Among major providers it is now a dichotomy between BTw based, BTr, PN & EE, keeping WLR or Full LLU, TT & Sky, losing WLR.

With the demise of O2/Be there are no Partial LLU ISPs except resellers. Altho' legacy O2/Be BB only custs now with Sky will keep WLR and and BT, or PO & others, line rental

Yep. Overall the op would have been better staying with O2 and awaiting the mass sky move. This way they would have been kept on WLR & could have moved easier. Plus perhaps with their O2 equipment and setup it would have remained more stable.

Funny business though with Sky offering to allow O2 customers to stay on WLR for 12 months: one chap was offered it if he continued to pay £9.50 per month for BB only and another person was told that to stay on it they would have to pay an increased price from the end of September - approx £4.50 up to about £7.50, I think.

Yet the OP was offered £2.50 for BB if he took Sky full LLU. However if he had stayed with broadband only he may have had to pay £10.50 per month.

So perhaps a minimum of £7.50 for BB only or a minimum of £2.50 for BB on full LLU?

I write this lot for a reason

BT Retail is still WLR

Only Talktalk and Sky in the large providers use full LLU
