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.

7 Jun 16#4
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?
Spudboy
7 Jun 16#6
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.!

12 months half price line rental for 12 months. After 12 months standard Line Rental price applies, currently £17.40 a month. This offer is for new customers to Sky only incl. past customers who have not had Sky in the last 12 months. Customers can not be existing Sky TV customers. This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Customers who require a new line will need to pay £20 fee to cover the OpenReach engineer's visit.

took this up , last year with the 100 credit, which was a gr8 deal, coming to an end very soon.
I know this one says, only for newbies, but what are the chances I can get my other half to get this offer ( at the same address) - anyone done this / thinking about this?
Spudboy

I had thought the same, but surely when you enter the telephone number it will come up as an existing Sky customer? If anyone knows a work around (without having to get another line installed) I'm all ears! :-D

even with a new line ( at an extra 20.00), this seems to be a good deal, if you don't mind having to change your landline no.

...Once you've got a code, from 10am Fri 10 June Sky will email a bespoke link you can use to sign up
So cant see how you could get cashback too due to the special link you sign up from
The current deal at TCB isnt as good even taking into account the £100 M&S voucher & approx. £35 cashback
( plus I'd rather have half price line rental than £100 voucher that I'd have to sell on ebay )
this deal is also better as its all done by Sky & no unreliable third party cashback site to worry about
Washyh

10 Jun 161#54
Ok, so if you're already a Sky customer (still within contract from last year) then signing up for a new line is the only option. Therefore £61.35 + £20 = £81.35 for the year. Hmm...
bayhabourbutcher
10 Jun 16#55
I left them less than 12 months ago & tried to sign up in a relatives name to get the deal

I got error message, think it might be too busy just now. before it kicked me off I added Fibre which was half price for 6mths. so that would work out to £19.53 a month for 12mths I think. bt line rental alone is going to be £18.99.

How did you get to enter your name details when the first hurdle is checking for an existing line?

They are not a customer, but left less than 12 months ago. So don't have an existing line.
bayhabourbutcher
10 Jun 16#66
Im guessing there will be some sort of manual check at some poiunt so you might need a bit of luck with just mispelling own surname rather than using a different person
if you only have relatives with same surname then mispell their surname instead so you can keep things legit
Spudboy
10 Jun 16#67
Is the email link from SKY just a generic one or is it tailored to each individual ? If just a generic one could someone who has already received it post it here and we can enter our unique codes that way ?

bayhabourbutcher
10 Jun 161#77
my order seems OK so far & I used my relatives name with the forename & surname reversed (if the surname is the same the system considers you the same person & rejects the application)
as it happens Im actually set up to pay via everything credit card & not direct debit
also I used a virtual credit card from entropay.com - entropay do not provide the merchant with any personal details so I could probably have used any name I wanted
From what ive read sky do not seem to do a credit check since you 'pay in advance' so it looks like there is fairly limited identify checking hapening

I was a Sky customer two years ago 2013/2014 but when I try to use this offer it tells me to log into my account. My husband took out a similar offer last year and is due to expire so I thought I could apply as I haven't been a customer since 2014.
My husband has a different surname to me so I thought it should have worked Has anyone else has had this problem. And what's the way round it

if you upgrade to the fibre its 18mth contract meaning you will pay full price for line rental and fibre for 6months after the 12months deal is up. I was going to do it until I found that out.

How is it an 18 month contract? Looking on the Sky website it is 12 months?

my mistake;
ok its £5pm for 12m then £10pm for 6m for sky fibre(25gb limit) =18mnth. so after 12m goes upto full price line rental for the remaining 6months.
its £10pm for 6m then £20pm for 6m for sky fibre unlimited. =12months.

Firstly thanks to op for posting this deal, ordered Earley today and everything sorted within half an hour including the £50 credit added to the account.
Secondly I've paid the £20 extra for the better modem (Sky Q hub) - anyone else chose this option?

Thank you OP.
Just signed up after switching from Plusnet who had a good initial offer but now out of contract couldn't match this.
I had Sky b/b before when they took over O2 broadband and to be honest I had more buffering problems with Plusnet.

I didn't see that option.
Is it considerably better?

In virtually all respects yes (less wired ports though).

All sorted. Although, the deadline was 10th June, they were still sending out codes until yesterday.

