So you seriously consider that one month into a contract, it is reasonable and fair for one party to the contract to arbitrarily alter the terms of the original contract?

Sky always put there prices up at that time, I don't have a Sky contract to look at but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a time frame worded in to the contract, the OP has been unlucky time wise.
Orange did the same to me last year, not one month into a contract but 11 months into a 24 month contract they actioned a clause in their standard terms that allows them to up their rates if the Retail Price Index is not to their satisfaction in October of any year, they hadn't acted on that clause for three years previously but obviously felt they could get away with it in 2011, so they did.
I'm not with Orange now, obviously.

I did not look at the small print, but then again, who does?
I was going to go down the cancellation route, but would I not be liable for the remaining months of the contract (about ? If that is so, then I have nothing to bargain with.
I took out the deal totally based on the price given to me. For them to change that so quick is surely false advertising.
