MSE News: Sky takes over O2 and Be broadband: What does this mean for customers?

System

Sky said it would be £15pm for me as its BB only (they charge a supplement)

That's a porky. Its £12.50, standalone. Less £2.50 if you have Sky TV. Less £5 if you also take talk and LRental

Those figures don't add up

Phoned Sky today to inquire about deals for O2 customers. Best they would offer was £17.50 for phone, BB and TV. I asked if they would honour the earlier £14.50 deal but did not seem interested.

Pity about the phone line scam. Seems just about every provider overcharges on the line rental. Even cable who say you don't need a phone then just charge more.

Guess you got a dodgy advisor, a friend got the £14.50 deal today, definitely still exists

You're not supposed to be adding them up!

£12.50 - £2.50 = £10

£12.50 - £5 = £7.50

Ah right, I read it as £12.50 minus £2.50, then minus a further £5 making it £5 per month

(My bad)

I called up today and was offered £7.50 standalone broadband.

Three different advisors gave me different prices and terms. Had to speak to a manager in the end and they insisted it was £15. I still wasn't convinced I was told the correct information!

From the website:-

Brilliant on it's own

£5 a month
for 12 months (then £10 a month)
with Sky Talk Weekends (no extra cost)
+ Sky Line Rental (£14.50 a month)
Join Sky Broadband Unlimited without TV and receive a £25 M&S voucher^.


Unless they are offering you the awful Sky Connect BB.

Add to basket

Just to clarify...

I have just spoken to a Sky Advisor and he said that standalone* Broadband is £15 per month but it is £7.50 per month for 12 months only to O2 customers migrating to Sky.


*Broadband only. No phone or TV package.

When I spoke to the advisor he stressed that offers made via e-mail or over the phone to O2 customers migrating to Sky are not available on the Sky website.
