Broadband and streaming

I changed to streaming as it appeared cheaper than the normal satellite subscription, but now I see separate billing for broadband and it will cost more! Can I change back to save money?

@pmagee1959  You would need to speak to Sky as the community can't help with this.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

'Sky Stream' is a subscription television product: it's never included broadband (nor did the Sky satellite television platforms)

You would always have had separate billing for broadband.

When you move to Sky Stream or Sky Glass your billing listing in MySky gets split into two.

 

Since I moved to Sky Stream over 18 months or more ago, I have had one billing section called Broadband &Talk and one called Streaming TV.

Before the move I had one billing listing that contained bot  my Sky Q and Broadband/Talk listed subscriptions.

 

Can still go back to 2023 in the Broadband&Talk one and see my old Combined Sky Q and broadband bill listing.

There maybe some carry over for a short while if you have just moved to Streaming ( as you always pay for a Sky Tv service a month in advance) that may sort itself out over the next month, if what you see is your satellite billing ending and your Streaming bill starting.

Have a read of the article on how billing works for your first bill moving to Sky Glass/Stream from Sky Q or Sky+
