Is there a way to edit what I've written? I do make mistakes sometimes.

ONT ? Optical Network Terminal: the powered Openreach box inside the property which is effectively a 'fibre modem'

Wont my old cable in my house diminish the capability of the fibre (glass?) cable.

FTTP never hits that cable: it becomes obsolete

Can the optical  fibre cable go straight to my router/hub.

No: only to the ONT.  ONT to Hub is over ethernet cable.

@TimmyBGood  I understand now but one last question.

Will my current router/hub still be used ?

If I've read a previous post correctly the fibre optic cable creates it's own hub, or something like that.

I appreciate you putting the pictures up.

FTTP requires either a Sky Broadband Hub (default) or a Max Hub (extra monthly cost)

If you currently have a Q Hub, Sky will ship one of the above as a replacement.

My hub is the far left one, the one that just says 'sky hub'.

My telly box is a sky+ HD

I like that one (even though it's old) because I can recieve the free terrestrial TV channels from my satelite dish.

I've heard that you can't do that with the newer boxes, is that correct?

If you changed to Sky Q you'd need a hybrid LNB to continue getting those channels over the dish. However upgrading your broadband would not require you to change from Sky +HD

Sky tv essentials allows to to record and receive fta satellite channels using a sky q satellite box as per @jamesn123 you'll need to get someone to upgrade to Lnb to hybrid or wideband
