Sky's 'lowest price' TV and broadband package returns
The package deal includes access to Sky Broadband, Sky Stream, Netflix and more Households on the hunt for a new broadband deal to boost their home entertainment experience are in luck, as Sky has reintroduced its 'lowest price' offer on one of its most sought-after packages. The Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 Broadband combo offers access to Sky Broadband and a range of telly channels and apps, including Sky Stream, Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+. The Sky package is priced at £35 per month with no upfront costs and is available to new customers. However, it's worth bearing in mind that Sky has stated prices may fluctuate during the 24-month contract. When purchased separately, the Sky Essentials TV package costs £15 per month, while the Full Fibre 150 Broadband is priced at £28 a month. This means combo shoppers can save £8 a month - a total saving of £192 compared to purchasing the two individually. Sky's Full Fibre 150 Broadband, ideal for HD streaming, online gaming and video calling, boasts an average speed of 150 Mb/s. Touted as 'the future of broadband', Full Fibre is being rolled out across the UK, as reported by the Express. Unlike traditional broadband, Full Fibre is powered by a fibre cable direct to individual homes, promising a 'faster and more reliable connection'. The Essentials TV plan includes a standard Netflix account (ad-supported) which costs £5.99 and Discovery+ Basic that is normally £3.99. Totalling £9.98, the additional perks in the £35 monthly Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 Broadband package effectively come to £25.02. Sky isn't alone in offering Netflix as part of its TV bundles; EE also offers the streaming service in its broadband and TV package, albeit at a steeper cost. Customers with other providers aren't left out, as both Virgin Media and NOW TV provide access to some Sky channels through paid extras. Sky subscribers have voiced their opinions on Trustpilot, highlighting grievances, particularly about unexpected price hikes during a contract period. An unimpressed customer remarked: "How can Sky just increase my TV package by £6.50 per month when I'm in a contract. I wouldn't mind an inflation rise, but not when it's at this level." It's worth keeping in mind that Sky's Essential TV package doesn't offer the most value when it comes to TV streaming, with the Ultimate TV deal costing £22 a month providing access to over 35 extra channels when compared to the Essential TV option, but it doesn't include broadband. Households that don't require all of these channels and want Full Fibre Broadband can't go wrong with the Essential TV & Full Fibre 150 Broadband package.

Sky Broadband deal beats BT and Virgin Media for this exact internet speed
Sky Broadband deal beats BT and Virgin Media for this exact internet speed Sky has made its best-selling broadband package even cheaper, meaning you can now snap up Full Fibre 150 Broadband for just £26 a month. But you'll need to be quick to take advantage of it Sky is still running its broadband sale (Image: PA ) Sky has slashed the price of its top-selling broadband package, Full Fibre 150 Broadband, to £26 a month. This deal comes with no upfront costs and is tied to a 24-month contract. The key feature of Sky's Full Fibre is that it delivers fibre directly to your home. However, you'll need to check if you're eligible for this fantastic offer from Sky. At £26 a month, it's significantly cheaper than BT's Full Fibre 100 package, which would set you back over £160 more over a two-year contract.

Sky's Full Fibre 150 provides impressive broadband speeds, allowing you to download a film in less than two minutes and offering ample bandwidth for all your connected devices. This is ideal if multiple people are streaming 4K films or gaming in your household, reports the Express. Netflix recommends a speed of 15Mbps or higher for streaming 4K content, so this broadband package from Sky ensures you have plenty of speed to enjoy the highest quality streaming content. Sky's flash sale could save you money on broadband (Image: (Image: Sky) ) But that's not all Sky is offering: the company also has deals on its Broadband and TV packages. While the Sky Broadband deal offers great savings, bundling the broadband with a TV package gives you access to a wealth of content through Sky Stream, including Netflix. The Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 Broadband package offers a speedy internet connection, the Sky Stream puck, and access to channels such as Sky Atlantic, Netflix, Discovery and more. The TV part of this bundle is priced at £15 alone, so you're effectively getting Sky Broadband for just £20 a month, which is a bargain. However, these prices are tied to 24-month contracts, and Sky has stated that there will be price increases during the contract, but hasn't specified by how much. Sky isn't your only option for full fibre. You can get M125 Virgin Broadband at the same price from £25.99 a month, but this only gives you 132Mbps compared to the 150Mbps from Sky. Article continues below It's worth exploring the options to see which suits you better. Virgin Media does state that it will increase to £29.49 a month from April 2026, but it's only an 18-month contract, so you're not tied in for as long as you would be with Sky Broadband. If you think it's all too expensive, Sky Broadband offers a 75Mbps service (Full Fibre 75), but this is £25 a month, so only £1 cheaper for half the speed, so not worth the downgrade.
