Sky flash sale cuts TV and Netflix pack with double broadband speed to record low price

Sky is in the midst of a surprise spring sale that's seen a TV, Netflix and broadband bundle drop to its 'lowest ever price'. Sky's Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 broadband package is available for £35 per month and now comes with double the broadband speed with 300Mbps for the cost of 150Mbps.
Ordinarily, Sky's Full Fibre 300 costs £29 per month without any TV access. However, this bundle also includes more than 100 channels like Sky Atlantic – home of The Last of Us and The White Lotus – and major free-to-air channels such as BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and many others.
The combined TV and broadband bundle also includes free subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+, with the option to add Sky Cinema and Sky Sports to the package for an extra £10 and £20 respectively. Customers can also upgrade to Sky's new Ultimate TV plan, which offers more than 40 additional channels – including Sky Showcase, Sky Crime, Sky Documentaries and Sky Comedy – for an extra £4 per month.
All these services are accessible via Sky Stream, the brand's latest device that delivers TV and streaming services through WiFi instead of a traditional satellite dish. Sky has also recently launched the new One Touch Switch scheme, meaning customers don't have to contact their current broadband provider to make the switch, reports the Mirror.
Sky now takes the hassle out of switching by handling customer transfers on their behalf. It's important to remember, though, that Sky's TV and broadband plans are tied to a 24-month contract, with the company stating that prices 'may change' within that period.
Earlier this year, the company raised its TV and broadband price by an average of 6.2%, which may suggest a similar increase in April 2026. Nevertheless, Sky stands out for allowing customers to opt out of their contracts early if there's a price hike announcement.
Sky's Essential TV and Full Fibre 300 deal rivals Virgin Media's Bigger Combo bundle, which grants access to more than 200 TV channels and 362Mbps fibre broadband for £34.99 per month. However, Virgin doesn't offer Sky Atlantic, Netflix or Discovery+ with this plan, which could be a deal breaker for some.
Sky users have been vocal about their satisfaction of the brand on Trustpilot, where one glowing five-star review said: "Sky Stream is a game changer. Switched a few weeks back and it's the best decision I've ever made. Installation takes care of itself, the remote even auto tunes itself to the TV. The best part is though the ability to have a single charge for all your streaming subscriptions."
Another said: "I've been with lots of companies to get my TV and internet but the best service I have received out of them all is Sky. We did change to other companies because of the price but always go back to Sky."
However, not every customer is as positive, as one less-impressed review said: "I wasn't happy with the service provided by Sky, phoned up to change my deal and was passed around like a parcel. Eventually I got to speak to someone who knew what they were doing. I am happy my issue was finally resolved but took a lot of work."

Netflix 'nightmare' body-swap film with 'unforgivable' twist

It's What's Inside is a sci-fi horror that was released straight to streaming service Netflix in 2024 and has been causing quite a stir among fans of the genre This horror film has been making a splash in the genre, earning rave reviews from movie buffs on Rotten Tomatoes, despite it being the director's debut feature. It's What's Inside is an independent sci-fi horror penned and directed by Greg Jardin, starring a cast of up-and-coming actors, including Brittany O'Grady, best known for her role as Paula in The White Lotus. She forms part of an ensemble cast portraying a group of friends whose lives take a bizarre turn. ‌ One captivated viewer hailed the film as "absolute cinema." ‌ They wrote: "Truly a work of art. Anxiously waiting for another dose of this." The 2024 horror flick is peppered with dark humour as it delves into the dynamics among a group of old university mates reuniting for a wedding. The plot thickens when Forbes, played by David W Thompson, brings along a suitcase containing a peculiar device, reports the Mirror US. This enigmatic gadget allows them all to switch bodies, sparking off an exhilarating game. They decide to liven things up by guessing who is in whose body, but the fun quickly spirals out of control, leading to a stark division within the group. A viewer commented: "An EXTREMELY original take on the body swap trope. This has cult classic potential. The plot is original and engaging. The execution and cinematography are exactly what's needed. The acting is robust but fell slightly short of making this an easy five-star rating. I'd suggest this to anyone in the mood for a body-swap film with a few dark twists. It might even be something I revisit in the future." However, one aspect that many viewers agreed upon was the "big twist" at the end, or as some are referring to it, the "unforgivable" ending. One viewer said: "Don't completely love the ending unless there's a sequel on the horizon soon." Elaborating further, another somewhat disappointed viewer remarked: "The film is generally quite brilliant. A fantastic drama with a rather unique approach to body-swap films. But it has the worst ending I have ever seen in a film. Cut off just at the climax." The film was launched just last year in 2024 after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and went directly onto the streaming platform. It garnered mostly positive reviews, with an overall score of 79% on the review platform Rotten Tomatoes, and many fans are eagerly awaiting a sequel following its shocking twist. If you're intrigued by less than two hours of dark humour and sci-fi frights, It's What's Inside is available to stream now on Netflix.

