Full Fibre 500 - What Hub is Provided

[Bigfreddieboy]

Hi there,

I currently have sky tv and Virgin BB, are moving to sky Full Fibre 500 BB and wondered what sky hub will be provided

@Bigfreddieboy As per the current sales pitch you should recieve the Sky Max hub with the FF500 service, it will be documented in the acceptance terms etc, only hold up would be stock issues if not available and then offered the SR203 in it's place!

Thanks JimM1,

My current wifi network is pretty outdated so, the house is on 3 floors we have two pc's and a number of boosters, and of course a few sky boxes. 

So I really need to upgrade to wifi 6 (802.11ax) assumming SR213 , replacing my USD wifi adapters and potentially boosters to, so would like to have that ready for the cut over date, i dont think i can accept the SR203 if they offer it as it would be below spec of any new devices I purchase, thanks again.

@Bigfreddieboy Not on a FF500 connection!

Hi JimM1,

I am currently on VM fibre 125 and its ok.

What makes you say not on a FF500 ?

@Bigfreddieboy The sky SR203 Wi-Fi 5 rated hub is good al the way upto 500Mb/s wireless and higher on Ethernet but the 500Mb/s fibre connection is where it stops, and having sky Q/mini's you would be wise to consider that more than a wi-fi 6 system.