The reviews seem to rate it - only negative seems to be that it only has 2 ethernet ports (as stated by another Hottdeals member) but they are gigabit ports not the 100/10 as on standard router.

The SR101/2 are really very poor in terms of wireless range - the Q hub will be way better - if you really need extra wired clients then just connect a cheap as chips (gigabit) router to the hub (about 10-15 quid).

Just an update - had asked for a start date of July 8th, but was given 4th of Aug - even though - it was confirmed that they don't have to sent an "engineer" to switch the Landline - as there is an active one already here.
called CS, been told that - I need to cancel my original order and then re-order, and when asked, was told they are happy to ( well not really) to transfer all the deal agreed to the new order - waiting to get that in writing. that way my start date could be ard 8th of July
hope this info is of some help to people in my similar position ( who needed BB any earlier, before Aug 2016)

Up and running yesterday. Everything seems to be working fine, but Im only getting 6 mb when i did a download test. Although their chat did say min. of 8mb.
I wonder does it start increasing after a few days?

Yes, they will be testing the line capabilities for an initial period until they find the best balance between performance and stability

Opening post
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.

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.
If say the problems arise that darzen describe then surely that would be grounds to terminate though so nothing ventured nothing gained
Does anyone know if you can just add one of the calls packages on top?
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.!
Apologies if I missed it. I'm listening to Cameron talking rubbish. :smiley:
We've blagged Sky newbies (those who haven't been with Sky broadband, TV or talk in the last 12 months)
Good deal if I wasn't about to switch to Plusnet I would've probably gone for this.
When you click on the link and it directs you to the sky offer page I can't see where it says new customer's?
Ah well in a few days I have the fun task of phoning them to try and get some kind of deal. :disappointed:
I know this one says, only for newbies, but what are the chances I can get my other half to get this offer ( at the same address) - anyone done this / thinking about this?
So cant see how you could get cashback too due to the special link you sign up from
The current deal at TCB isnt as good even taking into account the £100 M&S voucher & approx. £35 cashback
( plus I'd rather have half price line rental than £100 voucher that I'd have to sell on ebay )
this deal is also better as its all done by Sky & no unreliable third party cashback site to worry about
Shame you can not use both deals as I am currently looking for the best deal for broadband plus variety pack.
Couldn't choose a later date although i would have like too!
it didnt work
I get a 'Customer status check' page saying :

So using another persons details at the same address doesnt seem to work
Let me know how you get on. :smiley:
If I can't get a cheap deal with Sky I'll be going back to Virgin.
if you only have relatives with same surname then mispell their surname instead so you can keep things legit
Sorry I'm just getting impatient waiting ! Lol
unfortunately , we have not heen able to proceed with your order..
Is that error message coming for anyone?
It's ok - I used this one.... http://www.sky.com/shop/offercode hope it helps others too ! :smiley:
as it happens Im actually set up to pay via everything credit card & not direct debit
also I used a virtual credit card from entropay.com - entropay do not provide the merchant with any personal details so I could probably have used any name I wanted
From what ive read sky do not seem to do a credit check since you 'pay in advance' so it looks like there is fairly limited identify checking hapening
That's what we did
My husband has a different surname to me so I thought it should have worked Has anyone else has had this problem. And what's the way round it
The signs of our time I guess?, lol.
Because i have 2 months left of my current contract with bt
208-167..just 41
Think I can give notice of my current sky account at the beginning of July so hopefully It just overlaps and no more . Obviously using a slightly different name to gain account :smiley: ?
I'm currently with Plusnet. Do I need to get a migration code/MAC code from them or let them know i'm leaving before applying for this SKY deal?
TIA
SP
been using fast 4G mobile data (via those HUKD favorite EE 100gb sims) so going to have to get used to slower non fibre landline data speeds again
deal has gone thru fine with my family relative as the account holder & paying bill via credit card & not DD as was incorrectly mentioned as mandatory on the MSE website
ok its £5pm for 12m then £10pm for 6m for sky fibre(25gb limit) =18mnth. so after 12m goes upto full price line rental for the remaining 6months.
its £10pm for 6m then £20pm for 6m for sky fibre unlimited. =12months.
Secondly I've paid the £20 extra for the better modem (Sky Q hub) - anyone else chose this option?
