New line to annexe in back garden

[Aaronrose99]

Hi, I am looking to get sky broadband, but I would like it to be wired directly into an annexe building at the back of our garden rather than into the main house. Is this at all possible? Thanks

It's not Sky (or any other ISP) which installs 'lines': that's the remit of Openreach.  Typically they'll want to bring their circuit as far as the first substantive building at the address and not further, simply because their budget for time and materials on any particular individual job is limited.

Is there already a circuit into the main house?

Hello, yes there is already a circuit to the main house, although openreach had our address down as NOT being able to order fibre optic up until today (they are in the process of fixing this on their system and said it will take 3-5 working days)

@Aaronrose99 Openreach will provide one fibre feed to the property which potentially can carry multiple broadband services. If you require connectivity in both the house and your office surely the best solution is to run an Ethernet cable from the house to the office?

That connection could be used to connect a WiFi access point in the office as well as cabled connections to PCs etc. sharing the bandwidth with the house. If you hit an issue at a later date you could order a second line in which case Openreach will change the ONT unit and the cable could be used to link from that to a second router in the office

Sky will not supply 2 broadband services to the same address so you would need to use a different ISP.
