Can I get Sky fibre broadband in my area?
Sky is one of the most widely available fibre optic broadband providers in the UK, reaching around 96.6% of the population. There’s a very good chance you can get it where you are.
Availability on its highest speed Ultrafast and Gigafast packages is limited, however. You may be in luck if you’re in or near a major city, but smaller towns and rural areas are less well-served.
You can find out if you can get it for your household by using our postcode checker and seeing what Sky fibre broadband deals are available.
Bear in mind that even if you can’t get Sky broadband, you may still be able to get fibre broadband from another provider and order Sky TV separately.

How does Sky compare against other providers?
Speed-wise, Sky fibre broadband is broadly similar to fibre offered by many other Openreach providers, including TalkTalk and Plusnet.
However, quite a few providers offer faster connections. Virgin Media broadband goes up to 600Mbps, while BT, EE, and others that use the G.fast network deliver up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps).
In terms of price, Sky is generally higher than average, both in monthly and setup costs. It’s good value when bundled with TV (which gives you a lot of high quality content and extras), but if you only want broadband, you’ll likely find it cheaper elsewhere.
Part of why Sky can cost more, of course, is because you get more. For instance – technology. As free routers go, the Sky Hub is excellent. It can support a wide spread of devices all at once with strong Wi-Fi, and does so reliably.
Other providers that also give you top-notch equipment tend to be at a similar price point: BT, Virgin Media, Hyperoptic, and so on.
Finally, the bundling options with Sky are excellent. The only provider that can even compete here is Virgin Media – which has faster broadband speeds and hundreds of TV channels in its arsenal. Sky is more flexible, however, letting you mix and match exactly what you want in your bundle.
Sky’s bundling options
Once you’ve chosen a broadband package, you can then bundle up with calls on your home phone, and of course Sky TV.
You can choose one of Sky’s straightforward ready-made bundles here, or build your own. Pick your broadband speed, home phone option, Sky TV package, and whether you want Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, and/or TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) too.
And let’s not forget you can also add mobile phone plans, courtesy of Sky Mobile.
Bundling all these services together saves you a few quid, and puts everything together on one handy bill.
In fact, Sky is made with bundling in mind. If you pick a Sky broadband + TV option with multiroom, the Sky Q boxes will help extend your Wi-Fi into those rooms. You’ll get a better connection on all your devices around the house (and some top telly to watch while you browse the web).
