Well, expect more of these I'm afraid:

Pay-TV group Sky (SKYB.L) believes its customers will accept higher prices, it said on Tuesday after reporting a 20 percent jump in nine-month profit, sending its shares to a 14-year high.

Apparently churn rates are lower than expected, so while CF is full of people complaining about price rises, it seems in the wider market people are accepting them. Of course Sky are openly saying this to investors because it helps their bottom line but I'm not sure they want to be seen as this brazen with their customer base when it comes to their price structure.
