Switching from BT to Sky

Hi,

I'm looking at switching from BT Full Fibre 900 to Sky Gigafast but curious about speeds before switching. Both are rated at 900Mb/s so will I see identical speeds after switching to Sky, or do the actual speeds received fluctuate based on the ISP?

Thanks
 
For the most part the speeds should be about the same. There will be minor variations though since the internet itself is few from Sky’s own equipment back at the exchange. Things like latency may vary, small speed differences, and if comparing routers then BT routers tend to perform a lot better than the trash that Sky usually give out - And often try to force customers to use too.
 
Line speeds will be the same the only difference will be the ISP networks and their direct links to main content providers.

BT/EE can be too proprietary for some but basic Plusnet FTTP uses same network.

If you want an incoming voice line then Sky do not charge for PAYG voice

If you want o/g voice BT has cheaper call plans

Lots of alternatives for FTTP and voice though.
