Sky See + Surf Max 1 Broadband Bundle

Review of Sky See & Surf Max 1

STOP PRESS! Save £30 off the activation fee if you take a Sky+ box or Sky+HD box

WE'VE all heard of Sky's superbly branded 'See, Speak & Surf' bundles, but this is the slightly lesser know Sky 'See & Surf' package!

Brilliant

Sky See & Surf Max 1 broadband bundle offers blindingly quick Sky broadband and brilliant Sky TV, but drops the home phone option, saving you a good few pounds a month if you're not a big home-phone user. Remember that you will still have to pay line rental, though.

Your Sky broadband part of the bundle is the super-fast Sky Max package which gives speeds of up to 16Mb. As you'd want with speeds like that, there are no download limits (within reason), so you can go wild while your data line positively smokes!

2 of 6 TV mixes

Sky's 'See' part of this two-part package is your Sky TV choice, and here you get to choose any 2 of Sky's 'mixes'. This means you choose 2 of the available 6 mix of packages:
- Variety
- Music
- Knowledge
- News & Events
- Kids
- Style & Culture

Of course, if you only want one Sky TV mix, you can have that - and it'll save you a pound a month - or, alternatively, you can add as many other mixes to the bundle as you like, increasing the monthly price by a just a pound each time.

If you want Sky Sports and/or Sky Movies, you can add these for an extra monthly charge. You can also buy a Sky+ box in place of the free Sky Box that comes as standard.

Sky+

If you haven't heard about the benefits of Sky+ yet, then it's well worth taking a quick crash course: Put simply, the Sky+ box puts you in charge of what you watch, rather than the other way round.

You can pause, rewind and/or record live TV with the touch of a button.

Or if you have the kind of TV that makes your neighbours jealous, you can opt for a Sky HD Box which does everything the Sky+ Box does but also delivers your TV in high-definition.

There is a monthly fee for this service, but if you've ever wanted to count Nicole Kidman's freckles...

Excellent value for money

As a TV and broadband-only bundle package we're huge fans of this Sky bundle package, not least because of its excellent value for money.

	Sky See + Surf Max 1 is currently offering £30 off the setup fee if you take Sky+ or Sky+ HD box.
