Broadband packages

Am researching shifting broadband provider. Can't make any sense of whether Sky will support a change and support my existing land line

If Ultrafast speeds are available, that indicates provisioning will be over FTTP.  This would mean no copper 'landline' is involved, with Sky bundling a voice service over VOIP.

Note that no Openreach ISP now provisions on copper if full fibre is available at an address.

Thanks for that, Timmy. We do now have FTTP and 150MB service, but a landline inparallel, mainly for a bunch of aged relatives who can't handle WhatsApp or similar. What I don't know is how VOIP will be brought in and whether a  "look and feel" equivalent to a land line service will ever arrive. I suppose so, or  a large number of folks will be disenfranchised. Meanwhile,  It's looking as though my options to switch are extremely limited.
