Internet service provider (ISP) Sky has launched its first ultrafast broadband products to the market, with two packages clocking in at an average speed of 145Mbps and 285Mbps, 12 times faster than its previous fastest offering and undercutting comparable BT services on price.

Running over Openreach’s network using both copper-based Gfast and full-fibre (also known as fibre-to-the-premises or FTTP) delivery technology, Sky’s service will be immediately within reach of about two million homes that were able to access a full-fibre service as of December 2018, according to Ofcom statistics.

Dani Warner, a broadband sector observer at comparison site uSwitch.com, said Sky’s entry into the ultrafast broadband market was an important moment for the industry because it would help drive down the price of full-fibre connectivity.

“Another provider joining the mix will be music to the ears of those looking to upgrade, as increased competition should lead to lower costs in the ultrafast space – and Sky has already undercut BT’s ultrafast offer by £15 a month."
