Re: Wait, Wait, Wait... Sky's beating VM?!

I've been very happily getting around 3.9Mbs (on a 4Mb connection) so I should get slightly better speeds from ADSL (SamKnows Mapping reckons I would get around 5.5Mbs).

How much would Sky + BT charge me for just <8Mbs?
(I have no use for either a landline telephone service or TV.)

Plus I've exchanged countless emails with O2 to try to establish if they'd be likely to have a problem with my normal (100GB) monthly downloads and they couldn't tell me.
(Would you believe they expect me to dump cableBB, get a BT line installed and sign-up with them only to get jumped on for high usage a month later?)

So I'd also appreciate any real-life examples of high usage that Sky found excessive.

TIA
While you are waiting for TBR. You cannot have Sky Broadband without a BT phone. ADSL needs a phone line to work.
