Snap review: Sky Fibre

Get it.

Is that snappy enough, do you think? I think you need a little more, you need a link to follow. So let’s say my snap review is this: get it.

Sky Fibre is ultrafast broadband and that link will tell you more about it plus let you check whether it’s on your area. Take a look at BT Infinity too. It’s the same or similar and you may find that only one is available to you. I had a recurring task in OmniFocus for a year that prodded me to check whether BT Infinity was yet available to me and though it isn’t, it was on one of those regular prods that I found Sky Fibre had come.

I’ve always had very slow broadband so if yours is already nippy, maybe you won’t notice the difference so markedly. For many years, I would get calls from different broadband suppliers saying they could get me something like 10Mb/s and I’d go yeah, prove it. They’d type something and go Oh. And I’d say yeah. Tell me about it.

My house is about as far away from the nearest telephone exchange as it is possible to be without actually being on the next exchange along. And that distance, whatever it is, has crippled my broadband.

On a good day, when the wind is in the east and I am the only person on the street using broadband, I could get up to a dizzying 3.6Mb/s. More typically, I got 1.7Mb/s and pitying looks from friends.

We’ve now changed to Sky Fibre and at this very moment we have two Macs, two iPads and two iPhones working away online and my speed here is 20.13Mb/s.

I tell you, it is like when we went from dialup to broadband.

So, seriously, get it.
