Sky's 'lowest price is back' as TV, Netflix and broadband at an all time low in payday sale
Sky has brought back a popular TV and broadband deal that's slashes prices to their 'lowest ever' in an surprise pay day sale. Just weeks after ending its Easter sale, Sky has once again discounted its Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle to £35 per month and is offering 300Mbps fibre broadband for the price of 150Mbps. Sky said 'our lowest ever price is back' as it announced the sale, which also sees the Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle, with more than 35 extra channels, reduced to £39. Typically, 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 packages also come with 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 device that provides TV and streaming access through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish. Sky is now among the providers to adopt the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to complete the switch. Rather, Sky will handle the necessary procedures on behalf of the customer. It's crucial to note that to benefit from the lower rates, customers must commit to a two-year contract, and Sky has indicated that the price for their TV and broadband packages 'may change' during this time. This includes the expected yearly price increase in April, a common practice among many companies, reports the Mirror. Earlier this year, a 6.2% rise was added to the cost of Sky's TV and broadband plans, which could suggest we'll see a similar change in April 2026. Nevertheless, Sky distinguishes itself by allowing consumers the chance to end their contracts early should a price increase be announced. Sky's latest promotional efforts rival Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle, which provides more than 200 channels and a 362Mbps fibre broadband connection at £34.99. Whilst this comes in just under Sky's price and promises around 60Mbps additional speed, it lacks Sky Atlantic and Netflix, which might turn some potential customers away. Amongst its competitors is the BT and EE Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300, currently marketed at £48.99 per month for the initial six months but eventually exceeding £600 more across the length of the plan as it reverts to the regular £63.99. Sky customers have shared their positive experiences of the company on Trustpilot, where one glowing review said: "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." This review offered a more mixed review, saying: "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 it took a lot of work." But this happy customer said: "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 changed to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."

Holly Willoughby dealt major 'blow' as huge show is axed by Netflix
Netflix's Celebrity Bear Hunt, fronted by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls, launched earlier this year and featured celebrity contestants like Big Zuu, Shirley Ballas and Mel B Holly Willoughby's huge Netflix show, Celebrity Bear Hunt, is said to have been axed, just months after it was launched. It comes just weeks after Bear Grylls proposed a major format change for the series. Celebrity Bear Hunt, which launched on Netflix in February, saw twelve celebrities hunted down by Bear, 50, whilst out in a jungle in Costa Rica. Described as a "brutal game of cat and mouse," the eight-part series was fronted by Holly, 44. The show was met with praise from some viewers following its release on the streaming platform four months ago. Fans expressed hope for a second season at the time, and Bear recently teased over the prospect himself just last month. It's now claimed that Netflix has "axed" Celebrity Bear Hunt. According to sources have said that although it did well in terms of ratings, it was expensive to produce. A source told The Sun that everybody on the show was "absolutely gutted." They added: "But the overall cost of travel, insurance and, of course, securing big-name talent proved too dear - it was completely untenable even after they looked at filming closer to home, and making more of a budget show. "It is no slight on Holly or Bear either and execs are now trying to find another formula for them to showcase their talents." They went on to add: "Naturally, it's a real blow to Holly as it's the latest show to have time called, but she's a professional and knows that sometimes this is how it goes. "She's got a number of other exciting projects in the pipeline; that's showbiz, after all." It, however, comes just weeks after Bear, who was also an executive producer on the show, hinted that a second season could undergo a format change in line with Netflix's apparent focus on live content. He was asked about the show's future by Dermot O'Leary on BBC Radio 2 on May 17. In an interview that morning, Bear teased that those behind the show were "figuring" out its future following the launch. He suggested that Celebrity Bear Hunt could return as a live show for Netflix and expressed hope over the prospect. Asked if he will get to do "more" of the show, Bear said at the time: "Yeah, god willing. We're just sort of figuring all that out at the moment. We're thinking about doing ..." He continued: "Well, we're hopefully going to be doing it live!" Further teasing over the prospect, he added on the radio show three weeks ago: "Which Netflix has never done before. It'd be super cool. Raw, real, hunt 'em down!" The debut season of Celebrity Bear Hunt featured twelve celebrity contestants, with most of them eliminated throughout the series as part of the competition. They included Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas and the Spice Girls ' Mel B. Rapper Big Zuu won the show, with the TV personality named the winner in the eighth episode. Presenter Steph McGovern and singer Una Healy, who rose to fame in the Saturdays, were runners-up.
