Re: Speeds
Assuming that's 50Mbs rather than '50mhz', it easily qualifies as a 'Superfast' broadband service, but not 'Ultrafast'.
"The UK Government defines superfast broadband as download speeds of at least 24 megabits per second (Mbps), while Ofcom (the UK telecoms regulator), and the EU define it as 30 Mbps. The Scottish and Welsh Government also use 30 Mbps."

Re: Speeds
Yes, my bad 50 mb/s but Sky have been "providing" a guaranteed minimum of 100mb/s and it seems that may not be possible at my home . Full fibre broadband has been my contract ( about to expire) .
