Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
Sky's new wireless N ADSL router is due to launch in August and existing customers will be able to pay £35 to upgrade to the new one if they wish.
Part of the product spec is that it will support VDSL . I believe this is what openreach use for their FTTC product so I guess a product launch will be along in due course.

Though they joined just to post it. And missed the VDSL bit.

Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
I assume that it will be like the Home Hub 3 from BT or the Billion 7800n as a combined ADSL2+ router and cable router.
I doubt it will have a VDSL modem built in as the few that are on the market are very expensive.I'm a PC, and Windows 7 Backup saved my sanity when BitDefender imploded !!!

Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
I was thinking the same. It's probably got a spare EWAN port. I think all ISPs will be using the Openreach VDSL Modem.
