Can Sky broadband connect to my flat with BT socket?

 

I have this BT socket in my flat, I just moved in. Can I get Sky connection through this ( using open reach) ?

@Vrao777  As Sky uses the Openreach network they should be abkle to provide a srrvice, give them a call.

As long as that's a master socket, yes.

I'm a little bit suspicious about how shiny it is: given it's BT branded rather than BT Openreach or Openreach it's pretty old, but one might expect a master to have had rather more usage.

 

If it is a master (rather than an extension) you'd need to source a micro filter to connect an FTTC router: ISPs don't bundle those any more.

Also worth noting that if you are in an 'FTTP priority' area then Sky will place an order for full fibre when you order a package meaning Openreach will come and bring in a new fibre cable and not use the socket you have takena photo of.
