What is the difference between the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz channels? Are they just different radio frequencies?

Yes - that's all it is. They both have their plusses and minuses, 2.4GHz can travel longer distances, including through solid objects like walls but suffers from a lot of interference from other devices on the same range (other wireless networks, baby monitors, DECT phones, interference when a Microwave oven is running etc. etc.). 5GHz wireless can't travel as far, but because of that you'll get less interference from neighbours. 5GHz is also a lot faster - with speeds up to 1900Mbps possible, due to there being more bandwidth. There's also more channels available, which means even if you do have nearby 5GHz routers it's much easier to find an empty channel to have the best chance of a hassle free setup. More and more devices are now compatible with 5GHz wireless routers, including iPhones and Android devices, and almost all laptops from the last few years.

Will this work on plusnet? i am currently using a hh3 which bt installed before i switched to plusnet.

Hi Shirley. Yes it will work, please check out post 41 here https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/BT-Home-Hub-6-Smart-Hub-on-PlusNet/m-p/1415464#M312705

Will this work with sky broadband?

I dont think so. From memory i think you have to use the router provided by sky. But call them

Will this make any difference to performance on standard 'copper wire' broadband?

It will not improve the performance of your broadband service to your home. That will be whatever BT tells you it is and it depends on how you are connected e.g standard broadband 10Mb download speed and fibre 50Mb plus download speed. Note that most homes have copper wire to the home but fibre to the cabinet in the street the copper wire connects to. This hub may improve WiFi reception around the home over previous versions of the hub but that's all.
