Currently on a deal with Sky superfast, but it will go from the current price of £21.50, ending at £39 in June (73mb). They’ve offered me £30 to stay with them via their website. Not the fastest speed but generally pretty reliable.
Just doing a quick check and Vodafone seems to offer better speeds at a lower price. Will have a conversation with Sky, but just wondered others experiences with them? Need it to be reliable as my wife and I regularly work from home. I also have a SIM card with Vodafone so that might reduce the cost as well? Thanks in advance.

sorted byOne of my smart tvs (old, and opposite corner of the house) has trouble keeping a solid connection to the router.
don’t forget to check the cashback sites, it’s usually good to do, Quidco to uswitch, you’ll get your cashback for using through uswitch, then your voucher for buying through uswitch
From my experience, rock solid performance, I can only recall it going down once in the couple of years I was with them. Even the router which everyone said was crap I had no issues with.
My only issue is with the customer service who when I had arranged to move the service to my new property, they completely failed to do so leaving me with no choice but to look elsewhere to get service installed.
That said - strongly considering switching to them again for a good deal, as I don't plan on moving house again any time soon so they shouldn't have an opportunity to balls that up again
On the day of installation they were just about to start laying the cable under the lawn when we heard one of them say it wasn't live in the cabinet.
After much discussion they admitted that it wouldn't work and may not work for weeks so we had to contact Plusnet to get them to cancel our disconnection but it was too late and we were disconnected for 5 days.
We've since heard from a neighbour that it's still not fixed 6 months later.
So, if it's up and running they might be ok but definitely check! This may have been a Cityfibre issue, rather than Vodafone.
Now with Plusnet full fibre 400MB DL and 70MB UL
For that reason, I will never go with them. I suspect if you have the kit already installed they are okay but to get the FTTP installed no way. They might be better for cityfiber though.
Avoid.
Constant speed and not one drop. I get 68 mg for £21 a month on my new deal. My daughter has just joined them a month ago to cut costs and she’s very happy with it. I’m in Lancashire
I had Vodafone for 2 years, solid speeds, great price (they gave 15% discount if you didn't get their guaranteed minimum) and was very happy with them. However, eventually they clearly oversubscribed in my area as peak time speeds plummeted- they did send out Openreach but obviously this didn’t improve things so I jumped to NOW after a few months and speeds went back to normal.
I am very wary now of long contracts, and would never sign up to 24months - if things go wrong its a looong time to wait.
Hoping to get a decent broadband deal and then scrap Sky TV and just use Now TV and various channel apps.
