Sky has cut the cost of its flagship TV and broadband package in a new deal that works out at £1.25 per day, but there’s only hours left to claim it.
Sky has issued a final warning to customers as its ‘lowest price’ ever TV and broadband deals are about to expire. Last month, the telecoms giant announced price cuts on several flagship packages including its Essential TV and 300Mbps Full Fibre Broadband for £35 per month.
Sky says this is the ‘lowest price’ ever offered and also includes double the broadband speed for the same price. However, customers only have until 11.59pm on Wednesday, October 15, to snap up the deal.
Anyone securing this deal before the deadline will enjoy more than 100 channels on Sky Stream and 300Mbps broadband speeds, along with free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions. However, customers can also upgrade to the Ultimate TV and 300Mbps Full Fibre Broadband for an extra £4 to access more than 35 additional channels, including Sky Showcase, Sky Documentaries and more.
This option works out at roughly £1.25 per day across a 31-day month. There’s also the chance to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports to each package for £10 and £20 respectively.
Each deal now comes with a 24-month contract to Sky Stream, the brand’s new way to watch TV that operates over WiFi. This eliminates the need for an aerial or satellite dish, but it’s worth noting that it requires a broadband connection to function, reports the Express.
Sky’s Essential TV and 300Mbps broadband bundle
Sky has cut the price of its Essential TV and 300Mbps fibre broadband bundle, but the deal expires on October 15.
Sky’s latest offers come hot on the heels of Virgin Media’s total revamp of its own TV and broadband packages, and while these are more expensive than Sky’s, customers do get more bang for their buck. Virgin’s new £36.99 Entertainment bundle now includes more than 200 channels, Netflix, and speedy 362Mbps fibre broadband.
However, it’s worth noting that Sky Atlantic isn’t part of this package. Plus, like many providers, Virgin hikes up its prices annually, with the Entertainment bundle set to jump to £40.99 from April 2026 and £44.99 from April 2027.
Sky also increases its prices but hasn’t yet revealed its 2026 rates, only stating that prices ‘may change’ during the 24-month term. Meanwhile, EE is tempting football fans with hundreds of Champions League and Europa League matches as part of its TNT Sports and fibre broadband deal, priced at £32.99 for six months, but this comes with slower 74Mbps speeds as standard.
For those opting for Sky, the Daily Express Technology Editor Dave Snelling tried the Sky Stream box for himself and gave it a glowing five-star rating. He said: “If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to watch live Sky TV channels, exclusive boxsets, streaming services, sports and movies, Sky Stream does not disappoint.
“Everything is beamed to your television in High Definition as standard, without a satellite dish drilled into your walls or engineers trudging through your home. Sky Stream arrives in the post with a step-by-step guide to get set-up and streaming in seconds.
“Even the biggest technophobe should cope with this simple DIY set-up: just plug it in, connect to your Wi-Fi, and the binge-watching begins. Once installed, you’ll be treated to a gorgeous new on-screen menu design that looks and makes navigating around your TV incredibly easy.
“However, there are still a few niggles with this new hardware. First up, while the menus look slick, the chipset inside Sky Stream can struggle with the flash graphics.
“At times, whizzing through the menus can begin to feel a little stuttery. While that starting price is incredibly appealing, optional extras like 4K Ultra HD picture quality, Sky Cinema and Sky Sports channels, and the £5 premium to skip adverts from catch-up services like ITVX and All4 all start to add up fast.
“The end of the satellite dish has never been closer, we just hope Sky irons out the final few quirks with its new Sky Stream box before it hammers the final nail into its coffin.”
