Full fibre available - not according to sky

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

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.
