1. When the cab was first installed and I checked fibre availability I was given a downstream estimate of around 58mb however I've since been on again and it now estimates 72mb + and 20mb upstream is it normal to change like this , we are pretty close to the cab.

Yes.

3. With an install will they replace wiring from the pole or drop wires ? We have an ancient old grey drop wire and I'm concerned it could impact speeds.

No. Unless there is a fault.

4. So far I've narrowed it down to either BT or Sky , do both now have a 1 box solution or do you still also need the Openreach modem ?
|
Sky still use the modem AFAIK.

Pretend you're not on BT Infinity...
