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.

On that specific page? Both of us seem to have the exact same package.

http://www.thedrum.com/news/2013/06/...t-sport-launch

"BSkyB is set to introduce a price cuts to its broadband packages in a bid to offset the competition from the introduction of free-to-view sports channel BT Sport into the market."

"BT Consumer’s commercial director Peter Oliver welcomed the cuts being introduced by Sky claiming that the broadcaster had ‘grossly overcharged’ sports fans."

Lets hope so but cant see that for us existing customers. Will be for new only. They should give BB unlimited to any customer that is on triple play
