Can't find Sky's LLU download limits/STM.

Hi I've just switched my tv/phone/bb from virginmedia to Sky but I cannot find Sky's usage limits before STM kicks in. At least wih virginmedia they show you much you can download before your speed gets cut.

I currently get 78mb download speed and its really good and rock solid and so far we haven't seemed to hit the limits despite downloading 22gig yesterday. So does anyone have a link to the usage restrictions for sky fibre pro?

I don't think you understand what I mean. I know sky is unlimited just like virginmedia but I mean the STM limit, how much can I download before my speed get reduced.

Like I said above, there is no STM

Literally, you can download as much as you want, when you want, and you wont be STM'ed

Re: Can't find Sky's LLU download limits/STM.

Yup.

No usage limits, no hard cap, no soft cap.

No STM / throttling / shaping.

No FUP.

Q: Does Fibre Unlimited have a usage policy?

A: Sky Fibre Unlimited is a residential service that offers totally unlimited usage - there is no fair usage policy and no traffic management is applied to this service.

The same applies to the normal Sky Broadband Unlimited LLU ADSL2+ service as well as Sky Fibre Unlimited: No limits, no FUP, no STM, etc...

No limits at all. No time of day limits. No hidden limits either.

Hahahaha


Ahahah


AHAHAHHHAHAHA

Someone being convinced there "must" be limits on Sky because they are too used to VM's bad ways.

At least VM tell you how much you can download before your speed gets cut? At least Sky doesn't cut your speed. Ever.
