Sky's broadband runs over the same Openreach copper / fibre network that BT, TalkTalk and most other ISPs use. We'll measure your line and tell you what's actually happening.

"Over 2 years" is the average monthly cost across 24 months once any intro offer ends and the rises written into the contract apply. Part fibre runs fibre to the street cabinet and copper to your home. From Sky's live deals, updated every day.
Getting a fair result
Run the test on a laptop plugged into the router with a cable. Over wifi you'll often see less than the line is giving you.
None of Sky's 12 deals has a price rise written into the contract.
If it’s still slow
Sky has signed Ofcom's broadband speed code. That means Sky gave you a minimum guaranteed speed when you joined. If your wired speed stays below it and Sky can't fix it within 30 days, you can leave without an exit fee.
Sky sells over Openreach and CityFibre, depending on the address. Who sends an engineer depends on which network reaches your home, and Sky books them either way. Source
Questions
Sky speed questions
What speed should I get on Sky?
Sky sells 8 speeds today, from 67 Mbps to 5 Gbps. Of those, 7 are full fibre, with fibre all the way into your home and one is on copper for the last stretch, up to 67 Mbps. Check which package you're on, then compare it with a wired test. The table on this page shows the speed each package is sold at.
Why is my Sky broadband slow?
Run the test on a laptop plugged into the router with a cable. Over wifi you'll often see less than the line is giving you. If the wired result is fine, the line is doing its job and the slowdown is in your home: the router's position, other devices or an old wifi standard. If the wired result is low too, switch the router off at the wall for 30 seconds, test again, then report it.
What can I do if Sky can't fix my speed?
