You may have heard the term Full Fibre broadband thrown around from time to time, but what exactly does it mean? Well, Full Fibre broadband is a faster and more reliable form of broadband that uses fibre optic cables to connect your home directly to the internet exchange point.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s far more reliable than Standard fibre, which connects from the exchange to your street cabinet and then to your home through older copper cables.<\/p>\n
At Sky, the Full Fibre 100, Ultrafast Plus and Gigafast broadbands are all provided using Full Fibre as standard. The other three packages \u2013 Superfast, Superfast 35 and Ultrafast \u2013 use Full Fibre if it is available in your area.<\/p>\n

What speed of broadband do I need?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
What is a \u2018good\u2019 broadband speed? That\u2019s a bit like asking how long\u2019s a piece of string. The type of broadband speed you need will always depend on what you use it for and how many people are using it.<\/p>\n
Streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime normally require broadband speeds of at least 1.5Mb\/s for SD streaming and 2.8Mb\/s for HD \u2013 although this is for just one device. We\u2019d recommend, as a minimum, looking at speeds of 10Mb\/s, which is fine to carry out basic tasks like emailing and browsing the internet.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a small household \u2013 up to four people \u2013 you can probably get away with speeds of 30Mb\/s to 60Mb\/s, but if you have more, or want a faster connection, a good speed is 100Mb\/s.<\/p>\n
Lastly, there\u2019s gaming. You probably need at least 50Mb\/s for gaming, but we\u2019d suggest going for 100Mb\/s if you want a lag-free experience. However, if you want to game in 4K, UHD or HDR, you might want to go even higher, for instance Sky\u2019s Ultrafast Plus and Gigafast speeds go from a minimum of 400Mb\/s to 900Mb\/s.<\/p>\n
