Sky is rounding off its spring sale by upping the price of broadband and TV packages, but there’s still time to bag a bargain before they revert to their usual pricing
Sky has officially announced when its broadband prices for new customers will increase as a series of cost-cutting deals end soon. Over the past month, Sky has been reducing the price of its broadband and TV packages, but most of these offers have now returned to their normal pricing.
Despite this, Sky continues to offer some attractive discounts on its fibre broadband contracts in several ‘digital exclusive price’ deals, boasting speeds up to a whopping 900Mbps on certain plans. These ‘exclusive’ prices currently range from £25 per month for Full Fibre 75 to £42 for Full Fibre Gigafast – Sky’s quickest broadband.
A solid mid-range option is Sky’s Full Fibre 500, which is now priced at £31 – a monthly saving of £13.50 compared to the standard price of £43.50. However, Sky has confirmed that these deals are set to end on Wednesday, May 28, with prices due to rise after this date.

For those considering a switch, bundling broadband with a TV subscription often provides better value, so it’s worth considering Sky’s offerings. After ending its spring sale, Sky brought back a popular TV, Netflix and broadband package, announcing ‘our lowest price is back’.
The Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 bundle has returned to £35 per month and includes more than 100 channels, including Sky Atlantic. There’s also free access to Netflix and Discovery+, with an additional 35 channels available when upgrading to Ultimate TV for an extra £4, reports Wales Online.

Sky has launched three ‘exclusive’ fibre broadband deals, with speeds ranging from 75Mbps to 900Mbps.
Sky’s TV goes head to head with Virgin Media’s Bigger Combo bundle, though there are some notable differences between each package. Virgin’s deal includes more than 200 TV channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99 per month, but it doesn’t include Sky Atlantic, Netflix or Discovery+.
Sky Atlantic is included with BT and EE’s NOW Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, but this comes with a heftier price tag of £51.99 per month. However, those sticking with Sky can take advantage of the provider’s new Sky Stream device, which delivers TV and streaming services via WiFi rather than a traditional satellite dish.
Moreover, the One Touch Switch scheme means Sky will deal with an existing broadband provider to handle the switch on behalf of the customer. Many Sky customers have been voicing their experiences of the brand on Trustpilot, with some praising it as ‘outstanding’.
One glowing five-star review says: “Outstanding. Service is up and running smoothly. The quality of service is excellent, really fast, and I am delighted that I chose Sky broadband and TV.”
Another says: “I have Full Fibre 150. Zero problems. Live sport doesn’t lag, and it’s a good price at under £30. Installation was perfect.”
A third customer says: “Great experience from the minute I signed up. It was super easy to sign up online and at a competitive price. The equipment was delivered quickly and when I had an issue with a missing parcel, customer services went above and beyond to try and get me a replacement.”
However, one reviewer added: “Like most broadband companies, the speed can be a bit up and down, but on the whole it’s a good service.”
