I am a new Sky Broadband customer, box is missing a black cable, I have a twin port open reach box, only received cable.

@Mel1605 What broadband service did you order from sky? If you are getting a FF service and waiting on an install you may have the correct one, model of the unit sent is on the cardboard packaging.

Re: New Broadband, Missing a Black Cable
Thanks for your reply, sorry new to Sky, not sure what FF Service is, doesn't sound familiar. I have requested broadband and calls service. Watching on the online help it says if I have a black label on the back of the modem I need a black and a grey cable. Only received grey cable, that is plugged in and it says somethings wrong. Impossible to speak to anyone to simply ask if they can send a black cable, not going well!

Re: New Broadband, Missing a Black Cable
@Mel1605 Going to copy the setup link, use the landline version as it supplies the more details. FF is Full Fibre to the home as described by sky FTTP service, FTTC partial fibre is delivered to an openreach master telephone socket via copper wire, if you are in a Fibre area, then it is forced to have a FF install, there is NO choice in the matter. See the link first pay attention to the Master socket and the ONT for Fibre...
