Sky Broadband Ultrafast 1 to Full Fibre Gigafast - drilling?

maxmax — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 14:02:23 GMT

Hi, I currently have Sky Broadband Ultrafast 1 with the Sky broadband hub.

Full Fibre Gigafast has just become available for me.

If I enable Full Fibre Gigafast, will they need to come and connect fibre and drill into my home?

Thanks

It does say the below, but I don't understand if they need to pull any wires from the street to my house and run cables along the driveway? Do you know?

Step 1: Connection box installation
An Openreach engineer will attach a small connection box to your external wall. You won’t need to be at home for this step.

Step 2: In-home installation
A Sky engineer will come to your home. They’ll install a new socket and fibre cable inside your home, near a power supply.

Is that hub an sr204 g.fast hub or sr203.

If your ultrafast is via an sr204 then you would need a visit

It's SR204. Does that mean the engineer needs to run the fibre from the street, alomng the driveway to the house and drill? @cookiemonsteruk

Thank you @cookiemonsteruk yes the building already had Sky wired in.

So apologies for asking again, what will they actually have to do upon installation?
