Max router ?

PatnaBob — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:19:07 GMT

I am getting upgraded to Fibre100 as copper is getting phased out. There is no charge for this. At present I have a WiFi max 6 router. I pay £10 for this service.
I want to drop the £10 charge when I move to Fibre. The question is will I need to return my max 6 router or will I be able to keep it, as my fibre is getting connected to that.
also would I be able to negotiate a better fibre contract as I reckon I need better than 100.

thanks any advice appreciated

You'd keep the Max Hub but lose Parental Controls and the ability to claim booster pods.

We're only other customers here so you'd have to contact Sky to confirm but the Sky Max WiFi add-on is usually a 24 month contract I think (it comes complete with the Sky Max Hub). They won't (or at shouldn't) send out a new hub, you'll just use an ethernet cable (which may come through the post) to connect the existing Hub to the new ONT that'll get fitted internally. If you have a home phone, it'll connect to the existing hub (which you may already have done so).

They'll always be happy to upgrade and tie you into a new contract although whether there's an acceptable deal available or not is anyones guess.
