Anyone using this?

I’m on eir Fibre at the minute but was looking to get the new Sky Q into the house so I could use it in three rooms in the house.

I didn’t realise the Sky Q boxes act as wifi routers and give you full service around the house, woudl make it handy for my Android box, that I use for sport, around the house and will save me getting the wifi extender that needed for the Sun room as well.

We’re within 50m of the wifi cabinet in the Estate and have download/upload speeds that vary between 60-100mbps.

Anyone using Sky and, if so, what the service been like?

Eir , Vodafone and Sky all use the same infrastructure. So your speed will be pretty much the same as it was with Eir.

I have Sky for the last 15 months and it works very well. Similar situation in relation to the exchange cabinet. I get ~80mbps.

Its been fine since tbf

Eir FTTH is the big difference if you can get it. But otherwise, if it’s standard Eir Fibre it’s all the same as you say.

Yes and no. Do you really need 1000mbps broadband? Anything over 40 is more than adequate for most people’s needs and becomes effectively redundant.

I’d find uses for it. I get what you’re saying and it’s a premium offering but it’s extremely quick so that’s only a good thing, even if not necessary.
