 Here is what I get:

What do other SKY customers see when visiting the site? Do you see the button or not? Also, out of curiosity, do you currently have broadband via SKY? Just trying to work something out.

 Hmm, I was thinking you can't add what you already have.
 
but you have everything except the kitchen sink
 (sky kitchen sinks just £49.99, when you introduce a new customer)

I'm trying to figure out if the website recognizes who your ISP is. If so are people getting different versions of the page according to whether they have SKY broadband or not.  
 
It could just be a fault on the page, or maybe a game changer is truly on it's way.
