It's not as if it's a straight price increase, they are actually forcing an upgrade if they want to continue receiving their current services which must be wrong.
I do agree with this, but ther is one thing that could let this down ( the number of subscribers of the lower teir packs )

If they jump ship then who are they going to jump ship to? Sky's minimum package is £19 (going up to £19.50 I believe). I wonder as well how many people took out the £7 option. TV choice is nice to have in with the xl package but no way would I pay that for it especially if I chose, or could only afford, to pay for one of the lower tiers. I'm also sorry to see this option go but let's face it, it's not going to be the end of the world, even to most of the people who took this option.
What happened with the VIP50 pckage as most of the VIP20 custs were not happy with it and they were offered the SKY HD sub free for 6 months.
