A partnership between GTC and Sky, collectively offering a unique package of superfast fibre broadband (GTC) and premium TV services (Sky), is due to service homes at a popular new Bellway Homes development in Reading. GTC has been awarded the contract to provide gas, electricity and fibre-to-the-home infrastructure networks on the site, which features a range of homes and apartments. GTC will also run fibre optic cables directly to each home. The new homeowners will therefore have the opportunity to benefit from a market-leading package of premium TV services from Sky and fixed-line home phone and broadband speeds of up to 300Mbps will be supplied by GTC’s fibre optic network. Using a Fibre Integrated Reception System (FIRS) installed by GTC, Sky will deliver premium TV services including Sky+ and HD. The FIRS comprises a central satellite receiver and aerial array which is integral to providing the service and will serve the whole site.
