Hi, i have a skybox f3 and at the moment im using sky unlimited broadband,but can get fibre optic bb now,just wondering if my viewing will be any better as some times my box glitches when im using laptop at same time just to view fleabay etc.

I know that this common when using internet at same time,but will fibre optic speeds make this better.

Thanks

Not really, an old analog dial-up modem would provide fast enough speed for what the Skybox uses, its constant but only miniscule amounts of data transfer..

ok, thanks but how do you stop glitching when using pc at same time.

thanks

Glitching is usually always down to the share server your box is connecting to, unless your Broadband speed & latency is absolutely dreadful.

To improve things your end, are you using wifi on your F3? If you are then try using a wired connection instead..

They are more than fast enough... But a direct wired connection to router is always the best way (especially when you're trying to diagnose a problem)

Like I said, glitching is usually always down to the share server you're connecting to, not much you can do about it other than try a different provider...
