Sky confirms when broadband prices will rise as 'digital exclusive' deals end this month
Sky customers can save on full fibre broadband with speeds up to 900Mbps in a selection of last-minute spring deals, but they're due to end soon
Sky's fibre broadband is down to £25 per month until May 28
Sky has confirmed exactly when its broadband prices for new customers will rise as the provider brings a raft of cost-cutting deals to an end. For the past month, Sky has been slashing the price of its broadband and TV packages, but most of the deals have now reverted to their usual pricing.
However, Sky is still offering some enticing discounts on its fibre broadband contracts in several 'digital exclusive price' deals, offering speeds up to a mega 900Mbps on select plans. These 'exclusive' prices now range from £25 per month for Full Fibre 75 all the way to £42 for Full Fibre Gigafast – Sky's fastest broadband.
A great middle of the road option is Sky's Full Fibre 500, which now costs £31 – £13.50 cheaper each month compared to the standard price of £43.50. However, Sky has now confirmed that each of these deals are set to expire on Wednesday, May 28, with prices set to increase after this date.

For those considering making the switch, it often works out better value to bundle broadband with a TV subscription, so it's worth considering Sky's selection. Following the end of its spring sale, Sky revived a popular TV, Netflix and broadband package, announcing 'our lowest price is back'.
The Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 bundle is back to £35 per month and comes with more than 100 channels, including Sky Atlantic. There's also free access to Netflix and Discovery+, with 35 extra channels available if upgrading to Ultimate TV for an extra £4.
Sky's 'digital exclusive' fibre broadband deals
from £25
Sky Get the deal here Product Description
Sky has launched three 'exclusive' fibre broadband deals, with speeds ranging from 75Mbps to 900Mbps.
Sky's latest deals rival Virgin Media's Bigger Combo bundle, but there are some key differences between each plan. Virgin's offering includes more than 200 TV channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99 per month, but there's no Sky Atlantic, Netflix or Discovery+ included here.
Sky Atlantic are included with BT and EE's NOW Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, but this comes in at £51.99 per month. But those sticking with Sky can benefit from the provider's new Sky Stream device, which delivers TV and streaming services over WiFi rather than a traditional satellite dish.
What's more, the One Touch Switch scheme means Sky will contact an existing broadband provider to process the switch on the customer's behalf. Many Sky customers have been sharing their experience of the brand on Trustpilot, with some hailing it as 'outstanding'.
'Great experience from the minute I signed up. It was super easy and at a competitive price'.
One five-star review said: 'Outstanding. Service is up and running smoothly. The quality of service is excellent, really fast, and I am delighted that I chose Sky Broadband and TV.
Another said: 'I have Full Fibre 150. Zero problems. Live sport doesn't lag, and it's a good price at under £30. Installation was perfect.'

A third said: 'Great experience from the minute I signed up. It was super easy to sign up online and at a competitive price. The equipment was delivered quickly and when I had an issue with a missing parcel, customer services went above and beyond to try and get me a replacement.'
However, this reviewer said: 'Like most broadband companies, the speed can be a bit up and down, but on the whole it's a good service.'

Netflix defies Trump tariffs with $1B investment
Netflix is making a huge international investment, despite President Donald Trump 's wishes. The streaming giant's CEO, Ted Sarandos, announced a $1.14 billion investment to help produce a pipeline of new shows in Spain . He made the declaration during a press conference in Tres Cantos, Spain, on Tuesday. Sarandos said the money will flow into the region between 2025 and 2028. It comes after the President said in May that he would slap a 100 percent tariff on any movie produced outside of the US . Netflix first started making content in Spain in 2015, producing well-watched shows like Money Heist. The major film and TV producer has continued to build production capacity, including a 10 soundstage studio complex in Madrid. 'Alongside your rich cultural heritage, vibrant entertainment industry and brilliant creative talent, Spain is also a great place to do business,' Sarandos said to an audience of journalists, movie producers, and local politicians. 'The last 10 years have been nothing short of extraordinary.' Trump's tariff announcement earlier this year has confused film production leaders, and offered little detail about how the levy would work in practice. 'Other countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States,' the President claimed on his Truth Social platform. 'Hollywood and many other areas within the USA are being devastated.' Like the sweeping tariffs placed on other industries — like 50 percent steel and aluminum levies or 25 percent automotive import fees — President Trump believes that the higher taxes will motivate increased investment in US production. Netflix's stock tumbled the day after the social media post . But it's impossible to know the knock-on impacts if Trump's policy was implemented. The White House hasn't revealed how it plans on assessing the value of international films before the tariff is applied. 'Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been made, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump's directive to safeguard our country's national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again,' White House spokesman, Kush Desai, said. In 2024, film industry experts reported a schedule of 5,048 total film and TV shoot days in Hollywood. That is good for a 36.4 percent drop from the five-year average. Other US production hubs, like Atlanta and Austin, have seen slower growth. Analysts worry that Trump's potential policy could make streamers slow down the number of shows they could produce. 'There's also a risk of retaliatory tariffs against American content overseas,' Barton Crockett, an analyst with Rosenblatt Securities, told Reuters. 'Raising the cost to produce movies could lead studios to make less content.' Hollywood production companies had already been in the crosshairs of back-and-forth tariff threats in the US trade war with China. Beijing is restricting the number of movies produced in Hollywood that can play in China, a move that can destroy the bottom line for multiple major US producers. Netflix's investment in Spain also comes as the company wrangles with regulators in other countries.

Italy plans to scrap no single buyer rule in Serie A TV rights sale
MILAN, June 10 (Reuters) - Italy plans to remove a ban on Italy's Serie A top flight soccer league selling its domestic broadcast rights to a single buyer, a draft government bill seen by Reuters showed, marking a major overhaul of media rules for live sports events. Italy introduced the "no single buyer rule" to avoid creating a dominant player in the pay-TV sector in 2008, when it approved a law entrusting sport leagues to collectively sell the rights to screen live matches. Broadcasting rights are the main revenue source for Serie A clubs but they lag behind those of other major European national leagues. Under existing contracts expiring in the 2028-29 season, Serie A earns some 900 million euros ($1 billion) annually from sport streaming service DAZN and pay-TV firm Sky (CMCSA.O), opens new tab, with the former screening all of the games and Sky co-broadcasting some of them. That sum is roughly half of the annual domestic broadcasting revenue of England's Premier League, which has a 'no single buyer rule' in place. Germany's Bundesliga, which last year removed its 'no single buyer rule', pockets some 1.1 billion euros annually from domestic broadcasting licences, according to data compiled by UEFA. The Italian government also plans to introduce changes in the way Serie A distributes the TV revenue among clubs, raising to "above 50%" from the current 50% the sum which must be equally split among all clubs, the draft bill showed. Clubs which develop and field young Italian players will be also granted additional revenue. ($1 = 0.8758 euros)
