We've blagged Sky newbies (those who haven't been with Sky broadband, TV or talk in the last 12 months) a cracking deal via this specific Sky line rent & broadband* link. It's a year's contract and the key is half-price line rental and 'free' unlimited up-to-17Mb speed broadband. Plus, we've blagged £50 bill credit, which covers almost six months' line rental.
Here's how to get it:
Get a code NOW: There are only 15,000 codes, apply via this Sky link* and you'll be sent an email with your code (one per home, not transferable, pls only get one if you'll use it). Once you've got a code, from 10am Fri 10 JuneSky will send you an email with a bespoke link you can use to sign up. You'll have until11.59pm Thu 16 June.Card verification.You'll pay £5 to verify your card when ordering - it's refunded later.Half-price line rental. It's £17.40 a month, so you pay half that, £8.70/mth (so £104.40/yr). If Sky increases line rental (as most firms do regularly), you'll then pay half the new amount.Unlimited broadband 'free' for 12 months. It's unlimited up-to-17Mb speed. You also get a 'free' compulsory router, but there's £6.95 p&p added to your first bill. After the 12-month contract ends, broadband's £10/mth if you stay.We've blagged you £50 bill credit. It'll be added to your account once your bill's active. Actually you'll have £55 credit (the £50 plus the refundable £5). The first £6.95 pays router delivery, the rest is used up on line rental and calls, until it's gone, meaning you won't shell out for up to six months
If you add up the line rental, broadband and router p&p, the total over the 12-month contract is £111.35 (at current prices, before calls). But, after the £50 bill credit, it's £61.35 for the year, equiv £5.11/mth before calls.
- What about calls? None are included. Call costs are a bit more than BT to landlines but a bit less to mobiles (11.5p/min to landlines and mobiles, 16.9p connection-fee). Sky also has an unbilled calls credit limit – see below for info.
- Need a new line? If you don't have a line, or you're switching from cable, you'll need to pay £20 for a new line. There's a chance that you'll still need to pay if you do have a BT line (see full information below for why) though if this is the case, you'll be told on sign up.
- Direct debit is the only way to pay. You won't be able to get this deal otherwise.

I used to pay £90 a month and the internet was good , hardly ever had a problem.
Signed up to this deal last year and the internet has been horrendous, drops out several times a day. Can't watch streamed movies as it's guaranteed to lose connection at least once during the film.
Speeds as low as 0.04mbps, upload 0.01. That was not an isolated incident either. Would never sign up with them again, would rather pay alot more to get decent broadband.

signed up as deal coming to an end and thinking of ditching sky and sticking to streaming
If say the problems arise that darzen describe then surely that would be grounds to terminate though so nothing ventured nothing gained

Great deal, not quite as good as the same deal from last year with £100 credit, but still better than pretty much anything else out there!
Does anyone know if you can just add one of the calls packages on top?

Yeah I don't see why not. I took the deal last year with the £100 credit and added a calls package no problem. Just means you burn through the credit quicker :smiley:

Broadband with Sky had been great,no issues at all. Good speed at my address,they do seem to cap the 'upto' 17mb at about 10mb at my place. It did go up,but for 'stability' it was lowered to 10. Still great tho.

Have you contacted their usually-excellent Broadband Support? Because presumably there must be a fault on your line externally or internally for this to occur. I personally have had "free" Sky Broadband for 7 years at least and it has worked flawlessly throughout EXCEPT when a genuine fault has developed (e.g. high winds causing damage to line), in which case they have resolved rapidly.
Not even thought about Fibre from them, get 13mbps DL consistently with "normal" broadband and can't think of a reason to upgrade... bearing in mind first ADSL was 0.5mbps... and that was from 0.03mpb dial-up... somehow the 3x increase in headline speed for Fibre doesn't seem worth it given the first two major upgrades were 20x faster approx.!
