Until Thu 29 Sep, 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 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 up to five months' line rental.
Get a code NOW: There are 29,000 codes, You can sign up once you've applied via this Sky link*. you'll also be sent an email with your code and unique link for sign up (one per home, not transferable). You have until 11.59pm Thu 29 Sep 2016.
How it works...
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 during the contract (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. After the 12-month contract ends, broadband's £10/mth if you stay.
We've blagged you £50 bill credit. It's added to your account once your bill's active. The first £9.95 pays for the 'free' compulsory router delivery, the rest will be used up on line rental and calls until it's gone, so you won't shell out for up to five months.
Card verification & refund. You pay £5 to verify your card when ordering but it's added to your bill credit.
- How cheap is this all-in? If you add up the line rental, broadband and router p&p, the total over the 12-month contract is £114.35 (at current prices, before calls). But, after the £50 bill credit, it's £64.35 for the year, so it's equiv £5.36/mth before calls.
- What about calls? Calls 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. However, if you have a BT line but pay another provider to use it, or you pay BT for your phone line, you may still have to pay the fee (see below).
- Direct debit is the only way to pay. You won't be able to get this deal otherwise.

What a myriad of nonsense and figures. Do this, do that, the line rental is this but then you get that. Then cashback makes it cheaper, but add that and minus something else.
Presumably this all adds up though and might be a good deal?

Haha
I'm happy with my £10 a month retention deal I got however if I was a new customer I would try and understand the deal but does seem a tad confusing but tbh cba reading it properly as I don't need it.

so if I go for the sky fibre unlimited option, it will cost me £120 more for the year? hows sky fibre service? not sure which option to go for really? we do a lot of streaming at my house so the fact that its unlimited is a bonus but not sure what kind of speed I can realistically get in my area/road?
any place I can check actual download speeds on a particular road/area?

I just use their router for the actual connection and then feed off that to my own router. Yes I have to port forward twice but not a real problem.

MSE is owned by Moneysupermarket,i guess they aren't doing it without making something out of it,after all they are a business not a charity,it's a bit like the cheap energy club,they get £60 for each switch & they pass on half of that back to the consumer,decent deal imo

Admittedly that's easier to digest than the shambolic cut and paste from MSE.
