About Sky

Sky Plans and Services
Sky offers several internet plans across different technologies and price points.
Sky offers a range of fiber broadband packages, often bundled with Sky TV or Sky Glass. Services rely on the Openreach network, meaning availability matches BT's footprint. Full fiber (FTTP) is available in enabled areas, delivering speeds up to 900 Mbps via the 'Gigafast' plan.

Sky Speed Test FAQ
How fast is Sky Broadband?
Sky Broadband offers speeds from 36 Mbps to 900 Mbps depending on your plan and connection type. FTTC plans (Superfast) deliver 36-61 Mbps, Ultrafast provides 145 Mbps, and Gigafast FTTP reaches 900 Mbps. Sky uses the Openreach network, so FTTC speeds depend on distance from your street cabinet. FTTP Full Fibre delivers consistent speeds regardless of location. Run a speed test to verify your actual Sky performance.
What is the difference between Sky Superfast and Ultrafast?
Sky Superfast plans (35 and standard) use FTTC technology delivering 36-61 Mbps via fiber to the cabinet with copper to your home. Ultrafast and Ultrafast Plus use FTTP Full Fibre at 145-500 Mbps with fiber direct to your property. FTTP offers faster, more reliable speeds with better upload performance. Gigafast requires FTTP and delivers 900 Mbps. Check availability at your address since FTTP coverage is still expanding.
How do I test my Sky Broadband speed?
Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your Sky download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. For accurate results, connect directly to the Sky router via ethernet cable. Close other applications and test at different times since FTTC speeds may vary during peak hours. The test takes approximately 30 seconds and works on any device with a modern web browser.
Can I get Sky Broadband without Sky TV?
Yes, Sky offers broadband-only packages without requiring Sky TV. Broadband-only plans start at £25 per month for Superfast 35. However, Sky often provides discounts when bundling broadband with Sky TV, Sky Glass, or Sky Mobile. Compare the total cost of standalone versus bundled packages to find the best value for your needs. Broadband-only customers still receive the same network speeds and router.
