The famous TV firm is currently dishing out fast full fibre internet access for just £27 per month - that's it's lowest ever price.

For that money, you get decent 150Mbps access which should easily be fast enough for an average home - an HD movie would take under four minutes to download at that rate.

As a quick comparison, BT also has its 150Mbps speeds reduced for Black Friday, but it is charging £29.99 per month for that bundle, which is over £30 more per year.

If 150Mbps sounds to slow then Sky also has its rapid 500Mbps speeds for £33 per month or most premium 1Gbps for £43 per month with both of these deals also beating Sky on price.

For example, you'll pay Sky £33 per month for 500Mbps speeds whilst BT is charging £39.99.

Another thing to note is that Sky, along with most other ISPs, recently confirmed that it has now implemented the so-called "One Touch Switch" process which means new customers simply tell Sky they'd like to join with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) then doing the rest. There's not even any need to tell your old ISP you are leaving.

Of course, before you sign up for a new plan with any main provider, it's worth shopping around to make sure there are no smaller so-called "Alternative Networks" in your street.

Some of these firms, such as Hyperoptic, Toob and Community Fibre, offer seriously impressive speeds at a very low price.

For example, Hyperoptic is selling its 1Gbps connection for just £38 per month and Community Fibre has that same impressive speed for just £33.

It's also worth remembering that most ISPs will hike prices each spring so the cost you pay now will go up slightly before the end of your contract.
