    .......Accepting the new deal would see me paying nothing from now till March 2014?

    If you accept a new deal, then your old one ends, and the new one starts today, and ends next March.

    The mobile on my bill had to be paid for me to qualify for free the credit.
    It's my daughter's phone but we pay.

    OK - perhaps some doubt about the mobile credit then.

    ......They offered me £100 on my mobile account ........

    What qualifies for the £100 credit (v the £50)?

    Why?

    AS long as there is a mobile linked to the bb you get the deal.

    He who dares......

    Not sure?? Just what they offered.

    I did lay it on thick that we wouldn't have taken on the mobile had it not been for the BB discount (which was a factor).

    If we lose o2 priority I shall riot!!!!

    No it wasn't the deal I was questioning. It was whether or not I (or my friend) would also get the mobile credit. Adandem seemed to be saying he had to be the bill payer of the mobile to get the mobile credit.

    Will this be leading to Sky's Broadband service being overloaded.

    O2 also have a business land and broadband side, which they dont seem to be selling, so will they be using Skys existing infrastructure.

    I think im off to BT Infinity,as I dont want to find out...

    I hope every single O2/BE customer leaves before sky takes over so they have waisted their money.

    Not a viable option for everyone though where contracts are still in play.

    Yes they do.

    Really? Everything I've read suggests that they don't do fastpath, and they don't offer static IPs. Could you give me a link to this information please? Just out of interest, I still wouldn't go with Sky...
