Rang sky yesterday trying to cancel my sky package. Was told I can't.
So even if you try and pay your package off early they won't let you
Nope, the charges mentioned are for if Sky terminate the contract early due to the customer breaching the Ts&Cs.You can and you are allowed to pay out if you wish regardless of what numpty you got on the phone or online saying otherwise.

No one is ever forced to take Sky. They know that enough people will swallow the increase or else they wouldn't do it.I would never, ever, ever, ever in a million years get Sky. Massive rip off - hundreds of channels of junk (and I get enough junk on Freeview). I just don't know how they justify these price rises - especially after the year we've all had.
I would suspect that they apply this purely to prevent people trying to renegotiate during a contract. If you were just looking to leave, and paid up in full the remaining period of your contract before formal cancellation then legally they would not be able to do anything to stop you, nor would there be any reason for them to try to, to be honest.I can give my 31 days notice in May. I tired to negotiate as at the moment there is no new content I am watching.
Long story short it was explained to me that I cannot cancel until then, I cannot even payoff the reminder of my contract
Where's the problem in paying off your obligation early? No one has reneged on payment.End of the day, if you sign to a contract, the price should be fixed for the length of that contract otherwise what's the point of a contract?
See this confuses me - are they charging for 4k, or are they charging for 1080p too?Can't believe Sky is still charging a premium for HD! I guess they still have the old dinosaur SD then? Hilerious. Hello, its 2021, we have 4k for some time now.
You've a legal right to cancel your services without penalty if a provider introduces previously unannounced price increases mid contract while you are in a contract with them. Ofcom enforce this:Rang sky yesterday trying to cancel my sky package. Was told I can't.

…if a provider wishes to increase the monthly subscription price (or prices) agreed by the customer at point of sale, customers should be given at least one month's notice of the increase and be allowed to exit the contract without penalty.
Hence the reasoning behins the Ofcom leiuslation allowing consumers to leave without penalty if such increases are imposed or announced.End of the day, if you sign to a contract, the price should be fixed for the length of that contract otherwise what's the point of a contract?
Oh yes, they'll happily bill you both for HD, and then 4k on top! You can negate some of that if you have multiscreen as that includes 4k (but not HD!)See this confuses me - are they charging for 4k, or are they charging for 1080p too?
I'm outside my original minimum term on Sky Q. But I did take a 36 month reduced price sports sub, I suspect they will use that as a reason not to allow me to leave - however I wonder if the fact the base package price is changing (which I need to view sports) might allow me to leave sky?
As I've stated above, if in a contract with SKY and if they impose a previously unaounced price increase mid contrat then you are free to leave without penalty. If not in a contract then you are free to leave whenever you want to.
Sky will not cancel a contract earlier than minimum term at the customers request.
