With our ever increasing reliance on the internet to accomplish even the most mundane of tasks, our demand for faster and better service providers increases exponentially. Together with BT (British Telecom) and Virgin Media, arguable Sky is one of the biggest telecom providers in the UK today. It offers exclusive films, sporting events and other programming alongside reliable landline and broadband internet connection at a competitive price point.
However, with the huge market coverage of the company, it seems a bit difficult and overwhelming to determine which of Sky’s offerings best fit your requirements and budget. Adding to the dilemma, the company provides a number of options to choose from, with many packages bundling together two or more services in order to make things more convenient and cheaper for the consumer. Overall, the company has over thirty bundles to choose from. Basically these bundles combine two landline deals (Sky Talk Weekends and Sky Talk Anytime), two broadband deals (Sky Broadband Lite and Sky Broadband Unlimited) and a number of TV channel packages that could all be reconfigured by the customer as they please. With all these options, what should one opt for? Which one would give the most bang-for-the-buck?
Well, worry no more, as we have compiled the best options from the many sky phone and broadband bundles it offers right now. Whether you are simply a casual internet surfer or a power user or a hardcore gamer, we have it covered for you. Read on!
