@brianroo17 Fibrus are one of many smaller companies installing fibre networks in specific areas referred to as Altnets these companies either operate their oen consumer services or are tied to a specific internet service providers. The larger ISPs like Sky only offer services over the national Openreach network (BT as was) although Sky have annouced a plan to start using City Fibre who are a large Altnet it is very unlijely they will ever use the smaller local networks likr Fibrus. 

 

Openreach are in the process of upgrading their network to full fibre as and when they cover your street Sky will be able to offer you full fibre this checker will tell you what is planned for yourcaddress https://www.openreach.com/fibre-checker. At some point in the future Openreach will switch iff the old copper network meaning you would have to switch but that is yesrs off. Switching to full fibre should give you a far more reliable connection with the potential for higher speeds if you want them.
