SKY and UC

Options
I have read online that people who are in receipt of UC can get a discount on SKY tv and broadband. And I understand this is a 24 month contract at a reduced price. What happens after 24 months does the monthly price revert back to normal price? Or can you apply for the discount again?

Thanks

    You can get a social tariff on broadband if you are an existing customer.

    If eligible you will get a fixed term contract of 24 months with no exit fees.

    Broadband is almost essential these days.  Sky TV is not so I'd be amazed if there is a subsidised version of that.

    Sky social package.

    Sky Broadband Basics costs £20 a month for 24 months. It includes:

    • Sky Broadband Superfast 35 with an average download speed of 36Mb/s.

      • Or if fibre isn’t available where you live, Sky Broadband Essential Plus with average download speeds of 11Mb/s.
    • Sky Pay As You Talk. Only pay for the calls that you make.

    It comes with a new 24-month contract, but if you need to leave us before it ends, we won’t charge you any early termination fees on your Sky Broadband.

    After 24-months the price will go back to the standard rate – we’ll tell you what this will be when you get in touch to take Sky Broadband Basics. You’ll also get an email to let you know when the price is coming to an end, and you can get in touch to talk about the options available.
