Was the cashback £200 in past deals?

What's the broadband speed??

The cashback for Sky television bundles has been quite high in the past, but I do not remember the cashback for broadband or fibre reaching £200.

I spoke to sky just now they are giving me two options:

1. Leave the line open for a active line takeover if I was to go with a new broadband provider then it will be a smooth transition it will take 14 days and a cancellation fee will be £5.50

2. I can cancel Sky broadband which will be automatic charge of £5.50 cancellation fee and my line will take 14 days to be cancelled. 18th July will be my last date and I can come back to sky for and pay only £18.99 line rental she said. Also if I wanted to go with a different provider they can't goahead with it without calling me and ask me to call sky to give my 14 days cancellation notice in so it would mean I will have to keep my line active for them to takeover.

I said I wanted to go away so I want to cancel my broadband I might be away for 2 months she said best thing is to cancel it but I won't have any internet broadband for 2 months now I'm thinking what shall I do can someone please tell me what would be best

I'm thinking I should sign up for this deal today with cashback and ask them to install the line on 18th July so there wouldn't be any problems.

What if I was to sign up would sky call sky to make my line active please someone explain what would be best thanks

In my area broadband is around 6 - 8mbs, and the speed goes up and down. I can't say what your speed would be, as this varies depending on your distance from the exchange, amongst other things.

Great thanks for this... (_;)

Good deal as long as it all tracks. Hopefully they will have a similar deal later in the year as I'm still in a 12 month contract

A question for regular Sky Broadband switchers - is the router delivered 2-3 days before your activation date? Or is it dispatched as soon as soon as you place the online order? Thanks.

First I would try ordering to see if you can wrangle this deal with a new name/bank account (maybe even try to send correspondance to another address to fake the moving in aspect as there's a tickbox to do that) - I had the last 2 Sky deals and since my last subscription was less than 12 months ago it won't let me order this time regardless what name or email I put down (I can't progress past this to the bank details part).

If you can get to the bank details part then all good. If not I don't see how 14 days cancellation notice will negate the 12 month minimum period before re-joining Sky. I suspect the Sky rep you spoke to wasn't clear on the T&Cs.

I get 17Mbps on Sky Broadband. Have just recommended this same package.

New area I am moving to has no fibre either, or is limited to one company currently.
Is standard broadband really that bad lol?

I don't care if downloads take longer.
So long as I can stream and game ok

Thanks. I meant what's the broadband speed in this deal.

What's this £75 mastercard thing?
I've never had a credit card but funnily enough I was about to look into them and get one.

Seems the time is now. Is it a free £75? You don't pay anything back. Don't really understand.
Assume after that u just use credit card and pay all off at once at end of each month and then u don't get charges?

Adsl broadband up to 17mbps standard. Maximum line speed with existing phonelines

The £75 is free money. Think of it as a discount to the monthly amount but done in a way they don't have to fiddle their monthly prices allowing them to keep increasing it.

You have to apply for the pre-loaded card within 90 days. In essence I guess it's like a gift card but spendable anywhere.

Got this deal on Saturday, the cashback is tracking hot


Just a little warning, the Sky q hub/router only has 2 ethernet ports

Nice, may have to go for this then. Though £28 monthly bill for standard broaband once deal ends? Seems high? I thought it was going to be £18 always haha.

Only 9Mb, cold.

Broadband = £10
Line Rental = £18(.99)

It's always been like this, hence FREE broadband with line rental included - you need a landline for broadband so they will always charge you for it as that £18 goes to BT/Openreach (please correct me if I'm wrong here) and Sky sell broadband at a loss hoping you stick with them after they increase the broadband cost mid-contract and you stick with them after the 12 months.

Get totally unlimited Broadband Unlimited, offering UK average download speeds of 9Mb, for £18.99 a month for 12 months

Damn, been hoping to post a good broadband deal and you beat me by 1 hour!

HEAT!

My contract with sky finishes next month 24th August can I cancel with them then get it again can someone tell what's the best way to do this

Cancel, then re-apply in different name.

i'm tempted but seen as sky are blocking some kodi streams i'm not sure

I tried to sign up as a new customer put my number and postcode in the website checked and is telling me to sign in as I'm already a sky customer.

How do I do the active line takeover and find out how much I'll be charged for temination.

The contract I'm on is £11.59 a month it's finishes on 24th August when I signed up 2 years ago it was £17.40 line rental abd free broadband with £7.40 discount so I was paying only £10.00 a month so i I took it up for another year but last year the line rental price went up to £18.99 - £7.40 I'm paying £11.59 a month that's why I have decided to take this deal thanks

Anybody have any idea when the cashback and MasterCard offer ends

If I call customer services and give them the 30 days notice today then sign up as a new customer with the active takeover would that work and can sky still charge me if I sign up and takeover a active line

Ordered thanks!

