The Brief
As the UK faced the onslaught of lockdown, people across the country were asked to stay at home. With nowhere to go, the nation’s demand for broadband surged, with usage doubling practically overnight; upending how we work and play from home.
Sky Broadband wanted to showcase their high speed broadband network’s ability to serve the nation during this trying time.
