Sky Essentials

[Astra370]

I am just joining Sky Essentials through my Barclays account subscriptions. Does this include Broadband and are you supplied witha router?

If it's 'TV Essentials' then it's Freesat television reception with recording facilities on a Sky Q box.  There's no broadband service bundled with that.

Sky essentials is a broadband package (very slow) and you receive a router

Essential is ADSL broadband. Essentials is Freesat.

Helpful Sky naming again...

That's because it's not 'Freesat from Sky': it's 'Essentials' ; )

I think the name changed when it started being supplied on a Q box.

So I live in a remote area, but don't want to spend huge amounts of money. Does anyone recommend Sky Glass? 

I have two BT Home spot boosters, not sure they are working properly. Changing from Vodafone as they are very slow. 

Will I need another package? Am at desperate point as my internet keeps cutting out grrrr.....thank you guys

In summary: I don't think we know for sure.  Broadband of any kind has a minimum cost to an ISP of over £20 a month, so if what you're seeing is less that that then it's probably a Freesat television bundle (no subscription channels)

[Astra370]

How do you find Sky Glass? Is it worth it? Will I need a package on top of the payment for broadband? Anything you can recommend ? 

Thanks

The advertised Sky pricing for Glass does not include broadband.

Unless you really need to purchase a television on credit, Sky Stream plus an OLED TV would almost certainly be 'better'.

Sky glass on a max of 24Mbps. Not advisable
