choose to cancel their contract before the end of the agreed minimum term.
The amount you're charged depends on:
How long is left of your minimum term from the date your subscriptions end, calculated in days
The days you have already been billed for in advance
The products you subscribe to, the price you pay for them and when your subscriptions end
For Sky TV, early termination charges range from £14.00 to £42.89 per month, depending on the specific package.
For instance, if you cancel a standard Sky TV package priced at £33.82 per month with 12 months remaining on a 24-month contract, you would be required to pay the remaining 12 months' fees in one lump sum.
This would result in a total early termination fee of £405.84.
The beloved channel will be rebranded as ITV Quiz.
Those looking for any of their favourite channels named here need to make sure they're aware of these new names.
If you're looking for a new Sky deal, customers can get Sky Stream & Essential TV for just £15/month.
The company is also giving Sky customers an upgrade for popular TV app filled with top movies.
