One thing I'd add to what has already been said about FTTC: you need
ideally to plug the fibre modem directly into your master socket, so
if you are currently using ADSL off an extension that might require
changes (either to where you place your modem/router, or for a data
extension kit to be installed).
If you are sticking with Sky, I understand they now offer self-install
so instead of having an engineer visit and change your master socket
faceplate, you simply get microfilters to install yourself just as
with ADSL. They also have a router that includes a VDSL modem so you
don't need a separate Openreach modem.
