good post, am surprised you are looking to move also as you before came across as been quite happy.

I posted what you said about BTw on the plusnet forum which I hope you are ok with.

Personally I am looking at sky and hoping they have enough GEA space at my exchange so I get put on their backhaul.

The issue I have is eating up 6 months of unused LRS on plusnet. Sky is also more expensive than plusnet but I believe is a better quality network.

I lose ipv6, but with BT enabling ipv6 imminently, then that will trigger sky to copy probably within a year.

You can keep your line with Plusnet, from their side of it.

Sky have been known to let people join on broadband only when they are tied into a phone term, but expect them to move over at the end of that term.

yeah I plan to ask them that.

But I want to make sure I am not using BTw for sky, I want to use their LLU backhaul.

Sky just do not use bt wholesale for broadband now, in the scenario outlined if sky let you do it broadband would be over partial llu

so basically their fiber product is LLU based only?

Yes.

Do not know about Plusnet but, with BT the connection charge is taken on dialing number not when connected.
ie £0.23 for every call not connected.

That is not true, there is no charge for a call which is not connected. Obviously getting through to an answering or queuing service counts as being connected, but just ringing or an engaged tone does not.

You could always challenge Plusnet for a refund or goodwill gesture...

No. Sky will offer fibre in exchanges where they do not have an LLU presence. In fact they will only offer fibre in exchanges where there is fibre and they have no LLU presence, so as to avoid offering Sky Connect (BT Wholesale).

Assuming you're right, I think you mean "offer only". Altering that word order makes a huge difference .
