This is a no go on so many levels for me.
Will NEVER have a BT line in my house again.
Ukonline at this time have NO capacity for ADSL2 in Warrington. "i can prove it as well"
This means i would have to use there upto 8 meg limited at 40 gig service. Thats crap as far as my usage goes " i used 12 gig in 2 days at the weekend".
I am happy with the service i get on my SKY+ but i am not and will never be happy having any form of BT connection in my house ever again.
I think that NTL will come out with a offer to match this in one way or another, Which means i can see my broadband price coming down soon.
Full update on BT's crap service in another thread shortly. Boy will it be fun. My line moves tomorrow thank god.

The network needs constant and ongoing investment to maintain and upgrade it, infact a lot of areas are nearing the end of useful life of a lot of components, so to say they don't have to invest isn't really accurate.
If ntl start offering internet service at really low / free prices where is their money going to come from?
Looking at the increase in complaints here the network is already not being that well maintained, and with a load of cost cutting and firing of engineers this won't really improve. Take away revenue from broadband services it just gets worse.

The problem is not UKonline "aka SKY" but BT. The upgrades to your network would come to nothing if BT treat all there customers as they have treated me. Ukonline can have a superb network but it's BT's inferior copper which lets you down.

Ukonline could not offer me LLU . They sold me ADSL2+ LLU but gave me 2 meg ove a BT connection . They then lied and told me they would upgrade me to adsl2+. They never did it and still have NOT upgraded there Dslam in Warrington exchange at this time. Thats 3 months and they still have NOT upgraded it. That means that anyone in Warrington that upgrades to sky at the moment would have to go on the BT ipstream network. Now i am sure that Ukonline aka Sky will upgrade the mux, However looking at there upgrade in warrington so far i would NOT hold my breath
