Sky conversion kit

I have recently upgraded to ultrafast broadband, openreach have installed the fibre to the property outside, I recieved an email saying my conversion kit would be delivered in 3-5 working days, all I have recieved is an ethernet cable, does the engineer bring the conversion kit when he does the work inside my house?

The conversion kit is an ethernet cable . It overrides the internal vdsl modem by plugging the ethernet port from the ont into lan 4 on the sky hub

 

Your ont looks like this

The conversion is the ethernet cable. Has your fibre optic modem been installed (photo above) when are you being activated?

@Paul1707  Well the ethernet cable is for you to connect to the WAN port which is port 4 on that router. When you go on ultrafast you then take out the rj11 to rj11 that goes into the filter when your ultrafast connection goes active.
