I’m looking at mesh sky

I have a 5 bed house where the internet isn't very strong and was wondering if mesh would be better with sky than Bt

Probably not: the BT kit is rather good (and all ISP hardware is built to a limited budget)

 

Third party dedicated hardware is likely to be better than either.

@Brentwood121 both companies supply WiFi extenders with BT they used to becdiscs with Sky they supply Pods as part of the WiFi Max add-on see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max I suspect there is not much difference but if there is an edge it would go to BT.

 

However you maybe better off buying a third party whoke home WiFi mesh set up and turning off the WiFi on the isp's router and using that instead. I use a Deco set up with 3 units thst orovides decent speeds (over 200Mb/s) in every room in a 3 level 4 bed house - performance is down to the layout and type of construction of your home. Set up in access pointbmode these systems attach by ethernet to the router. These is a wide choice but systems from TP-Link, Netgear and Asus  are quite configurable wheras some from Amazon and Google are more you get what your given
