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.

So they do still rely on BT installing their fibre optic network then?
