It’s not necessary to connect a Bt router to a Sky router. The only point is that on 3rd party (Non sky) broadband the Q main Q box will only connect to a BT Router on the 2.4 GHz band.
An additional mesh system will invariably cause connection issues for Q boxes.
Is EE and BT broadband the same
BT and EE are both part of the same company, but that doesn’t mean their broadband deals are identical.
One thing to note here, however, is that EE’s broadband plans don’t include a landline, so adding a landline will often take EE’s broadband prices over those offered by EE.
Do I need a Bt phone line for Virgin media
Yes, you can – at Virgin Media, we don’t need to run your broadband through a landline.
We deliver our broadband via a dedicated fibre cable, so there’s no need for a phone line when installing our broadband.
Can you have broadband without a landline Sky
You will need a landline for the broadband, unless you use something like Virgin Media who use their own cabling.
Why is Virgin Media faster than BT
Unlike most other providers, Virgin Media doesn’t use Openreach and owns and operates its own cable broadband network.
And while it’s not as wide-ranging as Openreach, it uses newer technology to deliver faster speeds to Virgin Media customers.
Do BT and Virgin use the same cables
Virgin use their own infrastructure. BT uses Openreach’s so if Openreach have either full fibre or Fibre to the Cabinet in your area it will be a different cable used to what Virgin Media gave you.
Does TalkTalk use BT lines
Both BT and TalkTalk use the Openreach network. This means switching should be pretty easy and you should be set up with your new provider within about two weeks.
Is TalkTalk better than BT
Winner: Draw – TalkTalk speeds are more reliable at entry-level superfast but BT have the edge on faster deals.
BT offer advertised broadband speeds of 10Mb, 36Mb, 50Mb, 67Mb, 100Mb, 500Mb and 900Mb while TalkTalk offer 11Mb, 38Mb, 67Mb, 145Mb, 290Mb and 550Mb.
Are BT and Sky the same company
Under the terms of the agreement, BT will market and sell Sky’s Now TV service – including the Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Sky Living, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema channels – to its customers.
BT will wholesale its BT Sport channels to Sky, allowing the firm to sell them directly to Sky customers.
Why did BT buy EE
BT bought EE, a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and France’s Orange, to serve customers increasingly taking fixed and mobile services from one provider.
Is Shell energy part of BT
Shell Energy simply acts as another provider, much like BT and Sky, by offering their very own broadband packages.
The broadband speed across all Openreach Networks are essentially the same; no matter who you go with, your service won’t change because it’s all coming from the same place – much like your energy supply.
How long does it take for BT to install fibre
Work to complete the fibre installation in your home This usually happens seven working days after the first stage and you’ll need to be at home to let the engineer in.
The appointment will last up to four hours. Your BT Hub should arrive by post two days before your installation date.
How fast does my broadband need to be
A good broadband speed for streaming is at least 1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) for TV services such as BBC iPlayer for standard streaming, or 2.8Mbps for HD quality.
For Netflix, the minimum speed required is about 3Mbps for standard streaming and 5Mbps for HD.
Do BT and EE use the same network
BT Mobile’s primary advantage is the fact it uses EE’s network. While it can’t match its in-house rival when it comes to breadth of price plans or the devices it offers, it does at least have the best network in the country.
That helps it stand out against Three, Vodafone and O2.
What is the difference between FTTP and FTTC
FTTP is full fibre broadband that gives you a dedicated connection that runs directly from the exchange to your property.
FTTC is part fibre broadband that uses fibre optic cables to the main exchange but then uses old copper wires to connect to properties.
How fast is Shell WIFI
Shell Energy Broadband Speeds Over Time We class broadband speed distributions as follows: very slow under 10 Mbps; slow 10-30 Mbps; adequate 30-60 Mbps; good 60-80 Mbps; fast 80-300 Mbps; very fast over 300 Mbps.
Do you need a modem for FTTP
FTTP connections will only need a router as the NBN connection box serves as a modem.
You’ll still need to pick up a router that will connect to the NBN connection box which should be installed within your premises.
Do Sky and BT use the same lines
Both BT and Sky use the Openreach network to deliver their respective broadband connections.
Both offer unlimited standard broadband, which is slower and less predictable than fibre, with speeds averaging 10Mbps.
Who is better Sky or BT
BT VS Sky: Average broadband speeds BT’s superfast fibre optic package boasts average speeds of 36Mbps, and its Fibre 1 and Fibre 2 broadband gives you 50Mbps and 67Mbps respectively.
Conversely, Sky has just one fibre optic package on offer, with 59Mbps average speeds.
Who is better Virgin or BT
Overall. Virgin wins by a mile on speed, but lags slightly behind BT when it comes to customer service; two of the most important factors when it comes to choosing a broadband provider.
BT has decent technology and some great extras, but if you want fast and reliable broadband, Virgin may be the way to go.
Can I keep my landline number if I switch to Virgin
In particular, if you are switching to or from a cable provider such as Virgin Media, you will need to follow the ‘cease and re-provide’ process.
The length of time it will take will depend on the services you have.
You can keep your existing landline telephone number when you switch if you want to.
Can I keep my BT phone number if I move to Sky
Your phone number Most of the time you can keep your existing number when moving to Sky Talk.
Just let us know your existing number and your phone provider when placing your order.
