After a successful trial, 'Sky Broadband' has incorporated the UK's first 100 GB technology in its network. The installation between London and Birmingham will enable reliable, consistent and fast internet service.

Not less than 7,000 kilometres of fiber optic cable was installed in existing tunnels by Sky Broadband to facilitate the provision.

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) solution processes numbering five are planned for 2012.

100 GB DWDM will ensure data transfer at the rate of 7 Tb per second, which is faster than the current network speed by 10 times.

This will enable 4.6 million UK broadband subscribers to view a streamed HD movie simultaneously.

Jon Blumberg of 'Sky Broadband & Talk' assured that Sky's network is capable of handling enormous data rich contents.

Having accustomed to 'Sky Anytime+' and 'Sky Go' the customers, apart from watching normal TV programmes, are concentrating on streaming and downloading, says Jon Blumberg.

The intention of Sky Broadband was to provide entertainment only. But it is already doing much more for the customers, having given importance to network innovations.

The service provider recorded an increase of 683,000 in its customer strength in less than a year.

More than a million subscribers have got their Sky+HD box connected to its broadband network to enable video on-demand provision 'Sky Anytime+.'
