Sky Broadband – Check Out These Black Friday Deals – Forbes Advisor UK

Sky’s super-fast broadband offerings are available at average download speeds of 59 Mbs.

However, you will need to choose a speed that best suits your household needs. If it’s too slow, you might have a hard time doing what you need to do online. But if it’s too fast, you might be paying for a level of service you don’t need.

You will also need to weigh the speed versus the price and availability of Sky fiber broadband in your area. You can do this using Sky’s zip code checker.

Black Friday is great for getting a good deal, but – especially when it comes to contracts – you better not be too hasty. You’ll need to make sure you’re getting the right package, such as broadband only or a “package” that includes TV and landline.

Make sure you compare the entire market before making a decision. Take into account establishment costs and keep in mind that costs may increase during and after the agreed contractual period.

With full fiber broadband (also known as Fiber To The Premises or FTTP), fiber optic cables go straight to your home, allowing for much faster speeds.

Ordinary fiber bandwidth is where the fiber cables just go up to the cabinet (Fiber To The Cabinet or FTTC) and then use copper cables from the cabinet to your home.

Sky is rolling out full fiber to UK homes, with an average download speed of 500 Mbs and guaranteed speeds of 400 Mbs. But Sky full fiber is currently only available to the minority (15.7%) of UK households. You can see if yours is one of them by using Sky’s zip code checker.
