Sky fans could save £252 on their broadband if lock in this month
If you've been on the lookout for a cheaper broadband deal to lock in before the New Year then Sky may just have the best option for you, as the provider drops a huge £252 off one particular package.
Broadband fans won't have to wait until the competitive Boxing Day or January sales to find a cheaper deal as Sky's Ultrafast+ package drops to an all-new low price. Originally £48 a month the plan would usually set customers back a total of £864 across the full 18-month plan, but it's now available for a fraction of the price.
If you picked this Ultrafast+ package this festive period you'd spend £612 instead as it drops to £34 a month, a saving of more than £200. A huge saving for billpayers before the prices are expected to go up in 2024, as expected with many staple household bills.

The plan has speeds of 500Mbps and is full fibre which makes it ideal for those who're looking to download a host of films this festive season or spend hours online gaming, it's also a go-to if you're looking to stream in ultra-high definition quality.
The reduced price is set to stay the same for the full 18-month plan, a different take for the provider's recent November deals which saw customers get a cheaper rate for just a few months before the price raised back to the usual price for the remaining months of the contract.
Shop prices 'are yet to peak and will remain high' as inflation hits new heightsIt's not the only broadband deal spotted on the provider's site, as the much smaller 35Mbps Superfast broadband package is also reduced. Compared to its usual £34.50 a month price this plan has dropped by £6.50 a month meaning you'll save £117 in total - not too shabby.
As one of Sky's cheaper plans this Superfast package is recommended for everyday browsing and streaming in smaller households, ideal for those living on their own in a small apartment. For those with multiple console loving, streaming and handset scrolling families the pricier Ultrafast+ deal would be more suited.
The two broadband deals are the first of many price drops expected to come from the provider the Christmas period, especially as we get closer to December 26, Boxing Day. Another date etched in retailer's calendars for hosting yet another seasonal sale, it's where any unsold stock from Christmas is reduced before the New Year - so we could see even more from Sky in the next couple of weeks.
BT, Virgin Media and mobile network providers including EE and Vodafone are all expected to cut their prices over the festive period too. Ahead of the sale date BT has cut its upfront fee to £0 on its 900Mbps plan, while Plusnet is still offering its Full Fibre plans from £24.99 a month.
