The fibre backbone is nothing to do with it, every network has a fibre backbone you can't really run 10Gbps over any distance on copper.

I presume you are referring to access networks and that the cable network has fibre to the node which is a very different thing from the backbone.

I believe Sky will be using the BT Openreach FTTN product allowing them to deliver 40Mbps/2Mbps and 40Mbps/10Mbps services and the FTTP 100Mbps/10Mbps product also.
