As more consumers look to cut down on their bill spending after the recent price increases, a host of retailers are offering deals on essential household bills. As broadband and TV deals continue to soar, Sky is still offering a much cheaper price that beats both Virgin Media and BT.
The provider is still offering its cheaper rate on the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 Broadband package, now £35 per month. Which now means it's only £7 more than the standalone broadband, yes the price shoppers pay without all the TV perks.
For the new £35 price, customers will have access to over 100 TV channels, including Sky Atlantic, complimentary subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+, along with their 300Mbps broadband. Sky now provides its TV service via a Sky Stream puck, which operates over WiFi rather than a traditional satellite dish or aerial.
This component of the TV bundle typically costs £15 on its own, meaning customers effectively receive 300Mbps broadband for £20. Sky has also launched the new One Touch Switch scheme, allowing customers to switch providers without having to contact their current one - Sky handles the process.
Another plan in the sale is the 150Mbps Full Fibre 150 plan, that has been reduced to £26 per month – the same price as the 75Mbps option. This is a penny more expensive than Virgin's basic 132Mbps plan, but it also provides around 28Mbps additional speed.
BT doesn't quite match up to its main competitors, with its closest plan only providing 36Mbps for £27.99 per month. Even with BT's offer of three months free, its contracts ultimately cost more than Sky for similar speeds over the duration of the plan.
However, it may be worth investing a little extra with Sky if you can afford it, as for an additional £2 each month, Sky will double the speed from 150Mbps to 300Mbps. This is due to the Full Fibre 300 plan now being available for £28 per month, which Sky claims is its 'lowest ever price', reports the Mirror.
This deal outperforms both BT and Virgin, with the latter's 362Mbps plan priced at £29.99. However, better value can be found for those bundling their broadband with a TV package.
It's important to note that Sky's TV and broadband plans are 24-month contracts, so these prices require a long-term commitment. Sky also states its price 'may change' during this period, as most providers increase their prices annually in line with inflation.
This year, Sky increased its TV and broadband prices by 6.2%, suggesting a similar rise could occur in April 2026. However, Sky is among the few providers that allow members to terminate their contract early if a price increase is announced – a significant advantage over competitors like Virgin and BT.
Sky has received glowing reviews from Trustpilot users, with one customer sharing: "I used Sky broadband for many years before moving house and after moving I stayed connected. It's efficient, reliable and affordable broadband".
Another user praised the company's customer service, stating: "We were impressed by Sky's customer service, whether it is a conversation over the phone or an engineer home visit to help resolve the issue. For the past 10 years of having broadband with various providers, Sky is the best in terms of customer service."
However, not all experiences have been positive, as one customer pointed out: "Sky is great when it actually works. Me and my husband are gamers and the last couple of months has been awful. No internet connection. Also not helpful if you are working from home or doing online courses."
