Sky Broadband Ultrafast 1 to Full Fibre Gigafast - drilling?

Hi, I currently have Sky Broadband Ultrafast 1 with the Sky broadband hub.

 

Full Fibre Gigafast has just become available for me.

 

If I enable Full Fibre Gigafast, will they need to come and connect fibre and drill into my home?

 

Thanks

It does say the below, but I don't understand if they need to pull any wires from the street to my house and run cables along the driveway? Do you know?

 

Step 1: Connection box installation
An Openreach engineer will attach a small connection box to your external wall. You won’t need to be at home for this step.

Step 2: In-home installation
A Sky engineer will come to your home. They’ll install a new socket and fibre cable inside your home, near a power supply.

Is that hub an sr204 g.fast hub or sr203.

 

If your ultrafast is via an sr204 then you would need a visit

It's SR204. Does that mean the engineer needs to run the fibre from the street, alomng the driveway to the house and drill? @cookiemonsteruk

Once mdu shows on an install multiple dwelling unit the internal work should already be done

Thank you @cookiemonsteruk yes the building already had Sky wired in.

 

 So apologies for asking again, what will they actually have to do upon installation?

The change from g.fast to ful fibre will hopefully just involvd drilling thru into your accommodation to bring the fibre in
