Part Fibre Sky Broadband
We have received this text saying they are from Sky (but it is just a plain mobile number) saying the broadband network in our area is being upgraded as part of the national copper switchoff. We're offering this switch to Parkt Fibre - Sky Broadband Superfast at no extra cost and with change to your broadband contract ensuring no disuption to your current Broadband and Talk Service.
Is this legitimate text - or a scam? I have tried as in the text to search for more information on the website but the website is so confusing and I cannot find what I need.
It would be lovely to speak to a human being rather than going round and round with your automated lady. Very frustrating. Please can you advise,

Re: Part Fibre Sky Broadband
It sounds legitimate to me, but Part Fibre aka FTTC isnt generally used as much now as is being replaced with FTTP full fibre, if youre unsure then just call up Sky and ask them and im sure theyll be able to explain. Im guessing youre on copper ADSL at the moment ?
Sky Full Fibre 500mbps

Re: Part Fibre Sky Broadband
FTTC is what I'm having installed on the 15th so I'm presuming I've got copper to the cabinet now.
