So its all done and we are now Sky customers. Glad I got my MAC last week as now I can move away. Don't fancy trying to find out what Sky customer service is like.

the take over has taken place according to the letter recieved, but O2 and BE customers are still on the equipment for now, migration dates havent announced but the reckon it could be before the year is out and youll get notified, im suprised no has recieved their letters yet?

Those that have got the 12 months BB free are you still on the same contract as last time? IE O2 Home Broadband Premium or have you moved over to the basics?

Same package (or you can negotiate higher if you want) - all free!

My advice would be to get on the phone now if you want to save money.

The only problem I can see with this in the future is if you want to buy yourself out and want to leave. I would guess this package will be one of the most expensive to buy out from as they will charge you the full monthly price if you do want to leave.

Otherwise for anyone who is happy to stay whatever for the year, its a great deal and you cant argue with that.

We should have FTTC later this year but knowing them it will be next year so can wait till then, using free BB

just had a letter from BE saying the the take over is now complete, and migration will start before then end is out.

I have only the one generic letter from Bethere saying that the deal is finalised but moving to sky wont happen untill Later this year.

I cannot find anything on the web that the Government has approved the buyout!


Is this your second letter from Bethere.

The charges for early termination are shown on the O2 website and vary depending on the package. It is much less than the monthly charge. This is not easy to find on the O2 web site.
Cant post a link so here it is in another form.

www.

/home/earlytermination.jsp is the URL.

I suspect that O2 will also want any other payments like the £200 mobile credit back if you dont complete the 12 months
