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."

Vandersloot is a legendary figure in the franchise's history, and she is contributing a solid 11.4 points and 6.0 assists this season for Chicago. Her voice is held in high regard, and coach Marsh himself acknowledged just how special of a player Cardoso can be.

'Learning how to be that nightly is part of being a pro and it's part of understanding what her talent is and what her potential is. We just want to put her in positions where she's able to do that and see that so it can be a regular thing.' The Sky will face the Wings once again on Saturday evening, as they travel to Dallas for an 8:00 p.m. EST tipoff. Chicago will look to put together a winning streak for the first time in the 2025 WNBA season.

"It's like my momma named me so perfect because she knew this moment would come!! LOVE LOVE LOVE," she finished. Reese Won Defensive Player Of The Year In Unrivaled UNRIVALED During the WNBA's off-season, Reese, along with several other league players, participated in a new 3x3 league called Unrivaled.

Reese's team, ROSE BC, won the league's first-ever championship title, and she was awarded the title of "Defensive Player of the Year." She earned the honor after receiving "the most combined weighted votes from Unrivaled players and coaches, as well as a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters." The walking double-double, who led the league in rebounds (averaging 12.1 per game) and led her team in blocked shots, certainly made an impact. "Reese was the anchor all season for the best scoring defense in Unrivaled, allowing 65.2 points per game," the release stated.
