How do I connect my new hub?

[Chris215]

Hello I have received my new broadband hub in post today and I'm just looking to know do I connect it to my old connection box that fibrus set up?

Fibrus is a seperate network primarily working on rural fibre in northern ireland

What connection are you getting from sky

When is your activation date

Almost certainly not: Sky uses the Openreach network (in the UK) rather than optical cable from any altnet.

Putting the address into the BT Wholesale Availability Checker should indicate which provisioning type is applicable.

https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome 

It's the table and the two text lines below it which are most useful.

Remove any personal information (such as the address itself) if you post an image.

I don't have a BT open reach I only have a fibrus setup and my sky broadband is due to be activated tomorrow.

Sky doesn't use fibrus .  If you are getting sky fttp then sky will contact openreach to install an openreach fibre modem ont

Could you follow @TimmyBGood link and post the table and notes after removing your address from the image

Presumably a whole new optical drop cable too, from the nearest Openreach CBT, plus a new CSP and optical pigtail to the ONT.  As far as I'm aware none of the Fibrus infrastructure could be used by Sky or any other Openreach ISP.
