Re: Considering upgrade to fiber
@Stephenward45 assuming you currdntly have a Sky Broadband hub - the upright black model - there is no guarantee Sky will replace it with the newer and potentially faster Sky Max hub shich is white. Both hubs comfotably handle cconnection speeds up to 900Mb/s over Ethernet although the black hub tops out around 650Mb/s over WiFi as it is a WiFi5 device while the white hub supports WiFi6.
The black hubs support Sky Q so are a better match if you have those TV boxes, the white hub doesnt so there are compromises in the way tge TV boxes work. If you definitely want the white hub you caan get one by adding Sky's WiFi Max package to your order but be careful what you wish for as thec**bleep**e hubs are evdn more locked down than the model you currently have. .
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
