Sky Broadband Cuts Superfast “Fibre Broadband” FTTC Prices for 18 Months

We’ve not seen any special offers from Sky Broadband’s range of superfast “fibre broadband” (FTTC) packages for quite a long time but all of that just changed after they introduced a range of 18 month discounts, which significantly cuts the monthly rental.

As usual each package includes a wireless router (Sky Q Hub on the “Sky Fibre Max” service), Sky Talk / line rental (standard UK call rates), unlimited access to WiFi hotspots from The Cloud, Sky Shield (Parental Controls and Anti-Malware), a 12 month McAfee Internet Security Suite trial and Sky Yahoo Email.

The new offers are broadly aimed at new subscribers, although the small print does appear to suggest that the promotions may also be “available to new and existing Sky Broadband and Talk customers without Fibre.”
