Switching from Vodafone Cityfibre to Sky Cityfibre - Same Installation?

[caledoniain]

Hi all. Can anyone confirm whether Sky and Vodafone use the same ONT for their CityFibre installations? Obviously the routers will be different but is the CityFibre connection into the property exactly the same? I have been with Vodafoine for a couple of years on CityFibre but my contract is ending and their renewal prices can't compete with Sky, even with some extra bill credit offered.

However, I'd really rather avoid having more holes drilled in my external walls and having yet more wall boxes mounted. Will the installation of Sky on the CityFibre network just plug straight into the same ONT as the one previously installed for Vodafone?

Thanks in advance for any help.

@caledoniain Check the sky web site, if the package offered has symmetrical speeds then you will be on the CF connection, sky does not have all the rights in place where CF is supplied, ONT is the same no need for it to be changed!

Thanks @JimM1  - appreciate the info re. the ONT. Should hopefully make for a very simple installation.

The speeds on offer are not quite symmetrical but they're close enough that I'm pretty sure I'm being offered a CityFibre connection rather than OpenReach (904-951 Mbps down, 787-947 Mbps up).

If I put in my next-door neighbour's address (they haven't had a CityFibre connection to the cabinet wired in yet) Sky shows maximum speeds of 67 Mbps down and 7 Mbps up, so they are presumably still on OpenReach whilst we are being offered CityFibre.

That seems reasonable to assume, right?

@caledoniain Correct would look totally CF FF connection!
