Hi,

 

Unfortunately, due to a technical issue, the £25 M&S voucher on all Broadband offers could not be extended, meaning that customers joining or upgrading to SKY Broadband unlimited can no longer receive this voucher.

 

We did not anticipate this but we are currently working on removing all the £25 M&S voucher content from the Sky site.

 

Therefore, please remove all £25 M&S voucher content from your sites and communications in conjunction with all Broadband offers as soon as possible.  If the offer should come back at a later date, I will send out an update on the situation.

 

The Broadband offer live is now as follows:

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and hope this doesn’t interrupt your Friday!
