Sky pay day deal cuts TV, Netflix and fibre broadband back to its 'lowest price' ever
Sky has brought back a popular deal from its Easter sale offering a TV, Netflix and broadband bundle for a record low price to rival Virgin Media and BT Sky has launched a flash pay day sale that's dropped a popular TV and broadband bundle back to its 'lowest price' ever. The provider has just brought back a popular deal from its Easter sale that offers the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband package for £35 per month and also includes 300Mbps fibre broadband for the cost of 150Mbps. Sky said 'our lowest ever price is back' as it unveiled the new round of deals, which have also seen the Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle – which includes more than 35 extra channels – reduced to £39. Sky's Full Fibre 300 usually comes in at £29 per month without any TV access, but the current deals also include more than 100 channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports News, and free-to-air channels like BBC, ITV and Channel 4. Both plans also come with free subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+, with the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports to the package for an £10 and £20 respectively. All of this is accessible via Sky Stream, the brand's latest device that delivers TV and streaming services through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish. Sky has recently introduced the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to make the switch. In a move to simplify customer transitions, Sky has taken on the responsibility of contacting customers' previous providers, reports the Mirror. It's important to note that Sky's TV and broadband packages are tied to 24-month plans, with the company indicating that its prices 'may change' during the minimum term. This year, Sky's TV and broadband prices went up by 6.2%, hinting at the possibility of a comparable hike next April. Notably, Sky is among the few providers offering subscribers the option to exit their contracts early if a price hike is announced. Sky's TV and broadband deals offer stuff competition for Virgin Media's Bigger Combo bundle, which delivers more than 200 TV channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99 a month, but lacks access to Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+. Sky also beats BT and EE's comparable Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which is on offer at £48.99 per month for six months. Even with this discount, the plan is more than £600 more expensive over the 24-month term once the price reverts to the usual £63.99 rate. Sky members have been singing praises for the brand on Trustpilot, where 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 though the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions." This customer left a 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 took a lot of work." But another 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 did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."

Sky's cheapest ever TV, Netflix and broadband deal is back
Sky has once again cut the price of its Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband to a record low to rival Virgin Media and BT Sky has brought back a popular TV and broadband bundle that's seen prices drop to their 'lowest ever' in a surprise pay day deal. Just weeks after calling time on its Easter sale, Sky has once again reduced 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 has also seen the Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle – which includes more than 35 extra channels – drop to £39. Sky's Full Fibre 300 usually costs £29 per month without any TV access, but the latest deals also provide 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 extra £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 introduce the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to complete the switch. With this, Sky will do the necessary leg work on behalf of the customer, reports the Express. It's also worth noting that to secure the cheaper prices, you'll need to commit to a 24-month plan, while Sky states the price of its TV and broadband plans 'may change' during this period. This includes the annual price hike in April implemented by many firms each year. Earlier this year, Sky announced a 6.2% increase to its TV and broadband prices, so we may expect a similar rise in April 2026. Despite this, Sky stands out by giving customers the option to terminate their contract early should a price rise be announced. Sky's new round of deals puts it head to head with Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle, which offers more than 200 channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99. Although this is a penny cheaper than Sky and around 60Mbps faster, Virgin does not offer Sky Atlantic or Netflix, which could be a deal-breaker for some. Another rival is BT and EE's Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which is on offer at £48.99 per month for six months but ends up costing more than £600 extra over the contract term once it reverts to the standard £63.99 rate. Sky customers have been posting their positive experiences of the brand 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." However, this less-impressed customer said: "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." Another consumer 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 did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."

