What is Sky Muster™ Plus?
Both Sky Muster™ and Sky Muster ™ Plus (available to all Sky Muster™ customers) provide access to broadband services – the key difference is simply how the data is metered.
- With standard Sky Muster™ plans, all data is metered and you have a set amount of data each month.
- With Sky Muster™ Plus plans, you’ll have the additional benefit of unmetered data for activities like web browsing (static images and text only), select emailing and PC and Smartphone operating system software updates – so you can use your metered data for things like streaming your favorite shows and music.
