is 'Sky Broadband Superfast' broadband FTTC or FTTP?

I've signed up to the 65MB/s Sky Broadband Superfast  but I just assumed it would be FTTP, that's what I have now with BT. Can somebody asure me that I'm not going to be sorely disappointed when a copper connection is required to get me on the internet next week! I'll have to do a load of rewiring to accomodate that and it will be rubbish.

 

It's actual that clear on the Sky website which packages are FTTC and which are FTTP, obviously the megafast one will have to be FTTP but at the slower end it could be either.

@BigSte If there is an existing or newly installed full fibre connection at the property, Sky will still provision this as Superfast if you choose the cheaper Superfast package, it will just be capped at the same speeds as a copper connection. 

Even Openreach aren't silly enough to go backwards and start re-installing copper lines 😆

@BigSte  If you have a fibre line to the property this is what Sky will use as it's unlikely OR will reinstate a copper line when a fibre line is present.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Our "Superfast" is constantly buffering and other villagers claim the same for Sky.

@Rainey3 

For starters a connection cannot buffer. Buffering is when a stream has to pause to download more content.
