No, the free 2GB broadband is on Sky's LLU.

Hello Jamie, Thanks for the reply,
No the 2GB is on "ordinary" adsl - not connect.
Pattie was with o2, paying for the phone line and a "cheap" amount (about £3) for the normal adsl BB.
As I said, when Sky took over o2, they seem - presumably only in my sister's case, according to batboy - to have assumed she would "want" to be a new customer with Sky - and pay for that privilege.
She needed/wanted phone and minimal BB which is what she had with o2, but Sky wanted her to pay £50/60 to "migrate".
Cheers, Les.

Despite me telling this guy - at least five times during his sales pitch - that my sister would only want the basic phone service, and the 2GB 'free' BB

Assuming she is an existing O2 cust being transferred to Sky, isn't it dangerous saying she wants Sky Lite when as an O2 user she is entitled to being seamlessly transferred to Sky Unlimited? To the Sky agent it would seem you are asking for a new package, even if it a downgrade.

Unless she is out of Sky's LLU area. What exchange?

What are you missing, batboy? How the hell would I, or you, know if she were the "only one"? Answer is - neither you nor I would, so don't keep on being a provocative, troll-type poster, and give us all a break. Is that an adequate answer?

It seems odd she was paying £3 for broadband if she could get free 2GB broadband as a Sky customer.

I haven't seen any other posts about this. Have you?

What's the point of quoting whole of OP just to make a couple of small points that don't need quotes? Just wasting screen space!

Just so, Oliver, That's the whole point. Former o2 customers did not ask to be "sold-off" to Sky: that being the case, it's not reasonable to expect them to pay for the facility of being able to "join Sky"; there are far better deals out there..
Cheers, Les.

Indeed I haven't - yet - but that means what, exactly?
Maybe I'm the only one that can be arsed to air the subject!
