Moving on from Sky Broadband

A bit of a luddite so bear with me......my contract at Sky has ended so now they want £38 a month for broadband.
I had superfast fibre package so been looking around who offers the same speeds in my area and Plusnet seems best at £26 a month
I am wondering if they need to do anything with the wiring etc at the house or can they just use the existing cable? The socket on the wall has Openreach written on it if that helps...

They won't need to change anything, the connection runs off the same lines, just swap the router over with the one they send.Know what you don't0

That's great thank you, Plusnet seems to have good reviews0

The Sky superfast fibre product is FTTC (copper cable to your house). It might be that the Plusnet product is FTTP (fibre optic cable to your house) which means a new cable run to your premises and a new terminal box inside.
What exactly is the Plusnet package you are looking at?1
