sky essentials with own broadband

[PAISLEYALD]

Do you need to have sky broadband to downgrade to sky essentials.

I can't see anything online that states you do but did read on another forum someone was told no unless had broadband as well

TV Essentials and Essential Broadband are different products, which have sometimes been co-sold as Sky Essentials.  It should be possible to have either by itself.

I believe Sky has now dropped the Essential branding from broadband products: the lowest mainstream tier is now Superfast 35 (except in the very rare locations where only ADSL is available)

Obviously Sky might well encourage (and incetivise) broadband switching during a conversation about TV Essentials, but can't insist on it.
