Full fibre available - not according to sky

[goodegirl]

Sky advises I'm on the fastest speed broadband - city fibre have advised ultra fast broadband now available and other providers can set me up....and cheaper than sky. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere

Full fibre though sky, bt etc etc is up to openreach plans . . City fibre run their own network

Sky, like BT/EE/Plusnet, TalkTalk and others use the national Openreach network, and can only provide FTTP where Openreach has deployed that technology. The target date for 80% coverage is December 2026.

As @cookiemonsteruk indicates, CityFibre and other altnet ISPs use private finance to lay their own infrastructure which only they have access to: this is typically in limited geographical areas with high population density.

If an altnet had coverage in your area then moving to them would be very reasonable decision: note that this isn't a 'switch' under the Ofcom regulated one-touch scheme though, and so you'd need to actually cancel with Sky.
