Sky Digital customers can begin registering for Sky Broadband from noon, with sales due to begin early next month.
The pay-TV broadcaster is offering three Sky Broadband packages as part of its key strategic move into the high-speed internet market.
Base is the "free" option, providing a 2Mb speed service and monthly usage of 2Gb to Sky customers for no extra monthly fee.
For £5 a month Sky Broadband's Mid package offers 8Mb speed and 40Gb monthly usage, while the Max offering gives customers 16Mb and unlimited monthly usage for £10 a month.
Base subscribers will have to pay a one-off £40 connection fee and £50 for home installation. For Max customers the connection fee is £20, while Max subscribers get connection and home installation for free.
Subscribers to all three Sky Broadband packages will have to sign up for a £5 monthly payment to Sky Talk, which also requires a BT line rental but offers unlimited UK landline calls.
Sky Digital customers who are outside the current reach of the Sky Broadband network will be offered the Connect package, which provides the equivalent to the Mid offering but for £17 a month.