Samsung shoppers snap up £300 free cash with Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

Shoppers can pocket a cool £300 directly into their bank account courtesy of a new deal from Samsung and Sky - but the offer won't last forever. Telecommunications giant Sky is offering customers the opportunity to spread the cost of the latest Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra so they don't have to shell out more than £1,000 in one go. This brings the cost down to a manageable £30 per month. Samsung has kicked off its Shine Bright campaign, which means shoppers who purchase certain products can also receive a substantial sum of money back into their accounts. After purchasing eligible products, Samsung enthusiasts simply need to visit this page to claim their cashback. If this Sky offer piques your interest, you can purchase the tablet here, then head over to Samsung's promotional page here to lodge a claim. However, bear in mind that the claim window shuts on June 24, reports the Express. Shoppers will need to submit their claim within 30 days and provide proof of purchase, the device's IMEI and the serial number. Once the claim is processed, Samsung will transfer £300 directly into their bank account. Simple, isn't it? Sky is allowing customers to pay for the tablet at £30 per month on a 48-month contract. This means tablet enthusiasts could use the Samsung cashback to offset the cost of the device for several months. When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, it's the best tablet Samsung has to offer. It comes with a fast MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, an S Pen stylus in the box and a ludicrously big 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz display. Samsung is also offering £100 cashback on the Galaxy Watch Ultra, meaning this Amazon purchase will cost £399. Samsung is also handing out £200 cashback on the Galaxy S25 Ultra phone from Samsung, including £200 trade-in credit on old phones. The Daily Express reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra model right here and sang its praises. As David Snelling said: "Is the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra a brilliant tablet? 100% yes!". "This gadget is supremely powerful, comes packed with smart features, looks premium and has performance that won't crumble under pressure. The AMOLED screen is simply stunning, and you even get that S Pen stylus in the box - that's something Apple charges over £100 to add. "However, no matter how good it is, that 14.6-inch panel is just too big for me, especially when travelling, and that's important as this is the time, like most people, when I use my tablet the most. "Of course, some will love the mammoth display, and if you genuinely need a super-sized screen, then this is a solid, if very expensive, option."

Squid Game: the show's worst characters are back … and they're as unbelievably wooden as ever

Look alive – Squid Game returns this week! There's still no sign of any squid, which is the kind of false advertising that ruined The Pink Panther. But that's good, because squid are terrifying. Once, showing off on holiday, I offered to cook for a group of friends. I didn't speak the language where we were, and ended up leaving the fishmonger with a big bag of tentacles. As I attempted to remove the head, guts, beak and skin of the creatures, their internal sacs burst, coating me in viscous black ink. I suffered an allergic reaction, don't eat squid any more, and don't see those friends. Squid Game the TV show (Netflix, Friday 26 June) has proved even more traumatising. Set on a hidden island, the competition pits hundreds of desperate, indebted people against each other in a series of children's games. The winner gets millions, while the losers are executed by guards, or die via gruesome, in-game accidents. The show's brilliance is the way it amplifies the emotional stakes of each set-up. Players bond, form alliances, then have to murder each other to survive. The weak are ganged up on, cowards exploit loopholes in the rules to screw over everyone else, while those who make selfless choices are punished. Usually. It's hard to discuss Squid Game without spoilering it to Buckaroo. It is such an enclosed world, a Jenga puzzle of individual choices and group consequence. This third, final series was intended to be part of the second, and filmed back to back. Which is to say, don't drop in here if you haven't seen the first two. It'll still be upsetting, it just won't make any sense. Let's speak broadly of the characters, voluntary kidnappees on a starvation diet. The winner of the first Squid Game, who re-entered the second to take revenge on its creators, is now dealing with the fallout of a failed insurrection. They spend much of their time chained to a bunk, looking more haunted than a Coney Island funfair. Their nemesis is the Front Man – an overseer who wears a voice-distorting mask and looks like Kryten from Red Dwarf dipped in petrol. Other players include a drugged-up psychopath, whose simple pleasures involve watching the light fade in the eyes of the dying. There is also a mother and son, who probably won't get to stay on the same team. Very upsetty, no spaghetti. Sadly, the VIPs also recur. Members of a wealthy elite, who created the tournament for their amusement. Wearing golden animal masks to make it crystal clear they are ciphers of decadence, they spectate from a neon pot-planted chamber, betting on who lives or dies. Imagine if the participants of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut ran a board game night. These flimsy characters deliver dialogue so wooden it could have fallen off the back of a Jewson's lorry. If our world has shown us anything, it is that the evil billionaires are not lazy, grape-eating emperors. They are narcissistic businessmen who get up at 4am to ruin the entire world, not just one small island. I'm also less engaged by the storylines of organ-harvesting guards, or the ongoing efforts of detective Hwang Jun-ho to locate the island and find his missing brother. Squid Game is compelling because of its games. These diabolical tests plumb the depths of avarice and selfishness, or offer occasions for self-sacrifice and stoicism, depending how they're played. 'Do you still have faith in people?' is a question the overseer poses the hero, who stands on the precipice of an impossible choice. As characters, they embody opposite answers. Game theory, a branch of mathematics that analyses competitive strategies between rational actors, has proved that cooperation outperforms exploitation. In other words, it's in all our interests to not be bastards. The problem is people are not rational; and having a gun to their heads tends not to help. Moreover, you know what a few rotten apples do to a barrel. This is why Squid Game grips us – we're afraid of who we really are. We need to be shown ourselves, in the least flattering mirror, yet still be shown not all bad. What will the show's verdict on us be? There is such cruelty in its premise, vivid glee in its sadism, and previous seasons have hardly ended on an upper. But the game's not over till it's over. Let's see, through a squid darkly.
