    No I think the OP is referring to recent items in the media about Sky buying up ISP's and the rumours that they are to start Broadband delivery services.

    It has been discussed already on the forums. I can't find it at the moment, but if you do a search I expect you will find it.

    :j BskyB are supposed to be announcing it this month sometime but they are currently going head to head with BT to buy AOL
    Although they will be offering TV/HPhone/BB which is a triple package so I guess we'll just have to sit,wait and watch all good things come to those who wait, I'm currently with bt for my line, primus saver option2 for my calls Bskyb for my tv and force9 plusnet for my bb so just having the one bill once a month would be great I've been with my ISP for 1 year now and can leave whenever with nothing to pay but I'm waiting to see what bskyb have to offer as I've heard that if you have a premium package which I have you could get bb for free but we'll have to wait and see.T:j



    Pls be nice to all MSer's

    Sky will probably just be a re-seller through a different company

    I heard it was due for release at the end of the summer so I'd be expecting August-September time.

    Cheers

    All I got on my letter was my subscription rising by a £1 a month!!! No, to be serious am seriouly hoping waiting for this Sky broadband pays off - am on the top package at Sky so the rumours of free broadband sound pretty damn good to me...
