Thinking of Switching to Sky Full Fibre 150

I am a Diamond Sky VIP and currently I have Virgin Media Broadband. Last year VM issued me with a dongle to plug my landline into my VM Hub, (router).

 

The question is, if I decide to switch to Sky Full Fibre 150 can my old VM wall socket be reactivated or will I need a new one installed?

Installation of an Openreach fibre circuit and Optical Network Terminal is required: Sky and all similar ISPs cannot use Virgin Media cabling.

Sky's telephone service is also provided via their router.

@Jim1878 assuming you are in the UK if you order Full Fibre 150 Openreach will have to run a fibre connection from the road into your home and install a ONT unit thst connects to the Sky hub. Sky do not use the Virgin Media network so their infrastructure would be redundant .Full fibre is only available at addresses where Openreach have laid full fibre in the road.

 

Like Virgin Sky provide a digital voice line where a standard phone plugs into the back of the Sky hub.
