Sky Connect, Sky’s B2B telecoms business, today announced the launch of its Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) service, providing small businesses with an ultrafast, ultra-reliable and ultra-flexible broadband connection. 

Understanding that small businesses are more reliant on the speed and the reliability of their broadband connection than ever before, Sky Connect’s FTTP service will deliver consistent speeds with flexible options, even during peak times, that are 10 times faster than the UK’s average fibre broadband speeds.

Small businesses will benefit from Sky Connect’s most reliable connection straight to their door, ensuring day-to-day business operations won’t be disrupted. With increased reliability alongside faster speeds, customers will be able to use more devices concurrently from payment services to security cameras online at the same time.

A choice of three Sky Connect FTTP packages are available - Advantage, Ultrafast Pro and Ultrafast Max - which offer combinations of the below features:

• Speed Flex- Giving small businesses control to flex their speeds whilst in-contract as their business needs develop.  Speeds can be boosted up to 500Mb and back down again, as and when required.
• UK-based dedicated account managers- Based on our recent study 61% of small businesses[i] like the idea of personalised account management to overcome perceptions of business disruption caused through switching. That’s why we’ve introduced dedicated account managers to support customers during every step of their FTTP journey, from purchase to installation
• 30-day money-back guarantee- should businesses not get the speeds they need. Enabling them to switch with confidence.
• Price guarantee- Promising no package price rises for customers during the initial term contract.
• 4G back-up and security- Keeping businesses on their feet in case of a broadband outage and offering protection from online threats.
• No premium pricing- All FTTP packages have the same monthly contract price as Sky Connect’s current fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) packages.
• Flexible & fair contracts- 12, 24 and 36-month contract terms available, at no impact to the package rate, alongside a no-hassle cancellation policy.
• Unlimited phone calls- through Sky Connect’s digital phone service included as standard with all broadband packages, with 24 inclusive features to ensure our customers never miss an important business call.
