Whether you're a light user or looking for something superfast that can cope with heavy internet usage, there are lots of providers who would love your custom if you're looking to switch up your broadband service.
Sky is best known for its satellite offering, its own-brand Sky Glass TV sets and its newer streaming service packages like Sky Stream. But it also sells mobile and broadband options, plus packages bundling one or more of its services.
Read on to find out more about Sky's broadband deals, plus packages from its sibling brand NOW.
Sky broadband checker
The first thing to do when selecting a new home broadband provider? Always check what speeds you can get, to make sure you're receiving the best value for money and choosing a package that will work for you.
Ofcom's broadband checker is a great place to start. Simply pop your postcode into the box when the page loads, and it will estimate the available speeds in your area, so you can choose a package to match.
If you've decided you'd like to go with Sky, you'll be prompted to enter your postcode and house or flat number when buying a new broadband package.
Existing Sky customers can check their service at https://www.sky.com/servicechecker, and its Service Status page also shows details of any known issues in your area.
Sky also offers a "Wall to Wall WiFi Guarantee" for in-contract part-fibre or full-fibre packages of Superfast 35 and upwards, when using its own provided router and boosters. This is activated "if you can't get 3Mb/s WiFi in every room" of your property. Exterior buildings and unconverted lofts are excluded from this arrangement, as are sheds, outhouses and your garden or yard, if you have one.
Customers can claim once for a refund of a month's broadband subscription at "any time during 24-month min. term after first 14 days", according to the terms and conditions. Full terms are here.
If you've got Sky Broadband Boost or Sky WiFi Max, then these provisions won't apply to you as these options "have their own WiFi guarantee".
Sky broadband deals for October 2026 – plus packages explained
The Sky broadband packages available to you will depend on where you live in the country. All prices are for a 24-month minimum agreement and may change during that contract period – our last price check took place on 1 October 2026.
Sky is also currently offering a deal whereby you can claim up to £200 towards any leaving fees when you switch to Sky Broadband, subject to their terms and conditions.
The Superfast part-fibre package is recommended for "streaming and downloading on multiple devices", while the speediest Full Fibre Gigafast package is marketed as "best for the busiest households or hardcore gamers".
As mentioned above, enter your postcode and house name or number to find out what speeds you should be able to get in your area – Sky's smallprint states that Full Fibre packages are "available to 60% of UK homes" and Full Fibre Gigafast+ is available to "12% of UK homes".
You can see full price details below of Sky's most popular broadband speeds. This month, the price of Full Fibre 300 and Full Fibre 900 is the same.
• Full Fibre 150: Average download speed of 150Mbps. Priced at £24/month
• Full Fibre 500: Average download speed of 500Mbps. Priced at £27/month
• Full Fibre 900: Average download speed of 900Mbps. Priced at £28/month - lowest-ever price
• Full Fibre Gigafast: Average download speed of 2.5Gbps. Priced at £35/month - lowest-ever price
While there are no upfront fees on Sky's broadband offers, prices are not fixed during the 24-month contract, so they could go up in that time.
Sky broadband and TV package bundle deals
At checkout, you'll be invited to add a TV package to your preferred broadband package to make a bundle. Sky offers three different TV options: the traditional Sky Q box, the Sky Glass integrated TV, and the Sky Stream box – which works with your existing TV set.
Sky Stream also now has two tiers of programming – the entry-level Essential TV package featuring Sky Atlantic, or the newly revamped Ultimate TV package, which includes more pay channels such as Sky Max, Sky Comedy, Sky Nature and U&Gold, alongside integrated streaming services like HBO Max, Disney+ and Netflix.
Packages vary – and of course, you can customise to your needs – but the current options are listed as of 1 October. All are 24-month contracts, and prices may change during the minimum term.
Shop Sky TV and broadband package deals
• Sky Stream Ultimate TV package (including Netflix Standard with Ads and discovery+ basic) plus Full Fibre 150 broadband: £41/month
• Sky Stream Ultimate TV & 900Mbps Full Fibre Gigafast Broadband (includes Sky Atlantic and over 130 channels): £41/month
• Sky Stream Ultimate TV package (including Netflix Standard with Ads and discovery+ basic), Sky Sports, plus Full Fibre 150Mbps broadband: £41/month
• Sky Stream Essential TV package (including Netflix Standard with Ads and discovery+ basic), plus Full Fibre 900Mbps Gigafast broadband: £35/month
Note that some of these packages don't include Sky Cinema or Sky Sports (with all of its Premier League, Women's Super League, Formula 1 and US Open tennis coverage), so you'll need to pay extra for those services.
Sky broadband add-ons explained
When purchasing Sky broadband, you'll be invited to choose from a selection of add-ons such as:
• Sky Talk (24-month minimum term): For those of you who still have a landline and like to chat on it, you can choose from three unlimited call plans – Talk Evenings & Weekends (£8/month), Talk Anytime Extra (£16/month) or Talk International Extra (£18/month).
Prices may change during the 24-month agreement, but each plan includes calls to both UK landlines and mobiles. Talk International also opens up "50 worldwide destinations" as part of the plan.
One important thing: Sky's calling services are provided via broadband, not through the regular landline network – and your landline handset will plug into the back of your router instead of the wall.
Essentially, these tech changes mean that if your broadband falls over, you won't be able to use the phone. Check out this explainer from Ofcom, which goes into more detail about changes to move all landlines to digital tech over the next couple of years.
You will also be asked at checkout to confirm that you have a mobile you can use to place emergency calls, and that you don't have a connected social or care alarm that uses the regular landline network. If you don't have a mobile or do have a connected care alarm, you'll be invited to call the Sky team to discuss alternative arrangements.
• WiFi Max hub (£4/month, no additional delivery charge): Pictured above, this upgraded hub is a WiFi 6 router, which has more advanced security features than the default Sky Max router.
It also offers control over individual devices' access to the network via the MySky app. Again, the price for this service may change during a 24-month contract.
NOW broadband packages
NOW is another brand owned by Sky. Many of you might be aware that it offers access to certain Sky content and packages through contract-free, themed memberships (Entertainment, Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, Sky Kids and Hayu), but you may not have been aware that it also offers broadband packages.
NOW's broadband services are powered by Sky (you'll be transferred to Sky's website to check availability and place your order). NOW offers three full fibre broadband tiers, and each is available "to 51% of UK homes", according to the product listings on NOW's website.
The following pricing is correct as of 1 October 2026.
• NOW Full Fibre 75 has average download speeds of 75 Mbps and estimated upload speeds of 16 Mbps. It's priced at £24/month for a 24-month minimum term.
• NOW Full Fibre 100 has average download speeds of 100 Mbps and estimated upload speeds of 18 Mbps. It costs £24/month for a 24-month minimum term.
• NOW Full Fibre 300 has average download speeds of 300 Mbps and estimated upload speeds of 40 Mbps. It costs £27/month for a 24-month minimum term.
All three packages usually have a £9.95 hardware fee, and customers will be asked to fill out their card details at checkout where a £5 advance fee will be taken (this will be credited against your first bill). Note also that "non-standard set up may cost extra", according to NOW's terms.
NOW's broadband packages also include a wall-to-wall WiFi guarantee similar to the one offered to Sky's broadband customers, which it describes as "WiFi in every room or [your] money back".
