Sky launches Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps
September 29, 2026



Sky has launched a new Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps product, giving more UK households access to faster, future-ready broadband.

The new product is Sky Broadband’s fastest speed available to homes on the Openreach network, covering nearly four out of five (79 per cent) UK homes, and offers speeds more than 20 times faster than Sky’s standard broadband.


Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps is powered by Sky’s Gigafast+ hub, which uses tri-band WiFi 7 technology capable of delivering speeds twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6. Designed for increasingly connected homes, it helps deliver next-level performance with lower latency and less lag, whether working, streaming in 4K, gaming, video calling, or keeping multiple devices connected at once.

Ben Case, Managing Director of Connectivity at Sky, commented: “We’re proud to offer Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps to millions of households, marking another important milestone in Sky Broadband’s commitment to delivering faster, future-ready broadband designed for increasingly connected homes.”

At launch, Full Fibre 1.6 Gbps is available to new Sky Broadband customers, including existing Sky TV, mobile and smart home customers, subject to availability. Existing Sky Broadband customers will be able to upgrade at a later date. Prices starts from £38 a month.
