Sky Broadband has been a family name for years now in the Philippines. They are the ones that immediately come to mind when thinking of having stable internet and TV packages, and they are now among the most dependable home connectivity service providers in the Philippines.
But what is Sky Broadband today, 2025? Whose hands is it under, who is operating it, and where can you still find it nowadays?
Everything that is in this guide has all of that — from its origin under ABS-CBN, its promotions today, its plans, and its new foray in the ever-evolving world of Philippine connectivity.
What is Sky Broadband
Sky Broadband is a Philippine telecommunication and Internet service provider offering high-speed broadband internet, digital entertainment, and cable television to residential and small business customers.
It was owned by Sky Cable Corporation, the country’s largest and oldest cable player. Sky Broadband and Sky Cable were brand names for TV-and-internet addict homes under one shared brand name.
Sky Broadband was built to provide Filipino households secure internet access — from basic surfing to online work, streaming, and e-learning.
Ownership of Sky Broadband
Sky Broadband was owned and founded by ABS-CBN Corporation, the same media conglomerate that owns Kapamilya Channel, iWantTFC, and Star Cinema.
It was formerly owned by Sky Cable Corporation, a joint venture subsidiary of ABS-CBN and Lopez Holdings Corporation.
It was the “Kapamilya Internet Provider” for decades — entertaining as well as linking Filipinos through the internet.
Dramatic events have taken place in the past few years that reshuffled its ownership and operations.
What Network is Sky Broadband On Now
Sky Broadband is currently under the ownership of PLDT Inc. as of 2025, following the 2024 acquisition of Sky Cable Corporation by PLDT.
This made the PLDT Group own Sky Broadband, Cignal TV, and Smart Communications.
| Brand | Parent Company | Type | Network |
| Sky Broadband | PLDT Inc. | Fiber Internet Service Provider | PLDT Fiber Network |
| Sky Cable | PLDT Inc. | Cable & Digital TV | PLDT Digital Network |
| Cignal TV | MediaQuest / PLDT | Satellite & Digital TV | Nationwide |
| Smart Communications | PLDT Inc. | Mobile & 5G Network | Nationwide |
Sky Broadband now utilizes the PLDT fiber network in the acquisition, which gives its users quicker speed, better stability, and broader coverage.
The move allowed Sky users to utilize the same company link facilitating PLDT and Smart’s nationwide network.
The Switch from ABS-CBN to PLDT
ABS-CBN, in 2023, swapped its move with PLDT to enable PLDT to acquire the cable and broadband business of Sky Cable.
This was intended to expand the broadband reach of PLDT and offer Sky subscribers uninterrupted.
The deal was made in 2024, and the network of PLDT comprised the Sky Broadband.
Nothing was lost to the consumers — in fact, their service improved. Sky Broadband retained its name and branding but now operates on PLDT’s robust fiber network backbone.
The merger married Sky’s customer experience strengths and PLDT’s infrastructure strength.
Sky Broadband Internet Plans 2025
Sky Broadband continues to provide flexible and affordable internet plans for the family.
| Plan Name | Speed | Best For | Approx. Monthly Price |
| Sky Fiber Plan 200 Mbps | 200 Mbps | Small families and online students | ₱1,499 |
