Update on Sky Broadband pricing changes
The thread below has some factual inaccuracies, due to the fact the information was leaked to us.
Update: 14:57
We have been told that Sky will get back to us about this news, hopefully, before close of play today.

We have been tipped off that Sky Broadband pricing is to change as from March 2009, with the emphasis on customers signing up to Sky Talk, receiving lower prices.
Current Pricing (per month) is:
Base - £0
Mid - £5
Max - £10
Connect - £17
New Pricing as from March 2009:
Base - £5 or £0 with Sky Talk
Mid - £10 or £5 with Sky Talk
Max - £15 or £10 with Sky Talk
Connect - £17 (no price increase or requirement for Sky Talk)
Apparently, any customers signing up to Sky Broadband as from 20th November 2008 will be informed of these future changes, and that their subscription would be increased in March 2009, if they were not signed up to Sky Talk.
It had to come sooner or later, and it is fairly clear, that Sky's planned growth is in the Sky Talk arena.
We have asked Sky to confirm or deny this information, and will publish the reply, if and when we receive one.
