Fibre upgrade
Sky have arranged for Open Reach to call on me next week to install full fibre to my land line. Sky posted a new router to me today. When I get the router do I connect it straight away or wait for Open Reach to come and do their work?

Re: Fibre upgrade
@vanmunchen you can connect the new router to an existing Sky partail fibre service if you want and it will work.

Actually, having received the router, the box label gives me an activation date.
