Call us on 03337 597 590. Let us know before 3.30pm the working day before your activation date.
Your Sky engineer visit
If you’ve signed up for our Advantage Pro or Advantage Max packages, we’ll send a Sky engineer to your premises. They’ll install your Connection Pro 4G Backup Router and can advise on any questions you may have about your Sky Broadband Hub and Sky Voice Hub. These are sent separately a few days before and you should set them up yourself once we've told you that your service is active.
If you're an Advantage customer, you can also request a visit from an engineer, call us on 03337 597 590. Charges may apply to Sky Contact Centres if you’re not an existing Sky Connect, Sky Talk or Sky mobile customer so please check your provider’s tariff guide.
Your Sky Hubs
We’ll send you a Sky Broadband Hub and Sky Voice Hub before your activation day. But you don’t need to set them up until we’ve texted to tell you we’ve switched on your broadband.
Your business phone number
Usually, you’ll be able to keep your existing business number(s) when you move to Sky Connect. Just let us know your existing number(s) and your phone provider when placing your order.
If we can’t transfer your business number(s) or you want new ones, you’ll get an email or letter with your new number(s). Or sign in to My Account to see them.
Good to know: Order Sky Connect before cancelling with your current provider – we won’t be able to transfer your number(s) if you cancel with them first.
Activating your Sky Connect service
In most cases we can switch on your business broadband without you needing to be in the office if you’ve plugged in your Sky Broadband Hub and Sky Voice Hub beforehand. On your activation date we’ll connect you anytime up to midnight and send you a text to let you know. If we can’t activate your broadband remotely, we’ll book an engineer to install your line.

Working in a commercial building? Phone lines in your building are linked to a telephone distribution point. Make sure your engineer can access it on the day. Ask your landlord or building manager if you're not sure where it is – it might be locked away or somewhere hard to reach.
Your Sky engineer will install your new Connection Pro 4G Backup Router to make sure it’s in the best possible position and properly connected to your Sky Broadband Hub.
Someone over the age of 18 (who can approve any work needed) will need to be at your business premises for the visit slot as well as a few hours after, in case your engineer arrives towards the end of the slot.
Not at the business premises yourself? Try to keep your mobile free in case we need to call you.
If your engineer can't attend for whatever reason, we’ll let you know as soon as we can. We'll send you a text or email when we hear from them, to ask you to book another visit. Unfortunately, we can’t book a new visit until we've sent you this message.
Not heard from us within 24 hours of your missed visit? Contact us on 03337 597 590.
