Sky buying out the O2 Broadband business to boost their headline figure of saying they have "x million" customers.
Hopefully it won't be a repeat of the mess-ups when Talk Talk merged the systems of the companies they took over together.0 -
Why do folk think that Sky will require you to have a Sky phone line to have their BB?
They don't require it of their existing customers, just offer it as an option!0 -

I think they do. The last time I spoke to their customer service to enquire about fiber, I was told I need to take up sky phone as well.0 -

Murdoch is expecting to overtake Virgin in the broadband market and is expecting to nab 500.000 of the 02 customers. I really dont think that that will happen. I for one will definately not be having anything to do with sky as I cant stand them. Their customer service is shocking and I dont want to give that man any of my money, it goes against my morals.
Lets hope that there are lots more customers who think like us, I have my mobile, broadband and landline with 02 and im gutted this is happening. Their customer service in my opinion is fantastic and ive always been extremely happy with them. My contract is up with 02 in early july and I will be switching to Virgin!
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it murdoch!!!!
If you think that Sky CS is shocking, then isn't it a bit perverse to propose switching your business to VM?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Sky BB does (or at least did) not require you to have Sky Talk.
I had Sky BB over a BT phone line for ages.
I eventually chose to move to Sky Talk too, which was cheaper and had better inclusions that BT's.
You do (or at least did) have to have Sky TV though.
The above may have changed, of course.0
