Sky Broadband has unveiled Wi-Fi Max, its relevant Wi-Fi package yet. Ideal for modern connected homes, it comes with the Max Hub, which uses Wi-Fi 6 technology to provide Wi-Fi. This is backed by the UK’s Wi-Fi guarantee, of any provider, as well as the UK’s advanced network security.

Available to add now for new and existing Sky Broadband customers from just £10 (€11.65) per month. It comes with a Wi-Fi Guarantee of up to 25Mbps, meaning customers will be able to stream in Ultra HD (high-definition), game and work in every room, or get their money back. 

Sky Broadband’s relevant hub 

The new Max Hub uses intelligent cloud optimisation to give users better connection yet, adapting and developing the flow of traffic to each device, offering Wi-Fi coverage wherever customers are at home. 

It’s partner for streaming products like Sky Stream and Sky Glass, which also use Wi-Fi 6 technology to enable buffer free entertainment. 

Amber Pine, managing director, broadband and connectivity, Sky Broadband, says, “A modern, busy household needs Wi-Fi to be more powerful and more reliable than ever, so customers can stream, game, or use multiple devices at once without any hassle. With Wi-Fi Max’s speed guarantee of up to 25mps in every room, customers can relax knowing time online will be seamless, safe and without stress.” 

Stay protected online with maximum security 

Wi-Fi Max offers advanced security, protecting every device connected to the network. From smart doorbells and cameras to your personal laptops and mobiles, everything is protected by the latest in artificial intelligence to detect and block threats. All connected devices are monitored in real time to alert customers to security threats as they happen via the MySky App. This is the UK’s advanced network security from a major broadband provider. 

More control over Wi-Fi 

Wi-Fi Max offers customers more control over Wi-Fi usage in the home. Devices can be organised on the MySky App, and Wi-Fi access to individual devices instantly paused with the tap of a button, from anywhere.

For families, the intuitive MySky app allows parents to schedule in Wi-Fi breaks to help with time away from screens, leaving more room for family time. 

Built for entertainment 

Customers can stream and game with ease in Ultra HD in any room of the home, when combining Wi-Fi Max with ultrafast broadband. Up to three free Max Pods are available that can, if required, extend Wi-Fi coverage so that every corner of the house is covered. 

As well as this, Wi-Fi Max customers also get access to Wi-Fi engineer visits where needed meaning they can get a call-out at a time that suits them, even at evenings and weekends. 

Max hubs are set up at home, with the MySky App allowing for connection to all devices.
