In reply to a post by andrum99:

Because their routers are rubbish and they don't let you use your own router.

It's easy enough to configure your own router to use on Sky.

To do what you originally wanted will mean cancelling the broadband and getting Sky to shift you back to WLR first.

Likely broadband downtime of a few weeks by the time everyone does everything and new order goes through.

As someone else said you can use your own router, people have managed to do it with Sky Fibre, just really looked into it, as happy enough my Sky router (keep that one simple) all the complex stuff is on my other line.

I'm using a Billion 8800NL modem/router with my Sky fibre connection because it syncs at a higher speed than the HG612 I have and also the SR102.

Sky know I'm using the 8800 because I told them when I was reporting a fault on my line because they didn't have any line stats on their system which are only reported by Sky's routers. They didn't seem particularly bothered.