Sky's Ultimate TV and broadband deal for only £39 ends tomorrow
The deal includes Sky Unlimited TV as well as a Netflix subscription. When on the search for a new broadband deal it is important to consider bundle deals that could also end up enhancing your TV viewing experience. For the past few weeks Sky has been running its spring sale to help out households amid price rises, but these massive deals come to an end tomorrow. One of the best deals from the provider is on the Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle. Now available for only £39 per month, users will have access to Sky's Ultimate TV package. This package offers the features of the Essential TV deal as well as extra premium channels and a Netflix Subscription. If this looks like an appealing deal for Brits, households will need to be quick as this cracking reduction will finish up this week. Currently under red banners that state 'offer ends tomorrow', Sky's 'lowest ever price' will end on Wednesday, May 14 at 11:59pm. The Ultimate Bundle Deal gives users access to over 140 live channels - including Sky Max, Sky Atlantic, Sky Witness, National Geographic and MTV. On top of this, Brits will gain a Netflix subscription, but it should be noted that this is the standard edition that comes with ads. Also included in the package is a Sky Stream Box for TV connection, reports the Mirror. Streaming your favourite show is accessed through the accompanying broadband instead of a satellite dish for added convenience. Additionally, the broadband is able to deliver speeds of 300mb/s, so users can completely delve themselves into a new show or movie without the fear that it will start buffering halfway through. Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle £39 per month Sky Buy Now Product Description In comparison to Virgin Media's Bigger Combo bundle - which is £34.99 a month - Sky's Ultimate deal is slightly more expensive. However, Virgin Media is currently not available for all households and depends on your postcode, which may make the Sky deal more appealing. On the flip side, Sky's contract deal is longer at 24 months, while users of Virgin Media's deal will only be under contract for 18 months. This longer contract could be a negative for some potential shoppers. Other broadband providers are also trying to entice shoppers by providing cashback offers. One of the most notable is from EE who is offering shoppers up to £300 back with their offer. This money is meant to make switching providers easier. EE states: "Not only is switching easy, but if you leave your existing provider early, we'll give you up to £300 towards any leaving charges." Sky itself has received mixed reviews on Trustpilot, whether that be about the Sky Stream device or with the overall service they received. One happy customer 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." However, another shopper wasn't as happy with the service, writing: "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." Tech deal of the week Looking to bag a pair of wireless headphones, but don't want to pay out for Apple's AirPods?

Sky issues final warning as cheapest ever TV, Netflix, and broadband deal ends this week
Sky is counting down to the end of its spring sale as a popular TV and broadband deal is set to expire this week. Last month, the provider dropped its popular Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle to the 'lowest ever price' of £35 per month. Sky has also doubled the broadband speeds on the plan, offering 300Mbps for the price of 150Mbps. However, Sky has now posted a countdown on its website confirming the deal will end at 11.59pm on Wednesday, May 14. Sky's Full Fibre 300 usually costs £29 per month without any TV access, but the current deal includes more than 100 channels such as Sky Atlantic – home to The Last of Us and The White Lotus – with free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions. It also provides free-to-air channels like BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and many more. This offer rivals Virgin Media's Bigger Combo bundle, which includes more than 200 channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99. Although this is a penny cheaper than Sky, it offers around 60Mbps faster broadband and includes more than 100 extra channels, there are two key selling points of the Sky deal that Virgin can't beat. The Virgin plan does not include Sky Atlantic or Netflix, which could be a deal-breaker for those keen to watch hit shows like The Last of Us or the return of Squid Game and Stranger Things. Another contender is BT and EE's NOW Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which does include Sky Atlantic and Netflix but will set shoppers back £51.99 per month. Sky is also offering customers the opportunity to upgrade to its new Ultimate TV bundle, which includes more than 35 additional channels including Sky Showcase, Sky Crime, Sky Documentaries and Sky Comedy, for an extra £4 per month. There's also the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports to for an additional £10 and £20 respectively, reports the Mirror. These services can be accessed through Sky Stream, the brand's latest device that provides TV and streaming services via WiFi, eliminating the need for a traditional satellite dish. What's more, new customers can benefit from Sky's One Touch Switch scheme, which means they don't have to contact their current broadband provider to switch. To simplify the process, Sky will directly contact the existing provider to manage the switch. However, shoppers should note that to get Sky's TV and broadband plans run on a 24-month contract, with Sky stating its prices 'may change' during this period. Earlier this year, Sky introduced a 6.2% increase in its TV and broadband costs, suggesting a similar rise could occur in April 2026. Despite this, Sky differentiates itself by allowing customers the option to terminate their contract early if a price rise is announced. Sky has earned many positive reviews from its customers on Trustpilot, where one says: "Sky Stream is a game changer. Switched a few weeks back and it's the best decision I've ever made.

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."
