I'm looking at changing my current broadband provider from BT and was thinking about Sky. Last year, BT changed my landline to digital and installed the box - picture included - and connected my router to it so I'm assuming I now have full fiber with BT. As BT aren't what you'd call reasonably priced, would I be able to connect another broadband providers router to this box or would I be stuck with BT? I've already spoken to YouFibre who said they would have to install another box as they don't work on the BT openreach network.
That's an Openreach Optical Network Terminal (ONT) that can carry FTTP from any ISP which uses the national Openreach / BT Wholesale network. This includes BT/EE/Plusnet, Sky, Vodafone, TalkTalkand many others.
YouFibre is an altnet ISP which is laying its own private optical infrastructure.

@Dave1976 I did the EE to sky switch in Mar2025, zero downtime and a very Rapid changeover (That does not happen everywhere) but from order to live was 5 day's so OR must have been on there top game, sky was a rush to get the sky Hub out the door asap but it all worked out well with zero problems... Let me say also very happy i am NO LONGER an EE customer, quit them 11 months into the 24....
