I received this letter as well today but it doesnt really bother me as i dont actually have a telephone plugged into my sky telephone line, its just got the boxes & broadband connected.
Its probably an effort to get people to subscribe to the more expensive £5 a month calling plan, which will more than likely work |

So, Sky follows BT with the connection and per minute charge increases but not with the making 0845/0870 calls inclusive (OTOH, with their exorbitant rates for those calls I suppose that would be a step too far).
Interesting the switch to charging for peak 0844 calls to Sky - they must be looking to boost income - are churn and package downsizing on the rise due to the depression? |

I think this is in line with new BT Retail prices from 1 April. Note also the mention of a possible monthly line rental increase of 50p by other voice service providers in line with new BT Openreach price rises. |

How is this different to BT charges? Higher? Lower? Genuinely don't know. Will probably determine if i get the broadband and other package.
