New customers of Sky Broadband UK should note that the ISP has re-joined the summer price war by discounting their top two unlimited “Sky Fibre” (FTTC / VDSL2) and line rental bundles, which now start at just £25 per month for the first 18 months of service. Plus you get a £50 Prepaid Mastercard.
The new offers, which seem designed to counter rival discounts from Plusnet, TalkTalk and Vodafone, are expected to last until 5th July next week but they are slightly unpicked by the fact that Sky are still charging a hefty one-off activation fee of up to £59.95 while others are not. On the other hand the others aren’t offering £50 prepaid card to spend.
Customers can also expect to receive a 12 or 18 month contract, unlimited usage, a wireless router (Sky Q Hub), Sky Talk line rental (standard UK call rates), unlimited access to WiFi hotspots from The Cloud, Sky Shield (Parental Controls and Anti-Malware), Sky Talk Shield nuisance call blocking, Sky Yahoo Email and a 12 month free trial of the McAfee Internet Security Suite.

Sadly there’s still no word on when or even whether Sky will join others by launching a G.fast based ultrafast broadband package. As usual these prices may only show if you follow the Sky Broadband affiliate link through on this special offer article.
no ‘Sky Fibre Max unlimited’ then??
If their T and Cs are correct, its a 25gb limit..or have a S L O W 39M unlimited..
All of the above packages are unlimited. The capped packages are usually hidden away, used for either fallback on speed guarantees or as bundles with TV plans.
funny, lve been with sky for years on the unlimited package and lve never been slowed down like you suggest.
@Comnut
You appear to be confused or misleading about skys various packages. For reference…
http://www.sky.com/help/articles/your-sky-fibre-questions-answered
and the first question on that list explains things.
The packages :_
“Sky Fibre Unlimited”
and
“Sky Fibre Max”
Which is what this story refers to are and always have been unlimited.
well until they change the name to“Sky Fibre Max Unlimited” I wont believe..
Also the ‘legal stuff’ part of their website needs to be changed to reflect this..
NO, it’s no point saying it ‘does not apply’ when having bought it, and the support guy calmly says read the legal stuff…
“well until they change the name to“Sky Fibre Max Unlimited” I wont believe..”
You can believe what you want ive clearly pointed to a web link that tells everyone it is unlimited. Keep your believes to yourself rather than spreading FUD
If a product has to have the word “unlimited” in its title for you to believe it then i guess using that ridiculous logic BTs new “plus” range named products are not unlimited either as those do not have “unlimited” in their titles.
Maybe a certain person should practice what he preaches with regards to libel.
