Hi all

I've checked TopCashBack to see if I can get anything for an upgrade from my Sky Broadband (the unlimited one) to Sky Fibre but I can't work out if I will or not.

Can anyone clear it up for me?

    The below offers are for Existing Sky Customers who wish to upgrade. If you are a New Customer wishing to join Sky TV, please use the New Sky Customer Page

    Says £101 for Sky Fibre Unlimited

    So I say yes you will get it, its not stated as a upgrade as its a BT Infinity resell, where Sky products under Fibre would be a upgrade on Sky's own LLU - it is confusing for mr average & they should make it clearer.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Thanks for the reply. I'm currently using Sky's LLU so I'll be moving to a wholesale product by BT?

    Yes BT Infinity is resold as Talk Talk Fibre & Sky Fibre amoungst others,
    BT monopoly all over again !

    Good thing though is faults will be send direct to BT Wholesale/Openreach from Sky which can be a lot quicker than any LLU fault diagnoses team at Sky.

    I had TT Fibre, great product, s*it company (please excuse my french but it is warrented! lol)

    I'm fine with BT having the monopoly if it means I finally get rid of my 1.5mb speeds!

    Not the case.

    The access is sold by OpenReach from the exchange to the home - this is the same for all FTTC users.

    At the exchange however SKY LLU customers will connect on to Sky's network/equipment and like wise for Talk Talk. If you are with a non-LLU ISP then they will use the same wholesale network but will often have a dedicated network at some point for aggregation to the interest.
