Re your reply to MrSaffron you seem to have ignored my post wondering if your linked document is anything to do with Sky Broadband in the UK. Other than the "word" SKyTalk" I see nothing, and googling Sky Talk brings up all sorts of other stuff.

What I find odd is the the jaht domain itself .

You are more than likely correct Bob. That's why I initially said I may be wrong. It's just that xxxtalk is the terminology usually attributed to a voip service and most ISPs offer such a service. Happy to be wrong, but an explanation of the link earlier would have helped a simpleton like me

Maybe if this JHAT SkyTalk gets prominent enough the Sky lawyers will jump on it, as they did with SkyDrive?

... I think whatever they do, Sky may have made them drop the name SkyTalk.

whoops, sorry ... I did read the thread but obviously not properly.

It's a different scenario, but we used to have Sky Broadband (ADSL) while the phone had stayed with BT (so WLR + SMPF).

I tried to get upgraded to Sky Fibre whilst keeping the phone with BT, but as I expected this was not possible - Sky wanted me to switch the phone over to them (i.e. Sky Talk) in order to get Sky Fibre. Was slightly intrigued that the lady at the Sky call centre didn't immediately say it straight up wasn't possible, and instead tried to put through a Sky Fibre order without Sky Talk, but the computer said no.

Correct computer will say no on Sky Fibre, but technically it is possible, just Sky do not want to.

I have given up on the idea, Sky were trying to convince me to downgrade to 40/10 for £20 a month. They pointed I probably wouldn't get anywhere near 80mb/s down speed to which my reply was that is true I get around 68mb/s and when I have the kids streaming netflix, the wife using sky on demand and me playing online or working from home it adds up!

Might as well stay with plusNet
