Sky is providing the internet access as your company wants to put these activities on a secondary virtual network so is an argument between sky and the company: What if that virtual network was being used for criminal operations for example; would you not also just have a blanket policy of saying NO to everybody ?

(Disclaimer; is highly theoretical...)

The Sky Broadband discussed in this forum is a domestic service and so Sky will not provide business to business support.

There's a known incompatibly between the Sky deployment of 8:1 Map-T on the Sky Max Hub and some VPN infrastructure installed by IT departments for working from home.
