is sky broadband avalible yet?

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

In certain areas on certain exchanges it is, in most areas there is probably going to be a delay before the exchanges are upgraded for the service.

you can check if it's on line at your local exchange by checking www.samknows.com

Easynet/Sky LLU has been enabled in 416 out of 5591 exchanges, so not long now, then, before everyone can get it.:dozey:

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Well my local exchange is llu and skyBB still isnt available here

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Snapperooni!

I would suspect that Sky are taking a slowly, slowly approach here.

I'm sure as hell getting it when it arrives, 10 quid for "upto" 16 Meg and uncapped downloads.

I mean, where do i sign up..

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

long contract, dynamic ip, ports closed, and a FUP. Subject to the usual long line = poor performance problem of adsl. Bear these points in mind before you start rushing over for the ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£ÃƒÆ ’‚£.

Ports closed? Dynamic Ip etc...

Where did you find all this out?

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

research :)

like the people who flocked to talktalk did no research and now realising their mistakes.

sky will be basically what ukonline currently offer, except they also added a new FUP as well.

in areas where they havent LLud the price will be higher and max speed will be 7.15mbit.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

It might be worth keeping an eye on the newly set up Sky section over at Adslguide. It's only been set up for less than a week, but should give early indications as to if punters are happy or not.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

Sky notified me that it will be available shortly in my area BUT...

I have tried in vain to find out about Sky's FUP in terms of the REAL download limit. I currently have NTL 1Mb and ukonline 8Mb via a Xincom dual WAN balancing router. I have a download cap on ADSL of 500GB/month (Yes you did read correctly, half a terabyte) but the total cost of these two services is around £48 per month. I hoped the Sky Max at £10 would cut costs, but their customer service would not give a figure, except that "100GB/month would exceed their FUP" I use on average 300GB so would not last long there.

I have also been searching this forum for a real figure on NTL's so called unlimited, but have not found anything concrete yet. They have not so far replied to email on the subject.

It looks like I will stay as I am, but I do wish all these ISP's with so called unlimited services would be up front and tell you their real download cap.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

I am pretty sure I read somewhere on here that Sky is traffic shaped as well.

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

I thought ukonline dropped the 500 gig cap in favour of unlimited on its terms? ntl is unlimited so you would get 1 meg more for 34.99 unlimited yes you heard right no cap lol lol even if you had to pay full charge so I think you got the wrong deal lol and :welcome: to the forum :)

Re: is sky broadband avalible yet?
 

There is no mention of any cap on ukonline's website for their current packages, but I am reluctant to switch to NTL 10Mb + Sky free if I later found I was over-using NTL
