THE originators of the broadband, phone and TV bundle, Sky present a raft of excellent phone, TV and broadband options to create a bundle package that'll suit your pocket and your telly tastes.
This Sky See, Speak & Surf Max 2 broadband bundle is based around Sky's unlimited and super-fast broadband Max option.
16Mb unlimited
You'll get Sky broadband speeds of up to an extraordinary 16Mb with no monthly usage limit, making it perfect for serious web users and online gamers.
At 16Mb, this is twice the speed of almost all other high speed broadband packages (with the exception of Be).
Free calls anytime
The home phone option bundled with this Sky package is Sky's fantastic Talk Unlimited, which gives you free unlimited calls to all UK landlines at any time, as well as free calls to as many as 20 other countries worldwide.
Where Sky really comes into it's own is with its superlative digital TV packages and if there was ever a reason to choose Sky over one of the competing bundle providers, it is the TV bit that usually sways the decision. With this package you get to choose 2 of Sky's 6 TV 'mixes' made up of:
- Variety
- News & Events
- Music
- Kids
- Style & Culture
- Knowledge
Sky being Sky, you have amazing flexibility here, and during sign up you can easily add more Sky TV mixes to your bundle. At about £1 a month extra each, it'll hardly break the bank.
If you're in the mood to spend a little more you can also buy a Sky+ box (currently £99) which is now subscription free, so it is just a once off payment.
High definition
There is also the option to buy a Sky HD box which allows you to watch TV in high-definition (if you have an HD TV). There is however a monthly subscription for this.
As a bundle package this is extremely good value from Sky, but do keep in mind the need for BT line rental in order to receive it.
