A question about : Sky Fibre Unlimited

Hi all

I currently have normal Sky Broadband and achieve a maximum of 4mb download speed therefore potentially looking at upgrading to Sky Fibre which I can get half price (Ј10) for 6 months.

Does anyone have any experience of Sky Fibre? What sort of speed should I expect?

I currently get my BB free of charge so need to justify the extra Ј20 per month.

Cheers

Best answers:

  • Have you checked to see if your local box has been upgraded?
    I got 4mb with my standard BB and now get 73mb on fibre (Plusnet) But should be the same with Sky.
    It depends on how close you are to the local box and the condition of the wire between it and your home.
  • Use the line checker on the Sky or BT OR sites and it will tell you the likely speed your line can support with FTTC-no one on here can tell you that. Sky FTTC is provided by BT, so any fibre provider on that line should give you the same speed, be it Sky, TT, Plusnet or BT.
    Only you can decide if you need more than 4MBps and if the extra is worth it. But I'd be surprised if you can't triple your current speed (assuming that FTTC is available on your street cab or course).
  • We switched from BT Infinity to Sky Fibre and get 29Mbps or thereabouts. The connection seems better with Sky compared to BT but that could also be down to the new moden/router supplied by Sky.
  • Had no problems with Sky fibre always had above 30Mbps but I'm not too far from an Exchange. I'm in process of leaving as they are twice as much as BT if BT honour the offer. It's Ј10 per month with BT sky have bang theirs to Ј20 a month now. Just hoping BT are as good
  • Yep, I have BT Infinity 2. The product is amazing - but when something goes wrong, whether that be with your connection, billing, whatever, the customer services are diabolical. I said as much to the executive level compaints chap who was dealing with my billing issue.
