How to get Sky's new Full Fibre Gigafast+ broadband in the UK
For superior connectivity, it has to be Sky Broadband.
Sky is now the market leader in UK broadband speeds with the introduction of Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast+ packages. These broadband speeds promise to give customers a superior connectivity experience at home, but how can you get your hands on it?
Today (Wednesday 9th July), Sky has released the UK's fastest broadband speeds from any major provider with its new Full Fibre Gigafast+ packages. These new packages are brilliant for busy, modern households such as parents who work from home, a teenager who loves to game, and kids who tune into the latest seasons on Sky Kids.
Speaking about the new Sky Full Fibre Gigafast+ broadband, Sophia Ahmad, Chief Consumer Officer at Sky, said: "We’re proud to be setting a new standard in UK broadband. With speeds up to 5 Gbps, our new Full Fibre Gigafast+ packages make Sky the UK’s fastest major broadband provider.

What is the new Sky Full Fibre Gigafast+ broadband?
Today, Sky has become the UK's fastest major broadband provider with the launch of Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast+, as well as its Wi-Fi 7 hub which powers the broadband.
The introduction of these two new Gigafast+ broadbands marks a significant step in Sky's plan to introduce full fibre to all UK households, and this plan is powered by its long-term partnership with CityFibre, which was announced in 2024.
This partnership combines CityFibre’s growing full fibre network of 4.5 million properties with Sky’s broadband expertise to bring full fibre connectivity to more homes across the UK, including hard-to-reach areas.
