Sky has launched a new sale on its Essential TV and 300Mbps broadband combo package, now priced at just £35 per month. This deal also offers eligible customers up to £300 in switching credit to cover exit fees from their current provider, provided receipts are submitted within 90 days.
What the Package Includes
The package includes Sky Essential TV with the Sky Stream puck, which eliminates the need for a satellite dish and connects directly to your TV. It provides access to Netflix, Discovery+, hundreds of Sky channels, Prime Video, and Apple TV. The broadband offers 300Mbps speeds, ideal for busy households. There are no setup fees, which typically cost £19.95.
Price Breakdown
Comparing to Sky's own 150Mbps broadband-only package at £23 per month, the £35 combo effectively prices Essential TV at just £12 per month. This is a significant saving, as the standalone Essential TV package costs £15 per month. The 24-month contract includes annual price increases in line with inflation, as noted in the terms and conditions.
How It Compares to Rivals
Virgin Media offers a similar bundle with 362Mbps broadband and Sky TV for £32.99 per month but does not provide switching credit. EE's summer deal includes NOW Entertainment and HBO Max for £1 per month for the first six months, which undercuts Sky's Ultimate TV plan at £24 per month.
Customer Feedback
Sky holds a 2.7-star rating on Trustpilot. Positive reviews highlight excellent customer service and affordable bundles. One customer said, "Can't fault Sky at all - especially their team in this store. Found a great TV and broadband package (much more affordable than Virgin Media)." Another noted, "TV, everyone at Sky TV always gives the best advice, always gives me the best deals... Puck and the broadband are so fast and reliable." However, some users reported slow remote responsiveness and navigation issues.
Conclusion
This Sky deal is compelling for households seeking strong Wi-Fi and comprehensive TV content, especially with the World Cup approaching. The £300 switching credit adds extra value for those leaving other providers.
