All hail the return of Sky’s cheapest broadband deal
Sky’s Superfast package is now just £25 in the summer sale
Sky’s summer sale has seen the price of its Superfast 35 fibre broadband slashed to just £25 per month for 18 months. The cheapest of Sky’s reliable broadband packages boasts impressive average download speeds of 36Mbits/sec and upload speeds of 9Mbits/sec.
It’s a fantastic option for smaller households whose main modus operandi is streaming content and browsing the web. Plus, £25 per month is an excellent deal for Sky’s premium services; we’ve long hailed Sky broadband for its reliability (a must for the WFH years) and impressive customer support, awarding it a commendable four stars in our full-length Sky Broadband review here. In fact, our one main bugbear is that the service can grow expensive after the contract ends, but with a whopping year and a half at £25 per month, this quibble becomes significantly less pressing.
Now for the small print. The £25 fibre broadband package includes Sky Talk Pay As You Go, but you’ll need to pay a £19.95 setup fee. Meanwhile, if Ultra HD streaming and gaming is your thing, you might be better served by the Ultrafast package, which rings in at just £32 per month for 18 months, with average download speeds of a whopping 145MBits/sec and corresponding upload speeds of 27Mbits/sec.
For the busiest homes, whether you’re housing online shoppers, gamers, streamers or an entire YouTube content farm, Sky’s extraordinarily fast Gigafast broadband is your best bet. For £55 per month for 18 months – not negligible by any means – you’ll get average download speeds of an eye-watering 900Mbits/sec. Upload speeds, meanwhile, measure up at a phenomenal average of 90MBits/sec. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to soft launch your YouTube channel, now’s the time…
When it comes to reliability, Sky is an industry leader, with the practices to back it up. Sky conducts daily line checks to ensure your broadband connection is working swimmingly, and if not they’ll send you a text with a status update on repairs. A speed guarantee is in place, promising you the speed you were advertised or your money back. Plus, Sky Broadband Boost which can be added to your package for just £5 per month, guarantees wifi in every room of your home or your money back.
With Sky’s lowest price for Superfast 35 broadband making a welcome – and temporary – return in its Super Sale this summer, now’s the time to invest in one of the most reliable services on the scene.
