    No, maybe I didn`t think it through but ive really not had the time to sit down and do any research and I was waiting until the end of my contract as I thought I would probably have to pay a hefty fee to get out of it early. Thanks for stating the obvious though

    Who have people gone to from 02 for their broadband and landline? I have looked into Virgin but we aren`t in a cabled area so we cant have their fibre optic broadband. They have quoted me a £49.95 installation fee and then around £30 per month for their landline broadband which is a bit steep seeing I was paying £24 with 02 all in.
    Not keen on BT as left them previously as more hassle than its worth dealing with indian call centres when you have a problem. Not really many other options left.
    Yes as you have seen from my previous post I should of organised this ages ago and maybe got a good deal but I haven`t so im now trying to get the best deal I can.

    Any help not criticism`s would be much appreciated please

    Thanks and how much are you paying with them, I have never used a cashback website, do you get back what they promise??

    Thanks for the info, still looking into my options at mo but nice to have an idea what other people are paying

    Be careful it's harder to leave sky phone after 12 months as it's LLU on the exchange

    What does LLU mean please?

    An update on day four of Sky. I'm getting 6.10mb download at the moment (not bad for 6pm) and 0.6mb upload. The upload is down on the 1mb from o2...but the download seems faster...certainly I rarely used to exceed 6mb before.

    If your already a Sky tv customer they will not allow you to have the tv and broadband package for free for O2 broadband customers as I was told it is in there terms and conditions the only thing they offered me was 12m broadband if i took there phone line. :mad:,I declined there offer and gave notice of termination.woohoo
