marsbar1973 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Sky broadband. Anyone going for it and opinions please. I'm tempted. Upto 16mb Unlimited for £10 a month. Sounds good. Clicky Licky the Ice Cream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Why is 8mg capped nearly twice the price of what 16mg unlimited is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 im going for it the middel up to 8 meg at 5 quid a month (purely my area cant get high speeds like the 16 meg ) hope it comes in my area soon cant wait as on a shitty contract right now looks good plus a free wireless router, and security cant go wrong there looking 60 quid total for year top class! best idea for long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woogie Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 from what ive read those prices are only available to existing sky customers... of which im not one and the 8mb capped is £17 because there network isnt in your area yet so they are using someone elses so theres a extra fee on top... basically sky just bought out easynet A.K.A UKonline so they are using all there servers and stuff but offering a lower price for the sky customers... you can still buy through uk online but the price difference is quite abit... its nice to see a company looking after there existing customers rather than offering all the deals to new customers.....

no1girlracer Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I cant use skytalk as i have a cable phone line with NTL, the sky broadband does look good, i'll wait till some people have it and tested it before i would commit to changing everything over though.

marsbar1973 Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well. I registered. And according to Sky I can only get the 'Connect' package. I don't really want that, so we'll see what happens when it's launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
