@brianroo17 if you switch to Fibrus they will supply their own routers your Sky hub will probably have to be returned to Sky.

 

The Sky WiFi Max bundle includes a new white hub which is not fully compatable with either Sky Q boxes or Sky's older boosters. Instead it has dedicated pod extendrs which Sky supply where customers cannot get the guaranteed 10Mb/s in every room (that rises to 25Mb/s for fibre customers).  The new system is potentially faster but if as you are stuck on partial fibre increasing top speed from 600Mb/s to over 900Mb/s is pretty irrelevant. In practice if you have a black Sky hub and a boister or Sky Q boxesxwhich currently act as wifi extenders it is not worth upgrading to WiFi Max.
