me too. Can't fault Sky LLU just don't go down the Sky Connect Route!

To say just like all the others is inaccurate.

How they throttle/manage capacity is all very different. Sky while the network is below capacity is fine with its unlimited, but look at the unmanaged network of Be when it approachs capacity and you will see why having some management can be beneficial

Ok so i called up sky and they said it would be 7.50 a month for sky unlim....12.50 for landline....and 2.50 because we dont want tv.....but first 3 months the internet will be free....the 5thbill will be around 19.75...then from the 5th bill onwards for 7 months itl be 22.25 and 30 for install..........[censored]? Is it me or are they trying to confuse the hell out of u?...the lady i was tlking to was confused herself....in the end aftershe counted the total she said it would be 224 for the year......so 18.66 a month....

Anon,

Was the extra £2.50, because you don't want tv, only quoted to you on the phone? I can not see anything about that on the Sky website. All the "Unlimited" deals seem to involve taking a Sky TV package (from £20 a month.)

Also there is a £30 set-up fee for "Connect" for customers without Sky TV but you are looking at the "Unlimited" product which should be a free set-up, although of course normally taken with a tv package...

However if those prices quoted over the phone are true then it certainly looks like a very good deal for broadband and phone

If you don't take TV, Sky Broadband Unlimited is £10 per month, plus mandatory £12.25 Sky line rental and their free call package. There is no connection fee. The current offer is a discount of £5 for the first 6 months. (It does say all this on the Sky website eventually - just proceed as if you were buying online. Please do check the Sky call plans if you use your landline, no free 0845 and some nasty call rates.)

As has been said, lack of throttling is only a good thing if the network can cope. I suffered small congestion with Sky, and Be is a nightmare right now.

I don't believe there is any significant difference in how ISPs throttle P2P and how usable it is at peak times but am willing to hear details.

Op here....somehow it ended up costing 230 in total...thats 120 for year land line...20 for installation...and 10 a month for a year with 3 months free sobin total its 230....so 19 a month..i just accepted..couldnt be arsed anymore..its a good enough price right? All sorted anyway..thanks all

Btw for anyone interested the 12.25 line rental is not mandatory...u can choose to pay a total of 120 upfront for a year which ends up being 10 a month line rental. -david

It is mandatory to take Sky line rental with Sky broadband. Sky line rental is not available for £120 upfront per annum and never has been, it is £12.25 per month.

I some how feel ripped of....like i could have saved 50 through quidco....but i could not see a option to pay upfront for line rental...i neex to sleep this is driving me nuts...il look into it later...hopefuly if i discover something i will be able to cancel the deal i did today on the phone and order through quidco