Assuming this is new customers only? I think I'd be classed as an existing customer, as a current Sky TV subscriber, even though I haven't had their Broadband for years.
Could try applying in a different name I suppose.

I`m with Origin, HORRENDOUS!!!

21-22mb for me with Sky. Had it so cheap the last few years it's not worth complaining but their routers are absolute pants.

Where is it cheaper? Or faster for the same price?

I bought this deal a couple of days ago (*shakes fist due to no fibre optic in the area*), and it does state it comes with the Q-Hub...
I hope the TCB tracks...

I think I think that's just the standard they send out now ​

Does anyone have a call overrider that works with Sky! I'm using 18185 with BT just now. Thanks.

Can you get a static public IP from sky on this package ?

Ok if you don't stream anything

Gosh. That's too low for me.

been with Sky for 3 years now. They dropped the speeds over the 3 years. The upload speed is at 0.6 when it used to be 1mb/s. Will ditch as soon as out of contract.

Sky's telling me not available can only have fibre, cleared cookies ect did have sky up till July 12 months ago normal broadband

Think I'm on the same (or was, paying a fortune now!) is that for fibre?

Just gone for the deal - how long does it take to track in your TCB???

Also, if it doesnt track. Can i cancel? I just had to pay £35 upfront so this deal isnt completely accurate

Wholesale line rental costs have dropped at lot in recent years, really dropped but line rental still goes up, depending on the line a provider pays Openreach around £10 per month, Sky are usually LLU so they can set their own price and still make a profit.

What did you pay £35.00 upfront for

No standard

I am a existing sky customer, my contract is going to expire on 10th july 2017. Now i am planning to apply on my wife's name. Does anybody know how to avoid new installation cost of £20?

Ah so it is!
So is around the £30 mark the average price of standard broadband?

I've only ever had fibre but moving to a none fibre area (at the moment).
£30 seems expensive when fibre only costs another tenner haha

You have to enter your address, when I did this it flagged up I'm already a Sky customer (all be it TV only) so couldn't proceed further with the order. Is there a way around this?
Best offer I could get was broadband unlimited for £23.99 a month for 12 months

I got the same thing I already got Sky TV now it's not letting me sign up

CASHBACK EXPIRED

Are you referring to the original £100 when this deal was originally posted 3 days ago, or the £85 cashback this deal was amended to recently? (OP should've expired this deal originally for £100 cashback and created a new deal with £85 cashback - rather cheeky way of retaining heat. Wish I could take back my heat vote now :disappointed:

Yeah that's clever I was talking about the £100.00 cashback but now the thread has been edited with £85.00 cashback still a good deal mind but I can't get it I have sky Tv and broadband with sky different name expires next month

Quidco are doing £90 cashback on broadband.
quidco.com/sky…-MS

Careful there. Last time I posted a Sky + Quidco £155 cashback deal and it got very cold. Most of the votes centred around Quidco not paying out cashback.

TCB hasn't tracked so i'm bound to end up having an ordeal to get it paid

At least you've got the £75 prepaid card to fall back on, eh?

Still annoying that the 14 day cancellation period will be up prior to submitting a cashback claim.

TCB not paying too :smile:

I placed my order on 6 July and the router was delivered today, 13 June, activation date is 20 June. Unlike BT internet or Sky TV contracts, there doesn't seem to be any hardware charges/ mandatory return obligations if the contract is cancelled.

Is it possible to pay the line rental in advance so it may cost less ?
Had my sky activated today , thanks to this deal and had applied on 05 July.

As far as I know, Sky is one of the few providers who do not allow you to but line rental up front.

If you have time/ remember, could the posters on this thread update it with results on the Top Cash Back payments?

Are Sky honouring the TCB cashback?

TCB estimate that it will take up to 21 weeks for the money to become payable, according to my account. This means it should be paid around the 30 November 2017.

I'll update if my cashback is declined or confirmed, which is the next step before it becomes payable.

My TCB tracked, estimate payable in 9 weeks. Getting speeds of 51Mb - very pleased.
How long do we have to claim the £100 mastercard?

You have 90 days from the day your service went live.

If you haven't already, you should create a Sky id, (an email address and password is needed). The welcome email should have a link directing you to a "track my order" page which obligates you to create one.

Once you have linked your id with the order you can view your bills and access a link in your account area which invites you to claim your reward - the £75 Pre-paid MasterCard.

Cashback from TCB paid today, £100.

Please check your TCB accounts and if you have time update results.
