SACO, The Serviced Apartment Company, gives business travellers hyperfast connectivity

SACO, The Serviced Apartment Company, gives business travellers hyperfast connectivity

September 28, 2017

SACO, one of the UK’s leading providers of serviced apartments, is offering its customers access to the fastest broadband speeds in the UK – symmetrical 1,000Mbps gigabit broadband, which they can log onto as soon as they enter the property. 

Hyperoptic, the UK’s largest residential gigabit broadband provider, is enabling the connectivity. Its services are already live in many of SACO’s properties across London, including SACO The Cannon, Leman Locke and Fitzrovia. Installation is also taking place across its portfolio of serviced apartments throughout the UK, in: Birmingham, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Farnborough, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham and Reading. 

Hyperoptic is setting the industry gold standard for fibre broadband in the UK. As the company installs its fibre all the way into the building, it can enable symmetrical gigabit speeds of 1,000Mpbs. At over 27x faster than the average speed a UK consumer receives today, gigabit broadband from Hyperoptic revolutionises the way business travellers can use the Internet – files can be uploaded in seconds and video conferencing is seamless. 

For those travelling on business, broadband speeds can make or break their stay. According to a study by Netgear, 67% of business guests say they would not return to a hotel that offered inadequate broadband service. In a similar survey by Hotels.com, 49% of business travellers claimed that free Wi-Fi was their deciding factor when it came to their choice of accommodation.

Ben Harper, SACO’s Commerical Director: “We pride ourselves on giving business travellers the best travel experience in the market. Achieving this means going beyond words and giving our customers a true point of difference. We knew that access to hyperfast broadband speeds would delight our customers, so we chose to partner with the company that is synonymous with the fibre gold standard. We do not charge our residents extra to access the WiFi – so they can start streaming and surfing as soon as they walk into their apartment.” 

Darren Shenkin, Business Development Director, Hyperoptic, adds: “By servicing the whole of SACO’s UK portfolio, we can ensure that its customers are getting the same, consistent hyperfast service, no matter which SACO apartment they choose to stay at.”
