Sky broadband vs eir, Virgin Media and Vodafone

If you’re wondering how Sky compares to the other major providers, Sky operates off the eir wholesale broadband network, so their broadband service is similar to what you’d get from eir or Vodafone.

In terms of TV, they all offer the option to tailor a package to your needs but Sky is the only provider that lets you enjoy their TV as a standalone plan.

How do you switch to Sky?

Switching to Sky is quick and easy. Just choose which plan you’re interested in and fill in a few details, including your address and bank details.

Sky will look for your Universal Account Number, or UAN, which is an eight digit number used by telecom providers to identify phone lines.

Make sure you contact your current provider to ensure you’re free to switch, and give them the required notice so that you’re not charged after you’ve switched.

You’ll be able to arrange a cut-off date with them for service and then you can confirm an installation date with Sky so you experience as little downtime as possible.

Once the switch happens, you can then cancel any Direct Debits with your current provider.

The size of your bill increase will vary depending on your existing deal, with the average Sky customer paying an extra £3 a month or £36 a year.

Price rises will be capped at an extra £6 a month, or £72 a year.

Sky says that less than one in 10 (8%) of customers will pay the maximum price hike.

TV and broadband bills will rise from 1 April, while home phone prices will rise from 1 May.

Broadband customers who are still in the minimum term of their contract can leave penalty-free if they act within 30 days of receiving their notification.

Time to move?

If you're among those affected, you might want to fight back. There are thankfully loads of options available to you, which we'll run through in this piece.

Do you really need the whole bundle?

The full Sky package has so many channels, and chances are you only ever watch a tiny fraction of them.

It’s quite easy to remove or cancel certain packages from your account. Go to My Sky on TV or Broadband & Talk (depending on what you want to amend) and sign in. Onenote for teams.

Then select the product you would like to remove from the Your Package section. Just follow the links to make the changes.

Even if you only have a phone and broadband package, go through your bills to see how much of your free calls allowance you actually use. There could be an opportunity to move to a cheaper calls package.

Use one-off Now TV passes

Alternatively, you could ditch the Sky TV part of your package and use Now TV passes when you want to watch popular series such as Game of Thrones or catch up with sports.

Now TV passes allow you to stream Sky services on multiple devices via an app or set-top box.

There are five NOW TV passes to choose from: movies, entertainment, sports, kids and hayu (for reality shows).

The Entertainment Pass is £9.99 a month. You'll have access to over 300 box sets and 13 pay TV channels, which aren't on Freeview.

The 'Cinema Pass' is a bit more expensive at £11.99 a month but you'll be able to watch over 1,000 films and a new premiere every day.

Sky Go Package Price

Sky Sports day passes start from £9.98 if you want to catch up with the latest matches/races/events. Alternatively, you can get a month's pass for £33.99, which automatically renews every month.

The Kids and Hayu packages are the cheapest at just £3.99 a month and £4.99 respectively.

The Kids package allows your little ones to watch programmes from their favourite channels, including Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, while the hayu package is ideal for reality TV fans.

You can try the Entertainment, Cinema, Kids TV or Hayu pass with a seven-day free trial.

Haggle!

In short, haggling is the best thing you can do to get a cheaper deal with Sky. Sky practically tells you to do it on its ‘Stay with Sky’ page!

All you have to do is call 03337 594 464.

If you’re not confident speaking on the phone, it’s worth noting down what you’re going to say, taking every possible outcome into account.

Have some negotiating phrases ready and use past problems as ammunition.

Try to avoid calling at peak periods like Mondays, lunchtimes, weekends and just after work. You want to get as much time with the operator as possible, so call when it’s quieter.

There are three sure-fire phrases to getting you a better deal: ‘I’m leaving’, ‘I’m paying too much for my current package’ and ‘x offers a similar deal cheaper.’

To back up your argument, check the best buys on the market right now to see if you can genuinely get a better deal elsewhere. You can start your search at BroadbanGenie.

The main aim is to get through to the retentions department (more commonly known as ‘disconnections’) as they have a lot more power to give you discounts than the customer service team do.

Sky Go Package Reviews

Be charming. Acting rude or entitled will put the operator on the defensive, meaning that you’re less likely to get a better deal.

You don’t necessarily have to go with the first offer either, giving you wiggle room to haggle even more!

That said, try not to push the operator too much as it’ll ruin your hard work. Listen out for verbal cues like defensive language, hesitation and impatience.

If they call your bluff, say you need to check with your partner/flatmates/parents first. You’ll hopefully speak to someone different next time.

And if they go silent, wait for them to fill in the gap.

They’re hoping that you’ll accept the price to end the silence, so don’t give in. Our editor saved £240 just by threatening to leave for a cheaper deal.

Find out more at How to haggle and save a fortune.

Ask for extras

Ask if they can chuck in any freebies such as free calls or extra channels, particularly if they can’t bring your cost down.

Have a go at blagging movies or an extra sports channel on top of your current deal.

Be prepared to leave to get what you want

If you don't get a decent offer, then you might be better off simply leaving, as long as you won't have to pay any exit fees of course.

Leave it a little while, and you will likely be contacted by Sky with some sort of return offer. These vary by customer, but we've heard tales of 33% off for five years, or even 75% off for a year.

Alternatively, you can attempt to play the cashback game. You can pocket some decent cash when you take out a deal with Sky from sites like Quidco.

Add more services

Add more? Isn’t that a bit contradictory?

Sometimes taking multiple services from one provider can reduce your bill.

For example, if you just have broadband with a provider then chances are it's more expensive than if you have a phone and broadband package.

If you do decide to add more services, aim for an upgrade offer rather than just adding a service to your current package.

By just adding a service the standard price will likely apply, meaning that you lose out on substantial savings. Stainless steel litter box with lid.

As always, haggle – see if you can get the extra services at a better price than advertised!

You can check Sky's full range of products and offers here.

Of course, the downside to signing up to more packages and products is that you'll likely be particularly hard hit when the next round of price hikes rolls around (assuming you're out of contract).
