Sky Broadband has launched a new television commercial featuring actor Michael Caine, following on from previous adverts featuring Jenifer Aniston, Bruce Willis and Al Pacino. Sir Michael plays himself as a prospective buyer touring a lighthouse where the wifi signal just won’t stretch far enough. An astute estate agent outwits her partner and seals the deal by informing Sir Michael of Sky’s superior reach using a free wifi booster, while her bungling colleague hangs off the balcony searching for a better signal on Sir Michael’s tablet.
