You surmise that exchange B may not be Sky LLU'ed, but that Sky might add backhaul to exchange A. That just doesn't make sense.

Nope, I was suggesting that Sky may add backhaul to exchange B even though it has no LLU, but you have said it's not possible.

In reply to a post by RobertoS:

The only thing that would make sense would be for Sky to LLU exchange B, thus picking up A + B + almost certainly some other small ones. Fibre through B and compulsory phone through A/other. Just as they do now.

Yep, as I say that would be subject to Sky making an economic assessment on the profitability of adding LLU to exchange B for the purpose of supporting fibre to exchange A, B and any other rural exchanges feeding to exchange B.

We've overlapped posting there .

They can install backhaul, but if they don't LLU it by installing their own MSAN then they need to get a feed off some other one. As I said, I think that's what Zen do. Samknows calls it Zen LLU just for ease, I believe, as Zen specifically said at the start of their rollout they weren't installing MSANs in the exchanges.

Yeah, I don't see Sky adding backhaul to anyone else's MSAN's either, they would either install their own into B, or just not support fibre to exchange A, B and any others feeding into B.

Mainly to provide it to B, as that is clearly the biggie in the area. The addition of the feeding in ones is what may make it worthwhile LLU'ing. If it were big enough in its own right they would already have done it.

I wonder if we are slightly off topic, for any forum never mind in the Plusnet one in a thread about their landline price rises !

Probably.

Roberto you know if sky just move the broadband plusnet wont cease the line?

Best to make sure you get a Plusnet rep to keep an eye on it. Get in touch with one before ordering, then tell him/her when you have done. Cockups can happen, but that's what it would be, as long as Sky only put in a broadband migration, not a line takeover as well.

You also need to watch out for the new letters. Those should tell you what is going to move and when, but we already have Timico/Coms not notifying their leaving customer. There are bound to be mistakes, but less risk in this case.

is ok the line is moving over as well, sky credited the account to cover the 6 months LRS.

I will make a post on plusnet soon to announce my ipv6 account can be given to someone else.

I cannot say I enjoyed doing this, plusnet in 2014 overall I felt was a happy experience, but in 2015 too many negative things have been happening, it seems they dont want to comment on the current performance issues which is a shame but it is what it is, all I can do really is take my money elsewhere which I have done.

Also sky tried hard to get me on their normal 40/10 service, offered me a big lot of cashback and discounted price, was considering accepting as over the 12 months the difference was 100s of pounds. Was offered £180 pre paid tesco card and 12 months half price for 40/10 with £50 signon fee waived. The fiber pro has no offers whatsoever.

That's a shame, especially as you need Pro to get useful things like Static IP.

I'm tempted when my 18months is up (even though I've just renewed line rental saver) but that is next Jan; so anything could change in the time. Good luck with the move and keep us posted.
