    Sky started offering line rental for £10 last week for their talk customers removing the need to pay BT for line rental.

    If you move your line rental to Sky they will start charging you for caller display ,where its virtually free with BT,and they will no doubt start blocking access to the likes of 18185 etc.
  • Was interested so having a look myself.

    It comes up for me as £21 for 6 mixes, and £17 for Connect 8Mbps. This has a 40GB limit apparently. Is the £5 'mid broadband' only available to people in a Sky LLU area?

    Thanks

    Yes, if your exchange has not been unbundled, you can only get Sky Connect broadband - which is more expensive than BT.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
