Sky urges Brits to act fast as 'lowest price' TV, Netflix and broadband sale ends today
Sky shoppers are being urged to act fast to avoid missing out on its latest round of TV and broadband deals. The provider recently brought back a popular TV and broadband bundle that's seen prices return to their 'lowest ever', with the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle back to £35 per month and offering 300Mbps fibre broadband for the price of 150Mbps.
However, Sky has now posted a warning on its website confirming the deal ends at 11.59pm today (June 18). Also coming to an end is the reduced Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle, which provides more than 35 extra channels for £39.
Usually, Sky's Full Fibre 300 costs £29 per month without any TV access, but the latest deals also grant access to more than 100 channels including Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports News, and major free-to-air channels like BBC, ITV and Channel 4. The combined bundles also include free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions, with the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports for an additional £10 and £20 respectively.
All of this is delivered via Sky Stream, the brand's new gadget that provides TV and streaming access through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish. Sky is now among the providers to roll out the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to complete the switch as Sky will do the legwork, reports the Mirror.
To secure the lower prices, customers are required to agree to a 24-month plan. Sky states that the cost of its TV and broadband plans 'may change' during this term, which traditionally includes an annual price increase in April common among many firms.
Sky earlier this year announced a hike of 6.2% in its TV and broadband service charges, making it probable that a similar rise could occur in April 2026. Nonetheless, Sky distinguishes itself by allowing users to end their contracts early if a price rise is announced.
Sky's latest deals are competing directly with Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle, offering more than 200 channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99. While this is one penny less than Sky and roughly 60Mbps faster, it lacks access to Sky Atlantic or Netflix, which may be essential for some users.
Competition also comes from BT and EE's Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which starts at £48.99 per month for the first six months before it jumps to the standard rate of £63.99, eventually costing more than £600 extra compared to Sky. In terms of user feedback, Sky customers have been sharing their positive experiences on Trustpilot.
One five-star review says: " Sky Stream is a game changer. Switched a few weeks back and it's the best decision I've ever made. Installation takes care of itself, the remote even auto tunes itself to the TV. The best part is the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions."
One less enthusiastic member says: "I wasn't happy with the service provided by Sky, phoned up to change my deal and was passed around like a parcel. Eventually, I got to speak to someone who knew what they were doing. I am happy my issue was finally resolved but took a lot of work."
While another happy customer says: "I've been with lots of companies to get my TV and internet, but the best service I have received out of them all is Sky. We did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."

Reason Florian Wirtz chose Liverpool made clear in first words after £116m move
Florian Wirtz is excited for his new adverture after completing his transfer to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen. The Germany international becomes the Reds' most expensive ever signing after Arne Slot's side agreed a deal that could reach £116million. Liverpool will initially part ways with £100m and could yet secure a British record deal for the 22-year-old if add-ons, which are linked to both the individual success of the player and the team, are met. Wirtz arrived on Merseyside on Thursday to complete his medical ahead of the deal being confirmed, with the final tests being on Friday morning. Liverpool's newest attacker has put pen to paper on a five-year contract. Wirtz made it clear his preference was a move to Liverpool late last month and turned down advances from Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Real Madrid also had an initial interest but decided to pursue other targets. "I feel very happy and very proud," said Wirtz after signing. "Finally it's done and I was waiting for a long time – finally it's done and I am really happy. 'I'm really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League. 'I will see how I can perform there. I hope I can do my best. I spoke also with some players who played there and they told me that it's perfect for me and every pitch is perfect, you can enjoy every game. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game.' Winning the Premier League is already on Wirtz's mind. 'I would like to win everything every year! First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work," he added. 'In the end, we want to be successful. Last season they won the Premier League so my goal is for sure to win it again and also to go further in the Champions League. I'm really ambitious.' Liverpool's spending this summer is set to surpass £200m. The Reds are set to land Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth after agreeing a £40m fee. The left-back is set to make the trip to Merseyside for a medical next week. Join our new WhatsApp communityand receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Shocking Netflix ‘hijacking' that uses convincing trick to empty your bank account exposed as TV fans told ‘be careful'
NETFLIX users are being warned of a scam that could see them vulnerable to having their personal data stolen. Cyberprotection company, Malwarebytes, issued the serious warning for people who search for tech support numbers online and that hackers were using sponsored ads to fool unsuspecting punter. The company explained that "cybercriminals frequently use ads directing to a malicious site to take advantage of our trust in sponsored search results for popular brands." It found in a recent ruse, that support scammers were hijacking the results of legitimate sites. How they pull off their scam is that they will pay for a sponsored ad on Google pretending to be a major brand and while that will usually lead to a fake website, there were some cases people were to a brand's legitimate site, "but with one small difference." The company used photos showing how the address bar on a website that a person was taken to after unknowingly clicking on one of these dodgy ads looked legitimate, but "the results had been poisoned to display the scammer's phone number instead of the business' real number." "When you call the scam number, the scammers will pose as the brand with the aim of getting you to hand over personal data or financial information, or even allow them remote access to your computer," Malwarebytes wrote on X, formerly Twitter. It then showed examples of how scammers had manipulated the real Netflix site but a "fake number appears in what looks like a search result, making it seem official." "This is able to happen because Netflix's search functionality blindly reflects whatever users put in the search query parameter without proper sanitization or validation," the company explained. "This creates a reflected input vulnerability that scammers can exploit." Netflix was just one example of the scammers' grit, Malwarebytes also found other brands that were targeted included, PayPal, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and HP. Malwarebytes suggested people install browse guards on their computers to protect them from the elaborate scams. Netflix reveal huge list of movies and TV shows being axed next month – with some children's favourites in the mix Outside of installing the browser guard, people can also protect themselves from this kind of scam in a number of different ways. Red flags to look out for include, a phone number in the URL, suspicious search terms like 'Call Now' or 'Emergency Support' in the address bar of the browser, an excess of encoded characters alongside the characters,such as, %20 (space) and %2B (+ sign) along with phone numbers. Other warning signs include, the website showing a search result before you entered one, an in-browser warning for known scams, and urgent language displayed on the website. How to spot a dodgy app Detecting a malicious app before you hit the 'Download' button is easy when you know the signs. Follow this eight-point checklist when you're downloading an app you're unsure about: Check the reviews - be wary of both complaints and uniformly positive reviews by fake accounts. Look out for grammar mistakes - legitimate app developers won't have typos or errors in their app descriptions. Check the number of downloads - avoid apps with only several thousand downloads, as it could be fake. Research the developer - do they have a good reputation? Or, are totally fake? Check the release date - a recent release date paired with a high number of downloads is usually bad news. Review the permission agreement - this agreement gives permission for the app to take bits of your data, and fake apps often ask for additional data that is not necessary. Check the update frequency - an app that is updated too frequently is usually indicative of security vulnerabilities. Check the icon - look closely, and don't be deceived by distorted, lower-quality versions the icons from legitimate apps. All of this information will available in both Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store. "And before you call any brand's support number, look up the official number in previous communications you've had with the company (such as an email, or on social media) and compare it to the one you found in the search results. If they are different, investigate until you're sure which one is the legitimate one," said Jérôme Segura, senior director of research of Malwarebytes. "If during the call, you are asked for personal information or banking details that have nothing to do with the matter you're calling about, hang up." 2
