Thousands of hotspots for broadband customers

2 February 2012

Sky Broadband Unlimited is wonderfully convenient. It has unlimited usage which means that everyone in your home can upload as many pictures or download as much music as they like.

You can also use it to connect to Sky Anytime+, our on-demand service, so you can enjoy your favourite movies and TV shows whenever it suits you. There’s never a worry that you’ve used up your monthly data allowance.  

Actually, there is one limitation: the four walls of your home. Right now you can’t use your unlimited broadband connection when you go out.

But soon, you’ll be able to stay online when you’re out and about, as we’ll be launching ‘ WiFi Hotspots from the Cloud’ to our Sky Broadband and Connect customers.

It will mean seamless and easy access to over 10,000 Cloud WiFi hotspots across the country, in places like Wagamama, Caffe Nero and Pizza Express. What’s more, you won’t have to pay any extra fee for it: it’s free for Sky Broadband Unlimited and Connect customers.

The service will be really simple to use with specially designed Apps for Android and iPhone to help you find your local hotspot.  Once you’ve registered, they’ll also connect you automatically whenever you’re in a Cloud hotspot.

It’s all part of our effort to make sure you get maximum value from your Sky Broadband service. In fact, we’re expanding our Sky Broadband network so more and more customers can benefit from Unlimited usage. Currently the Sky network covers 83% of UK homes and by the middle of next year, we expect to reach a million more new homes.

In April we’ll also be adding Sky Broadband Unlimited Fibre to our product portfolio. You can register your interest in this product here.
