EE has slashed the prices for EE TV, with some cracking deals that get you access to loads of TV channels, free Netflix and 6-months of Apple TV+ – and beats Sky on price for 6 months.
The secret here is that the EE TV deal includes the broadband in the price. Reduced from £46.99 a month to £27.99 a month, you’re getting loads in this EE TV package.
There’s access to all the normal Freeview channels like BBC, then there’s Now Entertainment for access to the likes of Sky Atlantic. You get Netflix, Discovery+ and 6-months of Apple TV+ to try – and EE will offer you an Apple TV 4K if you want one – the only TV provider in the country that can do that.
With Sky Stream starting at £15 for a similar package without broadband, it’s a tempting offer from EE.
There’s a massive amount of content bundled into this deal, which saves you£19 a month off the regular cost – but there’s also a lot to know about this deal. First of all, the £27.99 price is for 6-months, so you’re saving £114 across the full term of this contract. The contract is for 24 months.
After the first 6-months the price will revert to the regular price of £46.99 a month. The deal includes all that TV content, as well as either EE’s TV box, or the Apple TV 4K. EE is the only company that offers the Apple TV 4K with its TV services integrated, but it means you can then take advantage of the other features of the box, like connectivity with your iPhone and other apps and games.
The offer of 6-months of access to Apple TV+ is a sweetener (worth £8.99 a month, or £53.94 over 6 months) and will give you access to loads of exclusive content such as Ted Lasso, Severance and The Morning Show.
If you want even more TV, EE is also offering its Full Works package at a discount – saving you £55 a month for 6 months (saving £330), but also getting you access to Sky Sports.
Then you get to the broadband, which is bundled into the package. With EE TV, you can only get the TV service if you have EE’s broadband, so this deal is best for someone that’s looking to switch broadband provider. The price includes the standard 67Mbps service, which is plenty fast enough to stream 4K shows on your TV.
If you’re happy with your broadband and don’t want to move, then opting for Sky Stream is your best alternative, as again, you get access to loads of channels and Netflix, while also being able to stream all your terrestrial TV too, so there’s no need for a dish.
If you’d rather opt for Sky Stream, then you can get it from £15 month from Sky.
The advantage of choosing the Sky deal, over EE, is that it’s cheaper over the long term. You don’t get the option of an Apple TV 4K box and there’s no trial of Apple TV+ thrown in, but you will be getting a lot of entertainment for a low price – including Netflix – with the option of adding more channels from Sky if you want them.
Sky is also offering to bundle in Sky broadband with the Sky Essential TV package for £35 a month. That’s more expensive than the EE deal for 6-months, but over the 24-months of the contract it will work out cheaper – although prices are subject to change.
