About Sky Broadband

Sky Broadband is a late entry into the Broadband ISP market, but is also one that is proving to be very attractive with customers. Aside from generous monthly download allowances and fast connections, the Sky Broadband service is available as part of a Sky TV bundle, or as part of Sky's new triple-play bundle deal 'See, Speak, Surf' providing Sky TV, Broadband and cheap phone rates. Sky Broadband are offering three basic broadband services all with varying download speeds and monthly usage limits, which are supplied through Sky's own network and a fourth option based on the mid-range service for those not currently covered by the network. Sky also provide 24/7 technical support.

As the Broadband deals are charged in addition to the subscription rates for the TV services, the prices below do not reflect the full amount.

Sky should stick to what they do best

Review by: K-Ende, 18/06/2008 at 09:56:38
Sky should really stick to television, because their broadband service simply isn’t good enough. I signed up to their £26 a month TV, phone and broadband package which means that broadband works out at just £5 a month, but to be honest it’s not worth it because it’s so unreliable. More often than not I don’t get a connection at all, and when I do it often cuts off – very annoying when you’re writing an email or chatting on skype. You’re supposed to get 8mb but mostly my speed is about half that. In my first month the service was down for 2 days. When I tried to ring customer services I was put on hold for half an hour. In my opinion it would be better to pay slightly more for a reliable provider.

Sky broadband is good apart from the initial set up. You have to wait 10 days for connection and a further few days for all of your equipment if you connect your router yourself.

Other than that I'm really pleased with the speed, connection and price!

Sky Broadband - Base

Sky Broadband - Base Up To 2Mbps 2GB £30.00 £210.00

Base is the standard entry-level Sky Broadband deal, connecting at a maximum speed of 2Mbps, and giving users a 2GB monthly allowance. However, after the initial £40 connection fee, there are no further charges for using Sky Broadband Base – it is essentially a free Broadband service alongside whichever digital TV subscription you have with Sky.

Also included in the deal is a wireless router, a free 12 month subscription to a security program (customers are given a choice between McAfee Internet Security Suite for PC users, and McAfee Virex for Macs), and up to 10 email addresses for Sky.com. All Sky Broadband users also get exclusive access to extra Sky movies, sports and entertainment content.

This deal is perfect for families and small-time net users who only use the net occasionally, as there is no additional charge for this simple no-frills Broadband service.
