Do I need BT line for Sky Broadband
SKY use ADSL2+ and ADSL/MAX to provide their broadband products and they all run on BT copper so yes you need a BT phone line for SKY broadband. You do not need a BT line for connecting a SKY box to the phone system, a VM phone line is fine. No reason you couldn’t keep the VM broadband and phone and have SKY for TV.
Can you have BT broadband and Sky TV
BT’s broadband deals include access to BT Sport on Sky, so you don’t need to take out BT TV to get it. However you do need BT broadband to get BT TV. Sky does offer TV-only packages via satellite, although you would have to pay an extra subscription for BT Sport.
Is BT the best broadband provider
With BT Superfast Fibre, you get a BT Smart Hub (as you do with BT Business broadband packages) – genuinely one of the best routers you can get with a broadband package right now. It’s not nearly as impressive as the Smart Hub, but it’ll do just fine for ADSL, and it’s better than some that come with cheaper providers.
