Sky Fiber cable

As far as Sky Full Fiber is concerned, does Sky use Single mode or multi mode fiber optic cables for the transmission from the local exchange to the household?

Sky doesn't operate any fibre in that way: like the majority of ISPs (including BT) it rents wholesale capacity on the national Openreach network.

 

Only so-called altnet ISPs install their own private optical distribution.

At the household end, the fibre connection is a simplex single-mode OS2 fibre terminated with an SC APC plug.
