Hi all,
I'm looking to get a sky tv/broadband bundle and the 900Mbps version which says is full fibre. My concern is they quote upload speeds of 100-200Mbps.
I do a lot of mulit platform live streaming and wonder is it possible to getsynchronous upload.
I am currently on BeFibre and get 960Mbps up and down. (they don't do telly though)
Thanks for any clarity!

In the absence of CityFibre infrastructure in your location, Sky cannot offer anything like that service. On the national network Openreach/BT Wholesale has always specifically reserved symmetric connection for their lucrative business-grade leased-line products, so these are unavailable to ISPs at any realistic domestic customer price-point.

Re: synchronous upload speed possible?
@maori_nerd It's likely BeFibre are using the CityFibre Network as thats not possible on the Openreach network.
When you do a searrch on your postcode with Sky waht packages does it show? Feel free to post an image of the results.

@maori_nerd It looks like BeFibre may be using their own network where you are, if you had CityFibre Sky would have been able to offer similar up & down speeds as BeFibre.

BeFibre is an altnet that has an infrastructure co-hosting deal with Openreach.
