Recruitment has now closed

Sky Broadband are looking for Mumsnet users to test out their new app, Sky Broadband Buddy, which allows parents to have control over their family’s internet usage by being able to pause your internet, filter sites and manage screen time.

This product test is open to all UK MNers who have at least one child aged 6-12 and have a Sky Broadband account with Sky Hub 2 or later, and an Android or iOS device that you own.

Selected testers will be given:

  • An exclusive offer for Sky Broadband’s newest Fibre product, Sky Broadband Superfast and Sky Broadband Boost for just £18.99 per month (Currently £29.50pm) with a 12 month minimum term, which is a saving of £126 over the course of the year*

To become a tester, Sky will need to sign you up to the above package. As a part of the sign up process, Sky will need to confirm if you're eligible to take part. The easiest way for them to do this is by checking your account number, but if you're not able to find this easily you can sign up giving details of the email address you believe to be linked to your Sky Broadband account. We will be selecting eligible testers at random following this process and Sky will give you a call to get you set up.

Here’s what Sky Broadband have to say: “In May we launched our brand new app, Sky Broadband Buddy, which gives parents the ultimate level of control over their family’s internet usage. Buddy takes parental controls to the next level with its market leading features such as being able to pause your internet, filter sites and manage screen time on devices on WiFi and mobile data.”

If you are interested in getting this offer and becoming a tester for Sky Broadband Buddy, please fill out the following survey and if you are successful, we will let you know via email, and Sky will call you via the number attached to your Sky account to set you up with the new package.

Selected testers will be required to leave their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet and fill in a short survey. Everyone who leaves the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where 3 MNers will win a £100 voucher each of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

Hi @Gardenworm, apologies for the delay in replying - you're correct, the offer price will be held for the duration of the offer, with the point in the T&Cs about prices referring to the standard price of the package.

Hi @Scoleah, Sky will be calling in the next week or so Smile We will let you know if anything changes.
