At 300GB a month, I'm sure your BB neighbours are bloody glad you're reluctant. So what DVDs have you got for sale this week?

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

People who download DVDs don't necessarily sell them on you know.

Goodness me Neil, where's your sense of sarcasm gone? If anyone is loading 300GB a month on a residential BB connection, something dodgy is going on.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

I download dvds and dont sell them, but I dont do 300gig a month nearer 50 :)

Their is no evidence yet of sky been shaped their is just a FUP on the top tier and caps on the 2 lower tiers.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

I never said there wasn't something dodgy going on, I was merely saying that just because someone downloads DVDs they don't necessarily sell them on (I.E. they may simply download them to watch the film).

Sky all over there broadband packages are not available in the Wirral to hell with them as far i am concerned.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Its running and has been for over three weeks,although access to the Home Page for some is not available,in otherwords No email etc

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

It's running at SOME exchanges, not many of them to be honest. As usual it will be a case of wait and see for a lot of people as they will have to wait for their local exchange to be equipped.

If you cannot get llu from ukonline then its heavily traffic shaped because they use BT for the backbone.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Not in Warrington for at least 6 months :(

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

It's not available in Glasgow for a 'few months' (coming soon then I guess) but that hasn't stopped Sky sending me an email offering me the BT option EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST WEEK. :mad:

Now one or maybe two I could cope with but every one I get is making it less likely I'll actually take the service when it does become available.

Join the club :mad:

What i get is an email saying i can have it, then a email saying i cannot have it. Then a phone call to ask if i want it. :rolleyes:

I take it Sky have been to the NTL school where you learn to say COMING SOON

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Jeezus!All you Sky bb experts.....
You should try working for them....
I do.....

Spike

I get emails every other day asking me to take broadband. Every other day they tell me i can have the 16 meg product, Then when i phone them they tell me i cannot have it and i will have to have the 2 meg product from BT. And to top it of they then phone me a few days later to ask me if i want it ?.

I am in and out of BT exchanges here in the North West on a daily bases and meet the UKonline and Easynet engineers. They are telling me that my area will not be ready till after the new year. So who do i believe The engineers who upgrade the dslam,s or the Sky salesman who are just after a quick sale ?

Hi Bill,
Personally I would NEVER believe anything a NTL/Sky salesman told me.They promise the earth & deliver the moon.Where I work we get calls every day to us from people who want the free one (" I gather I can get free internet as I've already got Sky TV") & when you tell them they can only get the £17 OFF-NET Connect they go off on one!
You,me & a few others know the score but the majority of people just see the word 'Free' without reading the small print!
