The Government is urging other providers to follow suit to help those in need
It is now easier for low-income families to get Sky broadband for cheaper rates. It comes after Sky joined a Department for Work and Pensions initiative designed to make it easier for benefits claimants to get discounted broadband and mobile tariffs.
This means people do not need to actively prove they claim benefits while on a tariff designed for those on low incomes, as they did previously, often as frequently as every month.
"As well as support with bills, we also provide existing, eligible customers with a broadband and mobile social tariff, helping them stay connected for a significantly reduced cost. The DWP eligibility tool is a useful step forward, enabling us to more easily confirm eligibility."
