More about Sky Broadband Connect

Sky has extensive coverage across the UK with its high tech home broadband connections, but not everywhere falls into its jurisdiction. If you're living anywhere that does not offer the standard Sky home broadband packages then the Connect deal is your only option. Thankfully it's a good choice for customers who're already subscribing to Sky's satellite TV service and it includes all of the extras that you will need to get online.

Sky Broadband Connect can download at speeds of up to 8Mbps and upload at up to 448Kbps, which is competitive with what other providers will be able to attain at your property. Of course you'll need to be able to make use of this speed and as such Sky has included a 40GB monthly download limit on this package.

For all intents and purposes this will feel like an unlimited service for most average users and it's enough to accommodate plenty of downloading, streaming, emailing and chatting online. This works well in unison with the free wireless router that will let you and your family share the internet without the need for tangled wires running all over the place.

Sky Broadband Connect has many features which will appeal to the avid email user and online communicator. You can register up to 10 email addresses with Sky and you'll have 10GB of space online to store your messages, which should engulf all of your emails with ease. You'll also be able to use the Mail Switcher service to pull in emails from other accounts that you use, so you can get all of your messages in one place.

The Sky Calendar is also part of this service and you can synchronise all of your meetings and events with your mobile so that text messages will update you about an appointment. Sky even has its own instant messaging service called Sky Chat and you can talk to friends and even recall past conversations as they are stored online for future access.

The internet can be a treacherous place, with many cybercriminals and hackers trying to steal your information or just mess with your computing experience by planting a virus on your PC. Sky Broadband Connect helps tackle these issues by giving you a free trial subscription to McAfee's Internet Security Suite, which is a package that will fight spyware and identity fraudsters without impinging on your online activities.

Sky is always on hand to help with any element of this deal via the phone helpline or its website, so technical support is never far away.

It makes sense to get your broadband and digital TV from the same company because you'll usually be able to make a saving each month and keep the bill payments easier to manage. Sky Broadband Connect is open to most UK customers and it's a well rounded package that should remain competitive over the 12 month minimum contract.
