For most of us Sky slaves, the best we can hope for is to get conned into putting our names on their marketing lists or signing up for the rather less attractive option of taking their services over a BT line, which is both slower and, needless to say, not free.
These 'free broadband*' ads really are driving a horse and cart through the rules on accurate advertising at the moment. I wish the ASA could do something to force companies like Sky to qualify more clearly exactly how few people can actually get what's being advertised.

Don't forget Sky is forward thinking and invents everything first. Should NTL follow Sky on this as well
On another point i cannot wait for Sky's telephone service, how many will not be able to get that as well. Very forward thinking of Sky
.
Sky should stick to what they do best
TV.
Here is a example of a COMING SOON email from SKY after they messed up the first one
Important information about Sky Broadband

Thank you.
3 times they have phoned me now to say i can have upto 16 meg and then 3 times they have had to retract it.
My son wants the 16 meg and is willing to have our crappy BT line enabled to get it, But Sky keep messing it up.
Me i am staying on 10 meg broadband at least i can get that now.
