Sky Connect In My Area For £5, I Have To Pay £17

Hi,
In June, I noticed that the sky connect package was only £5 a month as the exchange in my area was due to be unbundled. I was moving into my new property soon so I thought great I will sign up with sky.
however, by the time I moved in the connect had gone back up to £17. I thought I would go with them anyway in the hope that it wouldn't be long before the sky mid package would be available.
Last week I decided to have a check on the sky broadband checker and it now says that connect is available in my area for £5 again. But when I phoned customer support they said that I will have to pay £17 until my exchange is unbundled while all the new customers in my area get to pay £5

Is your exchange unbundled according to www.samknows.com ?
Did Sky say they would reduce your fee to £5 once it was unbundled?0
