Who are Sky Ireland?
Sky is one of the most recognizable brands in Ireland and the UK. The company is part of the huge Comcast NBCUniversal family and has been delivering hi-tech entertainment for over three decades.
One of the most trusted names in reliability and continuity of service, the Sky Group launched the UK's first satellite TV service in 1989 including the first ever 24-hour news channel in Europe.
Innovative Technology
Sky Movies soon followed bringing innovative on-demand content to UK screens and Sky Sports followed in 1991 with live coverage of Premier League football for the first time.
By 1998 the once fledgling provider was delivering over 140 channels with high-quality digital satellite technology making it a leader in British telecommunication, news, and media.
This is also the year Sky TV came to Ireland.
In 2006 the now household name and international brand introduced Sky Broadband into the UK and has provided uninterrupted service since then.
The Sky Group is continually innovating with a long list of firsts in Ireland and the UK including the first scoreline for live football technology, the first digital TV, the first pause, rewind, and record TV, and many more.
Award Winning Service
The provider took gold in the 2022 Choose Broadband awards and Sky Ireland won the Switcher.ie Best Broadband Bundle in 2023.
New and existing customers can look forward to being a part of their ongoing drive to stay not only up to date with the latest technology but also stay ahead of the curve.
What is Sky Stream?
Sky Stream is Sky TV and Broadband made easier than ever. All you need is a wifi enabled TV puck, provided by Sky to instantly enjoy the full range of your choice of Sky TV bundles, as well as a huge range of content apps including the RTE Player, Amazon Prime Video, Discovery+ Disney+ and many more.
In the past, you needed a satellite dish and box with a visit from a Sky TV engineer to set everything up. With Sky Stream, all that is gone, and switching over to a whole new world of streaming content couldn't be simpler.
You can enjoy all of your content on any device and from any room in the house. If you already have a Sky satellite dish and box you won’t need them anymore and the engineers will remove and dispose of them for you.
Is Sky Broadband For You?
If you love Sky TV content then choosing Sky as your broadband provider is a no-brainer. No other company can offer you the range of Sky TV entertainment packages as part of your broadband deal. It's as simple as that.
For those who love sports, particularly fans of the English Premier League, there is little reason to choose another provider. Sky offers pay-per-view exclusives and has by far the lion's share of live televised coverage of top-flight games across the season.
But great sports, news, and entertainment TV aren't the only reasons to choose this market leader. There's lots more to make Sky Broadband a truly great choice.
With a comprehensive range of options to suit all budgets, Sky offers competitive deals that allow you to mix and match add-ons.
Optional extras include Netflix, Sky Glass 4K Smart TV, Sky Live interactive camera for Sky Glass, the Sky Stream Wi-Fi enable TV puck, the Sky Q Satellite TV with further innovations constantly in the development pipeline.
If you have an existing Netflix service your account is easily ported over and where available you will enjoy lighting fast download speeds of up to 1Gbp/s.
