Sky bband

hardtimes

I am currently with O2/Sky bband and will migrate in Feb 2014. I want to know has anyone got Sky bband with their router as I want to know is the service any good as Sky are giving 12 mths free bband if you have Sky tv

Just the same as I got with O2 speed wise. Used to get fairly frequent reboots with O2 which I haven't had as yet with Sky.

Yes but you will need to take their Line Rental too which you don't have to do if you migrate and currently have line rental with another provider.

if you do choose to move your Line Rental too, you can get a better deal than free BB for a year if you go through the O2 want to leave option.

Do you go to o2 and ask for MAC to get a better deal,I am paying £13 for bband and line rental

They are offering only television and broadband deals. (That is, with landline kept with a separate supplier.)

Primus are doing line rental from £5.99,but reviews are not good. It is hard to know what the best option is. I need a good connection for streaming and gaming.

I think that Sky's phone deal locks your landline in.

As far as Sky BB (ADSL) goes, it is OK but has some outages.

I also went to look for some old software via P2P (BitTorrent) and I got a warning disallowing it.

My Sky broadband is better than O2 was. It's faster and has only been down once in two months (and that was possibly a Sky update incident, as a friend, hundreds of miles away, lost her connection at the same time)

Basically, yes.

Or you could say that you don't want to migrate yet as you are looking at other options.

I have Sky TV and was given free Line rental, BB at £7.50pm and a £75 credit for 12 months. Works out at £15 for the year.

I don't have sky TV. My phone line us with BT, sky have put my bb up to £12.50. Wondering what my options will be?

Are you a longstanding Sky broadband customer or have you migrated /are about to be migrated to Sky?

adandem

I have migrated. We were with o2.
