Sky urges Brits to act fast as 'lowest price' TV, Netflix and broadband sale ends today
Sky shoppers are being urged to act fast to avoid missing out on its latest round of TV and broadband deals. The provider recently brought back a popular TV and broadband bundle that's seen prices return to their 'lowest ever', with the Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle back to £35 per month and offering 300Mbps fibre broadband for the price of 150Mbps.
However, Sky has now posted a warning on its website confirming the deal ends at 11.59pm today (June 18). Also coming to an end is the reduced Ultimate TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband bundle, which provides more than 35 extra channels for £39.
Usually, Sky's Full Fibre 300 costs £29 per month without any TV access, but the latest deals also grant 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 additional £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 roll out the new One Touch Switch scheme, which means customers don't have to contact their existing broadband provider to complete the switch as Sky will do the legwork, reports the Mirror.
To secure the lower prices, customers are required to agree to a 24-month plan. Sky states that the cost of its TV and broadband plans 'may change' during this term, which traditionally includes an annual price increase in April common among many firms.
Sky earlier this year announced a hike of 6.2% in its TV and broadband service charges, making it probable that a similar rise could occur in April 2026. Nonetheless, Sky distinguishes itself by allowing users to end their contracts early if a price rise is announced.
Sky's latest deals are competing directly with Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle, offering more than 200 channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99. While this is one penny less than Sky and roughly 60Mbps faster, it lacks access to Sky Atlantic or Netflix, which may be essential for some users.
Competition also comes from BT and EE's Big Entertainment and Full Fibre 300 plan, which starts at £48.99 per month for the first six months before it jumps to the standard rate of £63.99, eventually costing more than £600 extra compared to Sky. In terms of user feedback, Sky customers have been sharing their positive experiences on Trustpilot.
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 the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions."
One less enthusiastic member says: "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."
While another happy customer says: "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."
