The current Hubs from Sky are not Wi-Fi 6. They, like BT are a bit behind on this front; largely down to not being able to acquire the correct chipset for millions of Hubs.

@RJCOD

The WiFi Alliance licences an 'official' marketing label: the IEEE designation is 802.11ax (succeeding 802.11ac)

As @Skull+Treaty indicates, Sky, like BT, does not yet have a WiFi 6 router available to subscribers: press stories suggest the BT release is already six months overdue and unlikely to land any time soon.
