Finding a streaming site that's not fallen into the trap of raising its prices is a tricky feat as Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+ and Prime Video all upped their costs. Whether it's an extra £4.99 to crackdown on password sharing, paying more to avoid adverts, or booting up the standard plan, it all adds up.
But thankfully Sky TV has added Netflix to its bargain Stream deal meaning Beckham and Race to the Summit fans alike can watch without paying a single penny for the site. That's because it's including the service if you add a particular TV deal to your basket.
Those who buy the Sky Stream, Sky TV and Netflix package will walk away with a free subscription, therefore avoiding the streamer's planned £24 price rise. A downside? Users won't be able to get around its password crackdown rates so those that hand their logins out will still be charged an extra £4.99 for every additional viewer, even through your Sky box set.
On top of the freebie Netflix deal those that sign up will get a whole month of Sky Entertainment completely free as it brings back its free trial period. This pretty self-explanatory offer lets customers sign up and skip the first months payments, slashing £29 off their bill. And there's flexible pricing too.
If you know you'll commit to a full 18-month plan you can cut the price even further by locking into a contract deal for £3 less each month, this £26 a month subscription would come with an exit fee if you decided to leave - of course the first month is free too.
Shopper buys big fluffy rug from Shein - but was left howling when it arrivedIf you're unsure whether it's for you, then there's the option of paying more to have the ease of leaving whenever you like. At £29 a month Sky lets customers enter into a 31-day rolling contract, meaning you can leave when it suits.
Packed with hundreds of channels and fuss-free to install viewers only need a strong internet connection ( it doesn't have to be Sky) to tune it, as there's no need for a satellite connection hook up. It's a perk which makes many shoppers opt for the stream plan over the provider's rival Sky Q TV package, which will charge you extra to watch in HD, not forgetting it's more complicated to install.
It's the first of many streaming deals to hit ahead of the providers mega Black Friday deals, which it's famously known for launching weeks before the official event. In fact, shoppers have just a few days to wait as the Sky website confirms we'll see further price drops this Friday, November 3.
As a little extra bingewatchers will be happy to know that Apple TV+ is thrown in for free too, another streaming site upping its prices. The six month freebie allows viewers to save a whopping £53.94 and avoiding the £2-a month price rise. Want to bag Apple TV+, Disney+ for cheaper?
