Sky Broadband now has the UK's fastest broadband speeds from any major provider with the launch of its new Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast packages, giving customers a superior connectivity experience at home.
The 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps speeds will be delivered by the new Gigafast hub, Sky's most advanced yet. It leverages WiFi 7 technology which is capable of delivering speeds twice as fast as WiFi 6. So, whether powering remote working, 4K streaming, or gaming, Sky Broadband customers will get next-level performance, fit for the demands of a modern home.
The launch marks a major milestone in Sky's full fibre journey and is powered by its new long-term partnership with CityFibre, announced in 2024. The partnership combines CityFibre's growing full fibre network of 4.5 million premises with Sky's expertise in broadband to accelerate full fibre connectivity to more homes across the UK, including in hard-to-reach areas
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. Combined with our existing full fibre range, we're offering more choice than ever before. Powered by cutting-edge WiFi 7 technology, these plans deliver smarter, faster, and more reliable connectivity."
Greg Mesch, CEO of CityFibre, said: Sky is making the most of CityFibre's full fibre network to offer its customers fast and reliable Multi-Gig speeds and an outstanding online experience. This partnership is bringing more choice and better broadband to millions of homes on CityFibre's nationwide, growing network - vital for how people live today and helping to deliver a healthy, competitive market for the long-term.
Sky's Gigafast packages are available to homes on the CityFibre network. They can be purchased today in Sky stores and via Sky's call centres, as well as by all eligible customers via Sky.com from the 15th July. Prices start at £70 a month for Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast and £80 a month for Full Fibre 5 Gigafast with WiFi Max available at no extra cost, worth from £4 a month.
The new speeds join Sky Broadband's existing full fibre range now available on both Openreach's and CityFibre's networks, which start from just £25 a month for 75 Mbps, giving people the flexibility to choose a price and package that suits their household and usage.
Introducing the Gigafast hub
Built with WiFi 7 technology, the Gigafast hub is designed for customers who demand the most from their broadband, giving them secure speeds, lower latency and less lag for streaming, working and gaming, all at the same time.
Developed in collaboration with Comcast, and the first global WiFi device from Comcast and Sky, the tri-band Gigafast hub optimises internet traffic to avoid congestion between connected devices in the home. Plus, it includes two 10 Gbps ethernet ports (1 x WAN and 1 x LAN) to support a direct connection for faster speeds for heavy streamers and hefty file downloaders.
Beyond its cutting-edge performance, the Gigafast hub introduces a fresh new aesthetic that showcases a modern cylindrical design to suit any home, as well as a sleek laser etched label, and white textured external casing.
Fast speeds, guaranteed
Sky Broadband customers get the speeds they're promised or money back. Customers who choose Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast can also add WiFi Max for no extra cost which guarantees WiFi coverage in every room or money back.
WiFi Max also offers advanced security, parental controls, device priority, convenient engineer visits and back up Sky Mobile data for unplanned outages*.

Notes to Editors
*Sky Mobile customers with WiFi Max will get 2GB of data added to their Piggybank if there is an unplanned broadband outage lasting more than 30 minutes between 7am and 11pm.
Sky's Gigafast packages are available in CityFibre connected areas. These will grow from a footprint of over 4.5 million today to reach at least 8 million UK premises.
Sky's Gigafast packages will also be available in Curry's stores soon.
