O2 customers being sold to sky don't have to take a sky landline if they are now with other landline providers than o2. The sky offer of free sky tv and bb for a year is only available if you also switch landline to them.

Well that is what I meant by the SKY deal, so if you don't want the whole deal you can avoid the landline switch.

The issue would be i would like a faster connection so fibre (CTTC) is it? FTTC?

You dont get free 0845 and 0870 with sky do you?

Poor Old Sky, they must really want to speak to me. 4 days straight of phone calls...

Take a ******* hint you scumbags!

0870 calls are included in their one hour "free" calls packages (not 0845 ones though)

I've had three letters and today a text from Sky telling me I can get a great deal on their TV.

It cost me to reply 'stop'. I tried calling them and spoke to an Indian call centre who didn't know what I was talking about.

When I finally spoke to someone in Scotland, she was incredulous that I didn't want Sky TV. 'But it's a great deal, it's free!'...

Are they contacting by phone rather than email. They wont get me then.

I gave that SIM to my FIL

Just discovered that to text Sky to tell them to stop texting me has cost me 8p.

Bleeding cheek.

what are you o2 customers thoughts on the next best broadband company?

USwitch site seems to suggest TalkTalk and EE are cheapest, but not heard many reviews of either of those, wondering about PlusNet but don't know much about them either, seen them mentioned a few times on this thread....

EE/Horange are just a BT reseller, they don't have their own network. Talk Talk have won the wooden spoon for customer service three years running. Plusnet is a BT company and runs over the BT network, but does have UK call centre.
Your best option is probably Sky Llu.
