Sky Broadband Gigafast is the fastest broadband service available with Sky. With Gigafast you will need to have Fibre To The Premise, which will be installed by a Sky engineer. This is the fastest possible broadband connection and there are few competitors who will offer faster and more reliable than Sky with the great customer service they provide. We recommend that you go with Sky if you intend to get Sky TV in the future.
Sky Gigafast is suitable for anyone. You may not need these speeds or you may not be able to use them with your existing equipment so this is something to consider.
