I think this deal from Sky's deal list is at least a year old.

Definitely only one mastecard available and it's the £100 one. Still a decent deal.

Darn it - Sky broadband literally went live today, however last week they were only offering a £75 mastercard...chances of complaining to see if they will add another £25?

done this with the £100 m&s voucher and £70 cashbck, all sucessful. got my sons school uniform for free and some money in my account, worked out about £44 for whole years Broadband,which has been brilliant for my kodi and gaming needs

Its free on price, what is the usage limit there, if any?

not sure if it still works but if you add any time calls it shows up as free, for 12 months also
took the offer out couple weeks back, with just £75 mastercard, unlimited broadband plus free anytime calls extra, all for just £17.40 line rental

The broadband is only showing as free for 9 months for me.

Ah, because I clicked on a '9 months free' student offer on Facebook and it was still in my cookies. Doing it in an incognito tab now.

I took out fuel broadband on a gamble and at 17ish on line rental and free 12 month broadband and everything sent 2 me free of charge and a free firestick good value I'd say

Just ordered. How long does it usually take to track on TCB?

EDIT: £65 got tracked on TCB after a couple of hours. Great!

Signed up for this days ago. Install date is weeks away still.
Works out just over a fiver a month after cashback etc.

Unlimited

My Cashback has tracked successfully and is pending - it won't go through until installation and payment etc.

Interesting
....,.............

rubbish broadband.

mine worked out even cheaper as I'm taking over a line already in the property.. saving £29.99.. so I work it as:

£17.40 * 12 = £208.80
delivery £9.95
total £218.75

£165.65 in cashback and card

total = £53.10 / 12 = £4.42 per month

people still use landlines????

Just noticed someone posted this deal a day or 2 ago,it got voted cold :neutral_face:

see here

new customers only

I did this a while ago with the £100 m&s card, £70 cashback and free broadband for a year.
Cheap as chips. Shame Sky is one of the worst for speeds over wifi but I will survive for a year...

more than one year with the sky topcashback since tracked, then claimed several times but never got paid. Checked tcb reviews, all good. Searched online, found out it is very common. Basically, after one year subscription with sky, you will only receive cashback if you are lucky...

It's like buying Nokia 3310 when you can get Samsung s5, s6 or other smart phone for low price.
I can't imagine pay for 2 Mb or up to 8Mb broadband when you can't watch Netflix amazon TV or even Kodi.
I think this is a deal for retirement people or living where fibre doesn't reach .
Not good to me.

I have sky but was looking to sign up as new customer (in my partners name). But it shows no broadband unlimited available in my area even though I am currently using that!

Any help and advice?

thanks for your valuable input

I did this last year, they increased line rental after a month so I cancelled. Got TCB & £100 master card and made a profit :smile:

If you get 21 Mb/s download please post this on this forum. They possibly say UP TO 21 ☺. Also upload if you will get 1Mb/s upload will take you a while before you get you pictures uploaded to photo box or other printing services.
I don't know how old are you how often you connect to your local WiFi and how many home users you have but I'm telling you that you won't get 21Mb/s for sure.

I'm an existing customer and managed to get 38mb unlimited BB for just £17.40, inclusive of line rental.

Really really push hard if you're an existing customer. There are great offers to be had.

that poor they give it away

​can I ask you how long it took to get your cash back?

signed up for £75 cash card offer has anyone have any expirience to get another £25 out of them..?

Ahh damn I switched a few weeks ago with 75 card and 65 cashback on quid Co, as had massive issues with tcb not tracking my cashback properly last time. Apparently line rental also available after first till received.

Switched away from Sky just under a year ago, do I qualify as a new customer?

Anyone know what costs are involved in getting a master socket moved? It's in the back bedroom, totally in the wrong place for a wireless router, and plugging it into an extension seemed to reduce the speed. So I ended up going with Virgin just so I could get the router installed where I wanted it. Coming to the end of the contract now though.

For Virgin > Sky a new line would be installed I guess so ask the engineer to install it where you want. Double check with Sky though.

Not sure about the year thing, you can sign up with another name from the house hold to be safe

Thanks for the reply, but I doubt that would work as I already have the BT line (in the bedroom).

