Who is Sky Broadband?

Sky's broadband proposition leans heavily on its bundle relationship with Sky TV, Sky Mobile and Sky Stream. Acquired in 2018 by Comcast, Sky has been a consistent challenger to BT in the residential market with strong customer-service ratings and a recognised brand among Sky Sports and Sky Cinema households. Sky retails Openreach FTTC and FTTP under the Sky Broadband and Sky Broadband Full Fibre labels, with the Wi-Fi Max guarantee and Sky Stream bundling as the headline commercial differentiators. For switchers, Sky tends to convert best where TV is already part of the household decision. For standalone broadband, the headline tariff competes closely with BT and increasingly with altnets in larger urban markets.

What speeds does Sky Broadband offer?

• Sky Broadband Essential, Superfast, Ultrafast and Full Fibre (including Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ and 5 Gigafast+, launched July 2025 on CityFibre wholesale)
