@Gordy0199 you can move your hub to another room simply by running a longer ethernet cable from the ONT unit to the hub. You do nit need a special cable ant dtandard cat5e or better lead can be used up to 100m.

 

Getting the ONT moved as well is more complicated and has to be done by an Openreach or Sky engineer and there are practical limitations as fibre cables are more delicate than copper cables. Sky are likely to charge for the work.
