synchronous upload speed possible?

maori_nerd — Thu, 28 May 2026 11:43:03 GMT

Hi all,

I'm looking to get a sky tv/broadband bundle and the 900Mbps version which says is full fibre. My concern is they quote upload speeds of 100-200Mbps.
I do a lot of mulit platform live streaming and wonder is it possible to getsynchronous upload.

I am currently on BeFibre and get 960Mbps up and down. (they don't do telly though)

Thanks for any clarity!

@maori_nerd It's likely BeFibre are using the CityFibre Network as thats not possible on the Openreach network.

When you do a searrch on your postcode with Sky waht packages does it show? Feel free to post an image of the results.

@maori_nerd It looks like BeFibre may be using their own network where you are, if you had CityFibre Sky would have been able to offer similar up & down speeds as BeFibre.

In the absence of CityFibre infrastructure in your location, Sky cannot offer anything like that service. On the national network Openreach/BT Wholesale has always specifically reserved symmetric connection for their lucrative business-grade leased-line products, so these are unavailable to ISPs at any realistic domestic customer price-point.

BeFibre is an altnet that has an infrastructure co-hosting deal with Openreach.
