Millions of Sky and BT broadband customers to face huge internet shake-up

Millions of households across the UK will soon be switched over to much faster, full-fibre speeds as ageing copper connectivity becomes phased out.

Installer and supplier Openreach has announced that it no longer wants to give Internet Service Providers across Great Britain like BT, Sky and TalkTalk the option of serving consumers with old and outdated copper connections - which struggle to keep up with the ever growing evolution of digital technology.

For those who aren't tech-savvy, newer-age Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections are able to provide much faster speeds in excess of 900Mbps, as opposed to the maximum 70Mbps ballpark that inferior copper wires can host.
