O2 broadband 100% coverage?

herman2811

Got a call tonight from O2 trying to sell me broadband. My rural area is only served by BT with literally no LLU presence, but the salesman seemed to be of the opinion that O2 are planning to have 100% coverage by June at the latest!

Has anyone else heard that, or was he telling porkies?! Seems a bit unlikely to me!

I thought there were still a hand full of 'not spots' where you can't get broadband at *all* so a claim of 100% coverage deserves a fair bit of suspicion!

O2 are already 100% national, as they can still offer you O2 Access (non-LLU) anywhere in the UK-but you'd be made to sign up for that, as it's a dire resold BT Wholesale product.
What's your exchange? www.samknows.com, then do an exchange search.
O2 certainly do not have 100% LLU presence and nor does any other provider (and never will).

MacMan, same question as on phone thread elsewhere earlier....have been looking at a switch to o2 this evening too. Are there technical reasons why the o2 access package is dire relative to o2 packages with LLU (ignoring cost differences)? Or is it just due to the relatively basic spec of the o2 access package at 20Gb cap/8Mb speed?

Herman, minor porkies for sure as explained above, hence why o2 are offering the non-LLU Access package instead.
