What Can You Do with 1.6Gbps Broadband?
Sky is bringing even faster full fibre broadband to more homes on the Openreach network, with speeds of up to 1.6Gbps. For households with lots of connected devices, heavy streaming habits, and people working, gaming and browsing at the same time, this latest speed tier offers even more capacity to keep everything running smoothly.
Why are faster speeds becoming more important?
Today's homes are busier than ever. It's no longer unusual for a household to have:
Multiple 4K streaming services running at the same time
Online gaming on several devices
Video calls for work or education
Smart TVs, speakers, cameras and other connected devices
Large file downloads and cloud backups happening in the background
While many households will be well served by lower speed packages, larger families and shared households often want additional bandwidth to help ensure everyone can stay connected without interruptions.
What's New?
Customers in eligible Openreach full fibre areas can now access broadband speeds of up to 1.6Gbps, offering one of the fastest broadband options currently available on the network.
As more devices become connected to the internet, higher-speed services can provide extra breathing room for busy homes where several online activities are happening at once.
Built for Busy Households
The biggest advantage of 1.6Gbps broadband isn't necessarily about making one device faster. Instead, it's about giving your entire household more capacity.
Imagine a home where:
Someone is downloading a new game console update
Two family members are watching 4K films in different rooms
Another person is on a video call for work
Smart cameras and doorbells are connected around the home
Tablets, phones and laptops are all using the internet at the same time
With more bandwidth available, everyone can continue their online activities without having to think about who is using the connection.
For larger households, the benefit is often less waiting, less buffering and more freedom to use multiple devices simultaneously.
Who can get this?
New Sky Broadband customers can order now on our website at sky.com, and existing Sky Broadband customers can order their upgrade later this year.
What Could 1.6Gbps Mean for Your Home?
A connection of up to 1.6Gbps can help support:
Multiple 4K and 8K video streams at once
Large game downloads completing more quickly
Smooth online gaming alongside other household activity
Faster cloud backups and file syncing
Homes with dozens of connected smart devices
Several people working or studying from home simultaneously
As our homes become increasingly connected, having extra capacity can help ensure broadband keeps up with modern lifestyles.
Looking Ahead
The launch of 1.6Gbps broadband gives customers in eligible full fibre areas an even faster option for staying connected.
While not every household will need these speeds today, larger homes with multiple users, connected devices and growing broadband demands may appreciate the extra performance and flexibility.
Would 1.6Gbps be useful in your household? Let us know in the comments below how many devices are connected to your home and what you'd use these speeds for.
