Sky giving free WiFi upgrade that will boost connection for millions of homes
It will ensure the most important gadgets in your home get the best download speeds If you're a Sky Broadband customer, you might be in for a treat when it comes to your internet connection. The UK Internet Service Provider (ISP) has announced a handy upgrade that will ensure your most-used devices get the fastest download speeds. The new feature, called Device Priority, does exactly what it claims: it prioritises certain phones, laptops, and tablets over other devices. In practical terms, this means that if you're on an important video call with the office, you can set your laptop to receive the best connection. So, even if the kids start downloading games on their PlayStation consoles, your video call won't start stuttering. "Whether it's wearable tech, home appliances, working from home, 4K streaming or gaming, by prioritising household devices, people can get the most out of their WiFi," Sky explained in an email to the Express. "Other devices will stay active, but the prioritised device will get the best performance." This upgrade is particularly useful, as Sky notes that people are now using more connected devices than ever at home, with the UK average standing at 21 smart devices per household. Many of these devices require large amounts of data to function optimally, and this system should help reduce conflicts and potentially even prevent a few arguments. So, who's eligible for this boost, and how can you activate it? It has been announced that customers with Sky's WiFi Max service can utilise Device Priority from today at no additional charge. If you're a WiFi Max user, you'll locate the settings in the MySky App. Once activated, you will have the ability to prioritise a device in your home for up to 8 hours. This new feature of Sky Broadband's WiFi Max joins other aspects of this service such as Sky's WiFi guarantee, advanced security, parental controls, convenient engineer visits, and Sky Mobile integration. Not got this perk? It can be added for a monthly fee of £4. Sky isn't only a major broadband and TV provider, it also stocks a wide array of tech gadgets, with many of these deals including free gifts for customers. Right now, Sky is giving a free Samsung tablet to people who do one thing. The UK mobile network is gifting customers a feature-rich Galaxy Tab A9+, valued at £259, absolutely free. You might be pondering what the catch is. Obviously, Sky isn't just handing out these devices without expecting something in return. To claim, all you need to do is purchase a Galaxy S25 smartphone on contract, and you'll receive the Tab A9+ as a bonus. Sky Mobile prices for this top-tier phone start from a mere £36 per month, which includes unlimited calls, texts and 3GB of data. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The Kamado-style ceramic BBQ in action – perfect for slow-smoked feasts and summer gatherings. | Wowcher This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. I'm a dad and this BBQ is the best Father's Day hint I can drop – it's ceramic, compact, and now 65% off in this Wowcher deal. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Let's cut to the chase – this article is not about what to buy your dad. It's about what to buy me. I'm a dad. I've done the socks, the whisky miniatures, the cards with dodgy drawings of superheroes. And look, I love it all. But if you're reading this and wondering how to truly make my Father's Day? It's this: fire, smoke, and steak – ideally controlled by a ceramic dome that looks like a dinosaur egg and turns me into a culinary god for the afternoon. I'm talking about the Kamado Egg Ceramic Charcoal BBQ Grill – and at just £69 instead of £199.99 right now via Wowcher, it's an absolute steal. Why do I want this exact BBQ? Because ceramic grills are the gold standard. They hold heat like nothing else, which means I can slow-cook ribs for hours or sear steaks to perfection without flare-ups or faff. This one even has a waterproof thermometer built in, so there's no excuse for burnt burgers. And while I may pretend it's 'for the family,' let's be honest – it's a 21kg excuse to be left alone with a beer, some charcoal, and the sound of sizzling meat. That's the dream. Father's Day is Sunday 15 June this year. BBQ Week runs until the 2nd. So really, this timing isn't just perfect – it's fate. Now, I'm not saying this is the only thing I want. But if one or two certain people cough cough click the link below and order it now, I'll fire it up by next weekend and act surprised when it arrives. No pressure. Just saying. 🔥 Free Samsung tablet?