You're right, they will transfer the open reach line. So I guess not.

you can go back to sky , but you would need to sign up in a different name, and also use a different email address, abviously if you do move, you would have to pay any termination fees that are owed to virgin, if you are still in contract

Are you sure :wink:

I've been with Sky Broadband since Oct 2015, and my current Router sync speeds are 23,998 downstream and 1,165 upstream. I'm 100% confident that these figures are correct, as 1) I'm an ex-telecom engineer with 17 years experience on Openreach, 2) I live less than 1/2 mile from my local exchange, and my 20 year old property is fed by an EO cable, 0.80mm gauge in thickness, 3) I know for a fact that my local exchange has had the DSLAM's upgraded to ADSL2+ and 4) My regular SamKnows Whitebox emails that I get every month confirm that my average download speed is never no less than 21 Mbps ...

So, on copper broadband, decent speeds are possible. Certainly don't need FTTP or even FTTC here at my house.

I appreciate that Sky broadband might not be suitable for everyone, but you can say the same about any other broadband provider (PlusNet, BT etc). In fact when I left BT, and had my free employee broadband stopped, and I chose Sky (because of the offer that was on at the time) my actual broadband speed actually increased !

I have a Sky Broadband subscription which ends in mid October. What would be the option for me?

Would sky waive the line rental? I'm a current Virgin customer but I've given my notice. Problem is I've paid for my line rental till next April.

Wondering how flexible bt/sky would be.

Anyone got UK call centre numbers for sky and bt please?

​call sky as my contact was also ending mid October. I got Fiber UL and landline for £20.
I was also offered £10 standard BB and landline. I am sure you can also get this offer as it was very straightforward.

How could you expect sky to waive the line rental? As they are already offering free broadband when you pay for line rental,waiving that would mean giving you the whole package totally free ???

I'd pay for the BB. Doesn't have to be this deal.

Ooh, tell me more! Am coming to the end of my 12 month contract for my Sky broadband...

What if u dont have a mastercard

I'm currently with Virgin Media (tv, internet and phone). I would like to change to a cheaper deal, however, my 18-year-old son plays a lot of X-Box live, etc. He built himself a gaming computer to use with his X-Box. I've already talked to him about changing internet supplier but he says that he needs a super fast internet speed to play his games and that the fastest speeds are with Virgin Media. I use a computer a lot to do my work and my teenage daughter is usually on the internet (using her laptop). Are any of these SKY broadband deals actually suitable for fast gaming on an X-Box (as well as other people using the internet at the same time in the house)? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello. I am currently with Sky and have had awful gaming issues for my son playing online with his system. The reason for that I am switching to BT in two week's due to the very low mb we are getting. My son doesn't even get 1 Meg a lot of the time to connect and play. We have exchanged room's and tried a plug in signal booster. No avail. Along with sky sending a new router out. Nothing work's. Constantly going on about his gaming and it cutting out / not being able to join a lobby to play. I personally wouldn't recommend sky broadband for a strong gamer. We previously had BT fibre and we're getting 38mb through out. So we know,it is sky's broadband. Hope this help's :smiley:

I have fiber in my area. I moved from fiber to standard as didn't need the additional speed. I was trying to sign up on the above offer which I believe is for standard broadband? Pls correct me?

I want to get the smart card and the cashback, and called sky they said to me that I have to do this online but I can't get any link where I can go to the cashback. Any one can help me please.

Thank you for letting me know this - I can imagine my son would be just like your's if I get the Sky broadband, so think I will bang that idea on the head now. Did you find that the 38mb with BT was good enough for your son when gaming and did it ever cut out/slow down? I think we are getting over 70mb with Virgin Media and I know that my son is happy with that, but hoping to cut back on the monthly cost a bit. I get all of my services from Virgin Media. Did you just get the broadband with BT or did you have a phone and tv package as well? You say that you are going back to BT in a couple of weeks, have you already been offered a deal/package for this - if so, if you don't mind, could you give me some idea as to what to ask for when I ring them up? I have an old BT line in my house but have been using Virgin Media for around 10 years now. Thank you.

not right now no, not until you reach near your contract end, and only then you would have to call sky to haggle your deal or threaten to leave,

if you were with a diffrent provider you could just switch , (once your contract was near its end that is)

[img][/img]
Sometimes above 21 but never below 20. I never mentioned upload speed. Thank you for your invalid comments.

