Did sky ever go ahead with allowing us to actually change our DNS servers (while having to turn off IPV6) as reported by ISPReview in 2019?

@Aurynfire No problem changing your dns servers away from sky's offering but it's still done per client & not a router option!

Tom...

Sky want us to believe in better
BELIEVE =accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.
BETTER = of a higher standard, or more suitable, pleasing, or effective than other things or people:

Sky Q & 2 mini’s
SR203 router. > Replaced with ASUS XT9’s with a TP-Link TD-W9970 modem
Sky superfast 80/20 :sort of, 63-75/15. Devolo 1200 wifi > Replaced with cat 6
Sony KDAF8 65 oled.

Nope, not in the Hub - you'll need to change it on each device or swap out to a different router.

Or set up an alternative DHCP server on RPi or similar device.

@Collyrobbo

Yes, each device as the DNS is locked down on the Sky Hub.

Wish there was a DECT wireless handset that runs from a sim that I could use so my old man could keep using the phone while I could switch away to a better router. * I could have the sky calls redirected to the mobile number *

So why does sky lock down access to the router dns settings ?
