Your local cabinet doesn't come into this. Are you confusing Sky LLU with FTTC?

Ive tried and tried to get the HD channel sub nocked off i even argued the fact that when i was with virgin media the HD channels were free and they just basically said yea but virgin dont offer as many HD channels as we do so they do it free to get custom and basically if you dont want to pay dont have them .
i was like well thats a nice way to treat the customers.
With the box yes you get to keep it once youve got it its yours for ever it turns into a freesat from sky box(different from BBC/ITV freesat) if you cancel your subscription you get about 240 channels but the sky+ features stop working you still get BBC HD BBC1 HD ITV HD 4HD five HD free if you have the paid HD channels cut off. Hope this helps

Then I would have told them to stick all of it and canceled the lot

It don't bother me that much i don't actually have the HD pack it dont interest me enough to pay for it at the moment. As most of the channels are on the packs i don't subscribe to. So out of the 50 id only end up with about 12 of them lol that's why i was trying to get it for free lol

For me the HD channels are great, for the first few days it was mesmerizing even though you see all the pimples and turkey necks.

lol i did have them once for 1 month and did enjoy the better quality but as i say because i only sub to a few packs i was i would end up bascly paying like £1 per channel extra lol and its not worth it at all lol. Now if they introduced the old sky HD pack back were you got the HD channel even if you did not sub to the SD one id take it up in a shot lol.

At the moment i can only get 8meg here, the cabinet is supposed to be getting upgraded late next year to allow for at least 20meg, i assumed this would allow for Sky Unlimited or indeed much more choice, i thought this was local loop unbundling ( LLU ) is this not so. ?

No, LLU is all at the exchange. The cabinet stuff is FTTC. Sky don't offer any FTTC products yet, to get higher speeds using the FTTC technology you would have to change to a different ISP.

Maybe i have got it all wrong then, it might be the exchange getting upgraded, i have tended to lump the exchange and cabinet into the same category, my mistake.