Exactly

Hi :smiley: BT did cut out often but it always have a high speed connection in between. They did say it was my line and not their end of fault. I won't be going back with sky for broadband again purely due to my son's low speed. It is awful. I would love to go with virgin but they don't do it here so the next best thing is BT :smiley: I previously just had the broadband with BT. I wasn't offered a deal to go back to them. I did haggle and try to get even a little deal but they won't have it like sky will. Sky are good like that. I managed to get everything half price with sky but the broadband is the issue. If the payment differences per month are not that different with virgin compared to BT I'd stick with virgin. As BT are expensive also. Hope this help's :smiley:

LOL- invalid comments...

ah ive just cancelled sky broadband as came to end of my 12 month deal, do you think this will work if I resign up to them??

I rang them to cancel and told them I was moving to vodaphone for 22pm on fibre.. they just said " ok " and cancelled my broadband haha!

ah ive just cancelled sky broadband as came to end of my 12 month deal, do you think this will work if I resign up to them??

I cancelled mine last week and they emailed within days offering to pay my line rental for a year so only £10pm for Broadband. Had the last year almost free thanks to the MSE deal so I think I'll accept.

How does this work? How long before your contract ended did you call? And by 'cancel', do you mean you ended up without broadband at all until they called you back? I am also on the MSE deal which was pretty much free for the last year, now considering going with Plusnet - that would be only £106 a year, since you only pay for the line rental, you get £60 cashback from Quidco plus £50 cashback from Plusnet.

It's due to end at the end of the month. I gave notice of cancellation and they offered free BB, just pay line rental which I declined. 2 days later I received the email offering to pay my line rental for the year if I contact them by the 22nd. It's a generic looking email with a big banner saying "have your line rental on us" not an email from the Sky rep personally or anything.

I was going to get the other half signed up on this deal which is cheaper all things considered but I'm in two minds now.

AVOID TOPCASHBACK Just used them for the first time they confirmed my earned cashback via email and on my account then days later took it back and will not provide me with an explanation. They cost me £10.00 use QUIDCO instead I have used them for years with no problems.

To balance, myself and others have earned thousands through Topcashback. Not doubting you've had a bad experience but nothing wrong with topcashback whatsoever, same if not better success rate than Quidco here. As always though, never make a decision based purely on cashback as it is never 100%.

Kieranmayo, are you sure it's not just that they've debited the annual Plus membership fee from your earned cashback?

What is notice of cancellation?
I called and said I would switch if I didn't get a good deal, they offered £17.40 a month (including line rental) for the following year, I said I would switch to Plusnet, she said I should call them and the switch would go through at the end of the contract, so no cancellation was necessary. Didn't try to offer me any better deal at all! :disappointed:

I'm between this (18M) and Vodafone 22pm fibre (40M)

hmmmmmm

I could well just be very lucky but if you fancy a gamble, I signed up to this Sky Broadband and went live with the service a few weeks ago. I contacted them on live chat saying I'd seen that they offer cashback through Quidco and had improved the gift card from £75 to £100 and could they give free fibre unlimited for 12 months. A quick chat to a manager and this was added to my account.

As I say, this is in no way guaranteed but if the standard broadband would be acceptable to you in a worst case scenario then I'd say go for Sky and try and haggle a cheap/free upgrade to Fibre once you are live.

I've gone for sky broadband for the time being ! let's see and thanks for your feedback :smiley: that was lucky!

Good luck!

I idknr have any phone line at home would they charge me extra for this

Carphone are doing it for £15 a month and a £75 mastercard. No need to worry about cash back hassle as well

AND potentially wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more expensive?!, so ..... lol.

Just a bit of feedback on this (OP here).

I got the £100 mastercard and the cashback paid out. Had good internet service too. So it worked out perfectly!
