Sky customers could save £200 by switching to Now Broadband to avoid price rise

Sky broadband customers facing price increases may be able to avoid paying more by switching to one provider.

This month it was announced that major providers including EE, Plusnet, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and more would be hiking prices for customers mid-contract. While Sky is also upping its rates by 6.7 per cent, Now Broadband has launched a plan that’s powered by Sky for a far lower cost.

Unlike its rivals, which incur hefty fees for those who want to opt out of their contracts early, Sky allows customers to switch providers at no extra cost, as long as they do so within 30 days. Sky is one of two providers that is letting billpayers switch without exit frees, as Now Broadband is also offering the same leaving window and one of its plans could save users’ hundreds, the Mirror reports.

For Sky customers looking to make the switch, this Now broadband deal could be the way to go. Powered by Sky’s network, it offers a much cheaper price on Full Fibre 100Mbs broadband at just £25 a month, compared to Sky’s £28.50 monthly sale price.

Now’s plan locks customers into an 18-month plan with a £10 upfront free, bringing the total cost to £460 annually. That’s £53 cheaper than Sky’s package and once its current sale comes to an end, the monthly fee will return to £38.

As such, choosing Now’s 100Mbps plan powered by Sky will save users a huge £224, for the exact same speeds and coverage.

Vodafone is another retailer offering cheaper full fibre speeds as it cuts up to £250 off its Full Fibre plans, although eager users only have until March 14 to grab the deal.

Thanks to its current February deal you can get up to £200 off. Of course, this depends on the plan you pick, with five different plans up for grabs. Starting with its slowest 73Mbps plan from £27 a month or 100Mbps from £29 a month, Vodafone’s biggest 910Mbps plan starts at £39 a month.

And a recent flick-through shows that the broadband retailer will let you jump onto one of its competitive plans from Sky. On its site, the provider states: “Leave Sky for free when you switch to Vodafone broadband.”
