As mentioned earlier in the thread, Sky's fibre product for home broadband will make use of the fibre currently being rolled out by BT Openreach, same as with TalkTalk and other ISPs.
Sky's own fibre network is a separate thing, its core network, its backbone, originally acquired from purchasing Easynet. It is Sky's own fibre network which has recently had an upgrade to 100Gbps. As I said before, it may be that which you were confusing with Sky's fibre broadband product when you were saying that Sky should not claim it is "increasing the fibre optic network", as Sky has never said it is "increasing the fibre optic network" regarding its fibre broadband product. Sky's press release makes it perfectly clear that its fibre broadband product uses the BT fibre.

From launch the new product will be available to around 30% of UK homes, growing over time in line with BT’s fibre roll-out programme.
