Does broadband instsllation require drilling into a wall?

[ap122]

Hello! 

I moved into a new flat and would like to get Sky Broadband.

My landlord does not allow drilling into the wall or modifications to the outside of the building, and I have noticed there already is a socket with a "BT" symbol on it, and one port (which I believe is for the phone landline). I believe this is where I plug in the broadband hub once I receive it?

I just don't want to make a contract with Sky, only to find out that the lamdlord won't allow me to install the broadband if it involves drilling.

I tried finding out how to phone Sky but there doesn't seem to be a phone number.

Thank you in advance.

You should post a picture of the socket here 😊

But if the logo is "BT" then most likely a very old phone socket for FTTC. 

Even the recent phone socket I removed from my wall had "Openreach" like this.

If it's in the UK, putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate which broadband provisioning type is applicable.

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.

Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

Hi @Sayek,

This is the socket picture. Would this work for Sky Broadband?

For ADSL, G.fast or FTTC.  It cannot work for FTTP, which is why the results of the lookup I posted a link to above are important.
