New customers of UK ISP Sky Broadband, including NOW Broadband (NOW TV), should be aware that the provider(s) will today be changing from 18-month terms and adopting longer 24-month minimum contract terms across all of their broadband, TV and triple play packages.
According to Sky, the move is intended to more closely align them with competing providers (24-month terms are now much more common) and to “continue offering our customers brilliant value, improved technology and deeper pricing.”
Longer contracts typically save new customers more money, at least during your first term, albeit with the caveat that they also lock you in for longer (i.e. the end-user takes on more risk, which can be a problem if things go wrong).
