Compare Sky broadband bundles and TV deals.
Sky is a triple-play provider, offering broadband, TV and home phone packages.
You can pick the broadband bundle you want, or choose Sky TV as a standalone plan.
All Sky broadband deals include Sky phone line rental and come with a talk plan, which you can upgrade to include Anytime or International calls. The cheapest Sky broadband and phone package is the Sky Broadband Superfast & Talk Freetime.
If you’re thinking of bundling your Sky services, there are plenty of options. One of the best value bundles is the Sky Signature with Sky Broadband Superfast & Talk Freetime plan, which has unlimited fibre broadband with speeds of up to 100Mb.
If you don’t need your broadband and home phone with Sky, but want their TV, Movies and Sports channels, a standalone TV package could be for you. You can mix and match to create your perfect TV bundle, so you only pay for the TV you want to watch.
It’s the name of Sky’s basic TV package that comes with:
You don’t have to have Sky broadband in order to enjoy Sky Signature, but you’ll need a satellite dish to be installed at your property by a Sky engineer in order to connect to the service.
You’ll also get a Sky Q box which allows you to:
Once you’ve signed up, you can download the Sky Go app on your mobile, tablet and laptop, and watch your top TV picks while on the move.
There’s an epic number of top films and shows to keep the whole family entertained all year round. Here’s a taste of what to expect:
You can also feast on 500 box sets like Succession, The Sopranos, The Wire and Game of Thrones, plus access 200 Sky originals like Chernobyl.
Access to all live GAA games are included as part of your Sky Signature package, plus these sports channels:
If this isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite, you can add on Sky Sports or Sports Extra, for a wider choice of sports and coverage.
If you get the Sky Ultimate Pack as well as all the benefits of the Sky Signature package, you’ll also get Netflix Basic.
This package lets you stream the full range of Netflix films and programmes on one device in SD.
To upgrade to Netflix Standard which lets you watch your programmes on two devices in HD, you can add the Sky HD pack.
To upgrade to Netflix Premium which lets you watch on four devices in Ultra HD, just add the Sky UHD pack.
If you already have Netflix, you don’t need to cancel it. Sky can move your account across and you should save money by only having one subscription.
You can customise your Sky Signature package by adding on one or more of these extras to suit your viewing preferences:
Sky add-on | Monthly cost |
---|---|
Sky Sports | €20 a month for 6 months, then €40 |
Sports Extra | €17 a month for 6 months, then €34 |

Sky Kids | €8 a month |
Disney+ | €8.99 a month |

If you have Sky TV but your broadband is with a different provider, you could make decent savings by switching to a fibre broadband deal from Sky.
You can bundle your services together with the Sky Broadband add-on for existing Sky TV customers.
Sky offers broadband plans with speeds up to 1Gb, but the speed you can get will depend on the type of connection available in your area and the deal you choose.
Once you’re a Sky customer, it’s worth checking out the Sky VIP loyalty programme which is free to join. You’ll enjoy access to tickets, experiences, tech & more. Here are the four VIP tiers:
If you haven’t signed up for Sky VIP yet, all you need to do is download the My Sky app and sign up using your Sky account number.
You’ll be able to see on the app which tier you fall into, and how to access the various benefits. Plus, you’ll even get a free welcome gift.
If you’re wondering how Sky compares to the other major providers, Sky operates off the eir wholesale broadband network, so their broadband service is similar to what you’d get from eir or Vodafone.
In terms of TV, they all offer the option to tailor a package to your needs but Sky is the only provider that lets you enjoy their TV as a standalone plan.
Switching to Sky is quick and easy. Just choose which plan you’re interested in and fill in a few details, including your address and bank details.
Sky will look for your Universal Account Number, or UAN, which is an eight digit number used by telecom providers to identify phone lines.
Make sure you contact your current provider to ensure you’re free to switch, and give them the required notice so that you’re not charged after you’ve switched.
You’ll be able to arrange a cut-off date with them for service and then you can confirm an installation date with Sky so you experience as little downtime as possible.
Once the switch happens, you can then cancel any Direct Debits with your current provider.
