The new package is 25x faster than the average speed of Sky’s Superfast 35 package and offers incredible speeds of 900 Mb/s. It also has a Speed Guarantee of 600 Mb/s, which basically means you can claim a month's subscription back if your speed falls below the minimum average speed.

These impressive speeds come with no usage caps, meaning you can play multiplayer games direct from the cloud with low latency and no delays to your gaming experience. It also lets you quickly download games and buffer large game updates seamlessly.
