Re: Sky 80/20 Product Rumour

As has been noted, my current line is good, but i'd still consider a 40/10 product if it was priced right (ie £17.50-£20)

I feel the majority of customers are being asked to pay more to allow sky to keep their unlimited product which only benefits a few.


you basically asking sky to copy the rest of the market, as it stands they alone now, they the only isp who are even attempting to offer true unlimited unshaped FTTC. You are spoilt for choice yet the people who want unlimited and unshaped are not.

I think with some profile options made available, it would be worth £40 per month for a truly unlimited unthrottled FTTC 80/20 connection . no point in having big sync speeds if you are unable to use them when you want or need to,

Sky have gone back to the old BT method of charging more for a faster speed when in fact its data transit that costs.

The BT Openreach cost differential for a 40/2Mbps vs 40/10Mbps is pence per month and between 80/20Mbps is about £3. I won't use much more than I do now with 18/1 (ADSL2) and so whilst ill pay more for fibre there is a limit to how much more its worth paying.

With regard to the whole market being available to me and sky being the exception I disagree. Cheap fibre gets you about 20GB. 100GB packages cost more than BT/Sky/Talktalk and so aren't really worth considering.

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:
All FTTC looks less attractive download speed wise if you can get above 10 Meg at present, those who jump at the chance at often those with sub 4 Meg speeds. The desire to pay more lessens for each Meg of extra speed someone has now.


Agreed. I used to be on circa 7.5mb which was good enough for me. Then i moved a few hundred mtrs down the road and dropped to circa 3mb which is too slow.

Trying to get fibre installed by either Sky or BT is prooving to be a RPITA!!!!
