Sky vs Virgin Media
This is a provider-level overview, not a “winner” badge. Final eligibility and terms are confirmed by the provider.
Sky
Sky broadband is frequently bought with TV. The broadband line can be switched through One Touch Switch, but Sky TV, Glass and Stream products may need separate action.
Openreach plus selected partner fibre.
Full profileVirgin Media
Virgin Media uses its own cable and fibre network, so availability is street-specific. Speeds can be high; upload on legacy cable is usually lower than full fibre.
Own HFC/FTTP footprint — not Openreach.
