Why choose Sky broadband?
Sky is a popular broadband provider for good reason: it’s reliable, boasts excellent customer service, and has a huge range of options to suit any household. It’s also fantastic for TV services and other bundling options – you can get everything on just one bill.
The main downside is that Sky may not be the cheapest provider available to you. Especially if you want to add extras to your package.

Pros of Sky broadband
Plenty of choice: With a broad range of packages ranging from 36Mbps to 900Mbps, there’s something for everyone from Sky. And that’s before we even get to the TV and phone options
Biggest TV package in the UK: If you’re after a huge range of TV channels, on-demand content, sports, movies, and other TV services, it doesn’t get any bigger than Sky
Highly rated customer service: Sky has been top of the class for customer service in most of Ofcom’s last few years of reports
Widely available: Because Sky uses the Openreach network for its broadband and satellites for its TV, almost every household has access

Cons of Sky broadband
Not the cheapest: For standard fibre broadband or TV, there are cheaper options from other providers. Your bill can also easily creep up if you want a comprehensive bundle with things like Sky Sports, WiFi Max, streaming services, and so on
Only available on 18-month contracts: Unlike some providers, Sky doesn’t offer its deals on anything less than an 18-month basis – which may not be ideal if you’re renting, for instance
Confusing bundles: With so much choice, especially over TV, picking the right package from Sky can be tricky
Advanced Wi-Fi controls cost extra: WiFi Max, which gives you extra features such as guaranteed speeds and the ability to set schedules on certain devices, comes with an extra fee per month. They’re great features if you need them, but are available as standard with some other providers and routers
TV interface has mixed opinions: Sky’s tech is top-of-the-line, but not everyone gets along with the TV interface

Sky TV and bundle options
Bundling
Sky Talk (home phone)
With the exception of home phone, which is only available if you also get Sky broadband, you can get each of them on their own – or you can bundle them up as you see fit.
So you’re able to take out just broadband; or a broadband-TV combo; or all four if you prefer. You can even get Sky TV for your home while subscribing to broadband from another provider.
Onto that bundle, there are also a number of extras you can add. They include:
WiFi Max
Extra calls packages (e.g. anytime calls, or international calling)
TV channel packs (e.g. Sky Sports, or kids TV)
Sky Live
Ultra HD TV services

Sky Q, Sky Stream, and Sky Glass
Sky TV is available in a few different ways: Sky Q, Sky Stream, and Sky Glass.
Sky Q is classic satellite TV. You get a box to hook up to your TV set, and will need a satellite dish (which can arrange to be installed). It’s the best way to get high quality, reliable access to full breadth of sky TV
Sky Stream is similar but doesn’t require a satellite dish. Instead it connects via your home Wi-Fi, making it ideal for homes that can’t get satellite – flats, rented accommodation, and so on
Sky Glass includes the TV set itself. All the Sky tech you need is integrated right into the telly – a handy option if you haven’t got a TV. This is, of course, the most expensive choice of the three
Does Sky offer broadband-only options?
Yes, you can get Sky broadband on its own, without having to take out a TV or phone package, which can cost a lot more.
Some broadband options need a phone line to make the final connection from the cabinet in the street to your home. However, you can opt for a pay-as-you-talk phone deal, which doesn’t cost you anything, meaning you don’t have to use the landline if you don’t want to.
Does Sky offer better deals for new customers?
Sky often has special deals available just for new customers – you may find discounts, cashback, vouchers, free gifts, and more. Check the deals above, or enter your postcode to see what’s available for you.
Unlike a lot of broadband providers, Sky has also been known to offer upgrade deals that are only available to current customers too.
If Sky isn’t for you…
Your other option for a big TV package teamed with fast broadband speeds is most likely Virgin Media – the only provider that can really rival Sky’s enormous TV service.
Want to watch Sky content – such as Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, or the biggest Sky TV shows – but don’t want to subscribe to a full TV bundle? Check out NOW TV Memberships. These work on a 30-day rolling basis, like a streaming service. You can watch them via the app – available on most smart TVs and streaming devices, including TV boxes from other TV-and-broadband providers such as TalkTalk and Vodafone.
If you just want broadband and aren’t fussed by telly, there may well be other options for you that work out cheaper than Sky. Because it uses the Openreach network, whatever speeds you can get from Sky will be similar to what you can get from other providers too, possibly at a cheaper cost. Type your postcode into , and look out for budget providers like TalkTalk and Plusnet.
Got your heart set on full fibre? Sky’s fastest offerings aren’t available everywhere, and your options can vary a lot depending on where you are. If you can’t get full fibre broadband via Openreach, you may be able to get it from providers with independent networks, such as Virgin Media, Hyperoptic, Community Fibre, or Fibrus.
