As April price hikes fall this week, Sky has taken 120 off the price of its popular TV and broadband plans – but there’s still a catch
This month UK consumers face rising bills as a number of providers, utilities, and services up their prices to fit in line with inflation. From tomorrow Tuesday, April, 1 bills will start to change, leaving households on the look for something cheaper. If that’s you, we’ve spotted Sky’s latest price drop on a broadband and TV combo bill.
Sky has reduced the price of its Essential TV and Full Fibre 150 Broadband plan. Usually £40 per month, it’s now available to buy with a £5 monthly discount – at £35. When spread across the full plan it’s a £120 saving for households.
It’s a popular pick for those wanting to catch up on their favourite Netflix shows, watch Discovery+ and the usual free-to-air channels like BBC, ITV, and Sky News, with a full fibre internet package too. As usual, though, shoppers will have to commit to its fixed 24-month contract.

The plan combines its newest £15 Essential TV plan with the 150 Full Fibre broadband plan into one concise bill. It comes with more than 100 TV channels and free subscriptions to Netflix. A look at rivals, including Virgin Media, it’s one of the cheapest TV, broadband, and Netflix combo plans around.
This plan bundles in its new Essential TV (with more than 100 TV channels, Discovery+ and Netflix) with a 150 Full Fibre broadband plan into one concise bill.
The April 2025 hikes do not affect either pay-as-you-go streaming favourites like Netflix, Apple TV, or Disney+.
Virgin Media’s prices are a lot higher, starting at £78.99 per month, but that’s because the provider has packages with speedier 516Mbps and its Mega Volt Package with 1130Mbps speeds, there are fewer options for those on a tighter budget, or who need less internet speeds at home.
The rise in cost that billpayers face this April all depends on their provider and plan type and whether consumers are currently in contract or out of contract. Uswitch has a useful guide that explains all the details. You can also read our roundup for Virgin, Sky, EE and more.
In full transparency, we aren’t sharing this deal because it will avoid price hikes – unfortunately, this plan is subject to changes – but because the price of the plan is competitive among rivals and worth looking at if you’re shopping for a new bill. While new customers won’t face a hike this April 2025 and will lock in the cheaper £35 per month rate, Sky says the price ‘may change’ during the contract. Under the sale listing, it says: “Prices may change during this period. New Customers only.”
