Hi everyone,
I'm in need of some advice. FTTP has finally become available in my area, and I'm torn between Sky and Vodafone.
I'm looking at the 900mbs packages. Sky is offering it for £44/month, while Vodafone is £46/month. The main difference seems to be the provided router. Sky wants me to use my existing Broadband Hub 4.2 which is a WiFi5 router, whereas Vodafone will provide a new Ultra Hub WiFi6E router and a WiFi6E booster.
I've been a long-time Sky customer and have been happy with their broadband.
Also in the house I have Sky Q with a couple of mini's, I have seen posts about compatibility with Sky’s WiFi6 max hub so I am not sure if this is why Sky won’t provide a new router or if they just don’t want to.
Wired devices will be PS5, PC. Wireless will be 3 TVs, laptop, about 6 apple devices plus a load of cameras, echo etc.
I'm wondering:
Thanks in advance,

I'm wondering:
- Is FTTP generally reliable no matter who the provider is?
- Are there any significant differences between Sky and Vodafone's FTTP services beyond the router?
- Has anyone had experience with either provider's FTTP service and can share their thoughts?
- Is it worth upgrading to a WIFI6 router and booster, or is my existing WIFI5 router sufficient?
Thanks in advance,
