Internet provider Sky Broadband has today confirmed that, as per last week’s partial launch announcement (here), their new Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ (2.5Gbps) and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast+ (5Gbps) packages are now available to order online via CityFibre’s growing UK FTTP broadband network (available to c.4.5 million homes).
The two new packages – priced at £70 a month for 2.5Gbps and £80 a month for 5Gbps on a 24-month term with the Wi-Fi 7 capable router and Wi-Fi Max add-on available “at no extra cost” – could initially only be purchased in Sky’s stores and via their call centres. But from today you can finally place an order for these via Sky’s website too.
The online launch also enables us to confirm that the post-contract pricing for each package is currently £75 and £85 per month, respectively. But we suspect those seeking the best balance of speed and affordability on CityFibre’s network may find Sky’s 900Mbps tier (£38 per month and then £49 post-contract) to be much more viable, although this lacks their new Wi-Fi 7 kit.
CityFibre are also supporting Sky’s slower FTTP broadband packages and the prices, which are also available via Openreach’s national network.
