Sky buyout of O2 Broadband

I think the Murdoch Empire owns about 40% of BSkyB. Your pension funds may own some of the rest. By trying to sabotage Murdoch you could also be reducing your pension....

Just a thought.

I'm more into Pork Belly futures though there isnt much difference visually

I have sky broadband and it isn't bad, but not great either. Their standard router's are pretty poor.

I am out of contract with O2 and still on the legacy package paying around £9 pm. I have an O2 mobile so i get a discount. I'm wondering if i stay with O2,what will happen to my O2 mobile discount and when?

I am currently minded to switch to BT as my phone line is with them and they do have a mega wireless network to pimp off.

I also have a virgin bit of wire in my house which potentially could be reactivated.

My needs really are only for a basic broadband service with no cap and decent throughput. Speed isnt an issue. I dont need any TV services either via the data link or via dish or cable.

I don't think there will be a a mobile discount as Sky won't have access to mobile accounts but not sure when the takeover will complete?
I think that's why the mobile credit was offered, to counteract the loss of discount.

I was also just offered £200 on my mobile as well as the normal 12 months free,happy days.

they must be desperate - buy why offer so much? what's the catch? There has to be something as this is getting silly - paying you £200 to use their service.

Sky will change things very quickly if what I was told today is correct.

Maybe it's having a knock on effect with mobile customers?

Peterjones

No this is broadband related - its something to do with customer numbers / base as long term contract holders will add value to any deal.

The £200 is only going to mobile customers, that's what I meant

That was my view. Until I phoned them this morning and they offered me 12 months free plus £200 credit on my o2 bill. That’s not my money J

They must be really desperate to keep customers at that rate

I am balancing it out by cancelling my Sky TV package, unless of course the make me an offer I can't refuse
