Sky FTTP Router/Hub

Is there any recent update on when Sky are going to provide a Wifi6 hub to FTTP customers who have Sky Q ?

Seems very strange that the WiFi Max hub has been out so long and more customers are signing up each day to FTTP Ultrafast packages yet they cannot get the speeds they pay for wireless as Sky won’t provide the Max Hub if you have Sky Q.
 
You aren't paying for purely a "wireless" connection though. There is nothing to stop you achieving the full speed over a wired connection.

Agreed, that is a bit of a mess though.
 
If you have a spare lan port there should be nothing to stop you connecting an alternative access point to the Sky supplied router.

I do think Sky are making a critical error in making their WiFi 6 router, which is now also out of date with WiFi 7 kit launching, a premium add-on - particularly when every other ISP worth its salt can bundle in WiFi 6 capable kit by default. But then Sky have never been cutting edge when it comes to consumer routers, they've often always been behind.

I suppose it depends on what connection you want. My dad has Sky FTTP, but only wanted 150Mbps as he's basically only web browsing and e-mail and sometimes streams. For a single person household with his use case, their WiFi router supplies the full 150Mbps where he needs to use it. It'd be pointless for him to upgrade though as where he uses his computer it is awkward to get it wired up, so I'd have to deploy a 3rd party access point...
