 That's just it though I wouldn't save , my retentions package currently comes in at £78.00 for my listed services so with the £3.50 increase it will only take it to £81.50 until the new year.

 The price of Sky Sports has increased by £1.00 from September so you'd expect this charge to filter down to other platforms who sell Sky Sports.

 Didnt think of that so that means VM customers will also get a Sky Sports pay increase.  Oh dear for Den
