Sky Broadband access

How does Sky Broadband work? I thought it was through an existing phone line but all offers seem to be fibre. Does that men I have to have a cable dug to my house? My BT line is going digital and I can't have any other broadband but them. I am totally confused.

@AnnieFolk If you are on an OR Openreach supply, use the link below to check what the delivery would be, just use your house number and the post code to see, lines like OH means Over Head fed from a pole.... If you are in a CF CityFibre area then different way off doing it all.

Have copied my picture, shows the Old copper connection but NOW on a FF Full Fibre fed from a pole back off the garden, you will see it when it gets approved for general viewing, may take a liitle time for that to happen!

BT Broadband

This is what mine shows....

Why do you say this as you should be able you have broadband from Sky. If you currently have a landline and calls package with BT then you do have a decision to make as you will need to have Broafband and Takk phone services from

the same supplier.
