Suitability of SR203 hub for ultrafast broadband

coffeemad — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 17:01:49 GMT

I have just opted to move to Ultrafast broadband following the installing of full fibre in my apartment block. (Activation day is in July, Openreach will be doing the job although it is all on a SKY account) SKY have sent me a conversion kit, this comprises of one ethernet cable. I currently have an SR203 hub, anybody any experience with this set up, or is there a possible upgrade hub available? I could ask SKY but I prefer to rely on the experience of others

Theoretically the Max Hub released last year is the upgrade to the Sky Broadband Hub (2019) as it's WiFi 6 hardware.

I thought they were only been sent out as standard to new sky broadband customers when they take out an fttp connection and not existing sky broadband customers upgrading

I'm saying that's the only 'better' hardware which Sky has, not that it's being supplied in these particular circumstances. It would presumably be available if @coffeemad chose to pay the Max WiFi supplement (and doesn't have Q with more than one Mini box or booster)
