All three of this deals are listed as being "available until 28/05/2025", which means they're set to disappear in days.
And they're all fibre internet deals.
"Full fibre broadband, also known as FTTP (fibre to the premises) and FTTH (fibre to the home) delivers broadband directly into your home via the ultra-fast fibre optic cable," Sky explains.
"No cabinet, no copper cables, no sharing internet with the neighbours.
WHAT IS THE SKY SPEED GUARANTEE?
Here's the official word from Sky...
"If the download speed to your hub drops below your guaranteed minimum download speed for three consecutive days or more, you will have the right to leave your Sky Broadband and Talk contracts without incurring early termination charges," Sky said.
"You can also upgrade your broadband product without any upfront fees.
"Sky fibre customers can also claim money back under this speed guarantee by calling Sky.
"You must be within your minimum term and can claim once within it.
"Money back will be one month's Sky Broadband subscription, minus any discounts or offers, credited to your Sky account.
"This excludes Sky Talk and any Add-Ons like McAfee, Broadband Boost or WiFi Max."

"It's ultra-reliable broadband for the busiest homes. Streaming, downloading, video calls, gaming. All at the same time."
This is in contrast to more traditional fibre broadband, which is called FTTC or fibre-to-the-cabinet.
This is when broadband would come to a cabinet in your are via a fibre optical cabre.
But then it would only be delivered into your home via copper wire, which means much slower speeds.

So full fibre broadband is much better at getting the fastest speeds into your home.
