Hello, in need of techhie advice! We currently have superfast with sky plus a couple of boosters around the house. Our internet is CRAP. Slow, up and down, cant connect half the time, doesnt reach the whole house. So we want to upgrade to Full Fiber as its just been installed on our lane. Sky sayng they cant do this yet but Plusnet can. So I want to move over to plusnet. My questions are:
1. Will the sky boosters work with a plusnet router or shall i just try a whole new system - like a mesh system (if so any recs on one - biggish house, thick walls, needs to also reach an outbuilding about 15m away)
2. Will sky Q all still work with a differnet provider.
3. Thinking of getting sky glass in the future, will this work ok with a diff provider.
Thank you!

Sky wireless boosters are not really up to distributing 500Mbs or Gigabit 'Ultrafast'
2. Will sky Q all still work with a differnet provider.
Yes
3. Thinking of getting sky glass in the future, will this work ok with a diff provider.
Yes
