What do you mean you’ve really missed the Premier League? Was that delicious World Cup feast not enough to satisfy your insatiable hunger for all the football, all the time?
It wasn’t? Oh OK, fair enough. Well in that case, we know that August 10 will have a big highlighted circle around it on your calendar. And the same goes for some of the UK’s biggest broadband providers, who have once again timed some storming broadband and TV deals to coincide with the start of the 2018/19 season.
Keep reading to discover the best broadband and TV deals around to get the most from this season’s football action. And we tell you more about who’ll give you a better view of the action – Sky Sports or BT Sport.
BT Broadband with FREE BT Sport
BT Superfast Fibre | 18 months | 50Mb average speed | Weekend calls | £9.99 router delivery | £29.99pm + £100 reward card + BT Sport
Look at the monthly tariff alone, and it’s fair to say that BT doesn’t give the cheapest broadband only deals around. But check out the free added extras – a free 18 months of BT Sport, £100 pre-paid Mastercard you can spend in store or online and free weekend calls. And 50Mb should be plenty fast enough for seamless streaming. Still not rapid enough? An extra tenner a month gets you Superfast 2 with average speeds of 67Mb and a £120 Reward Card.

Sky Broadband + Sky Sports
Sky Broadband Unlimited with Sky Sports HD | 18 months | 11Mb avg. speed | 300+ channels + all 8 Sky Sports channels | £39.95 upfront | £57pm
We reckon Sky is relying on its brand name to make people want to sign up for its broadband and TV packages, because its prices are way more expensive than the competition for the whole caboodle. By adding TV channels and the Sky Sports suite, the price heads up close to the £60 mark per month – and that’s just for standard 11Mb ADSL.
