Broadband connection

HI, I am thinking to connect to SKY broadband.  I live in a newly built house, where only satelite internet can be connected. At the moment I am using a plug in vodafone router with sim card, but want to change it. How can I check If I could connect SKY broadband?

Sky is not a satellite ISP: its satellite service is one-way television broadcast rather that two-way internet access.

 

It would be very unusual to only have satellite internet available unless a property is incredibly remote.

 

Putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate what's available.

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.


Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

That's cellular (3/4/5G) internet, not satellite.  Sky is also not a cellular ISP, although Sky Mobile SIMs do have data bundles available, as one would expect.
