Already are some with Sky in FTTP areas, suspect just existing customers moving to new fibre only areas, or are just staff

shocking it's taken the 2nd largest ISP in the UK half a decade to get onboard with GEA-FTTP. how does that even happen?

I have 2 friends who are currently on Sky FTTC, and are moving to a new development which is FTTP, I am going to ask them about what Sky have offered (if anything).

Be interesting to find out.

I've heard in FTTP only areas you can get Sky FTTP

Probably not worth the bother - until recently there weren't that many fttp lines.

Heard that where?

It certainly doesn't show available in any FTTP only areas, and isn't offered by default to existing customers who move to FTTP only areas.

They may offer it to some specific existing customers who who move to an FTTP only area as part of a trial, but even that's just speculation.

Ispreview 'news' articles usually fall into one of two categories, press releases and the owner's opinion. This is opinion.

Although it is a fair bet that sooner or later all providers will need to offer full fibre and gfast services in order to stay relevant.

IIrc Mark said he had it from multiple (4?) sources. Thats not opinion but basic journalism.

From friends who have moved to FTTP only houses and have Sky Broadband.
