Lied about full fibre
So we have been with sky for a few years now and we upgraded our internet from super fast to Ultrafast last year. Every since upgrading to Full fibre we have receive many issues starting with fluctuating latency and WiFi signal. We cannot have two devices on at the same time and not expect lag or interference and gaming is basically impossible with Ethernet. From my understanding, Full Fibre is when fibre optic cables are used to connect the user directly to the exchange. From the upgrade we should have received a new open reach master socket right? To allow FTTP but we still run on an old master socket 5c which I don't think is capable of running full fibre. I called sky today and tried to explain all this but the man on line kept shutting me down and giving me alternatives like bring in a technician and he kept saying how our area isn't able to get fibre optic and only able to get fibre to the cabinet. Which is where I am confused on why we have been paying for full fibre for a long time to have fibre copper wires.

No, full fibre would seen been a ONT installed, are you sure this wasn't a gfast upgrade?

This may be what your paying for.
