Skyway Business Fibre Compared to TELUS PureFibre™
Not all Fibre is created equal. Sure, TELUS PureFibre™ is great for residential use. But watching movies at home isn’t the same as managing a business network. Businesses depend on sufficient, stable and secure bandwidth for real time communication with customers, employees and cloud services without downtime.
Upgrade that TELUS residential-grade service to Skyway business class, by adding our IP and management tools to your existing TELUS contract or included with Pure Fibre provided by Skyway.
Our Skyway Managed Pure Fibre — when combined with SD-WAN Failover, Multiple IPs per MAC Address per Port, Policy Routing and QoS — provides many of the benefits of Dedicated Fibre at a much lower cost. See the table below.
- Multiple IPs per MAC Address per port allow more then one IP address to be assigned to a single device. For example, a single firewall can use 2 different IP addresses, one IP for port forwarding web traffic to Exchange Webmail and another IP for forwarding web traffic to a web server.
- Direct Peering with independent ISPs and content providers (e.g., connect to Microsoft 365 and Azure in Vancouver).
- Moveable IPs allows IP address transfer between sites and providers.
- Availability SLA with Failover.
- Free DNS Firewall powered by CIRA compares every outgoing query and response to a block list of IP addresses known for hosting malware. Blocks botnets, malware and optional content filtering.
