Migrating from Sky Max to O2 Unlimited..

gam3r · 14 Jan 2010 at 12:34

I'm thinking about going over to O2 unlimited from Sky Max(which is £15 a month unlim)...and I was wondering how do I "migrate" over as they are both LLU services?

Also I have never had any problems with Sky MAX, infact I love it, but I want to cancel the Sky TV sub in the house so that means I will have to get rid of the internet as well...

I'm a moderately heavy user, never had any problems with Sky at all, is O2 a good choice? I have a O2 mobile phone contract as well if it helps. With Sky I get excellent speeds 15-16MB, what can I expect with O2?

Thanks

edit: Also forgot to ask, is it possible to get rid of the sky tv and keep the broadband?

Excellent, Didn't know LLU providers started using MAC keys...Any ideas on how long the process may take?

I see, thanks for the quick replies.

Can anyone tell me if O2 BB is any good? I've done a bit of reading and it seems people are happy...

I got a brief from work the other day saying that we (SKY) will be offering our broadband and phone packages without the need to have our TV package.

If you like the service that you have received from sky so far then ask them about that first. If it is not available yet then it will be very very soon.

Cheers for the heads up - But I think they would probably charge more if you did not have a Sky TV pack no?

I was under the impression that it would take about a week.

I've migrated from bulldog to a normal llu before and it only took a few mins

I've requested my MAC...they said either wait for it in the post(5 days) or ring back in 72 hours!

Also does anyone know if O2 BB is throttled?

gam3r · 15 Jan 2010 at 13:13

I called Sky today and they had my MAC ready...I bit the bullet and signed up today with O2 through Quidco..

Will keep you updated on how it goes, hopefully it's quick.

My move to o2 was flawless and I hope you have the same level of service as the rest of us.

btw. Did sky try to offer you a retention deal?

Cheers mate.

Nope they didn't even ask why I was leaving or nothing. Just gave me my MAC code/started the procedure straight away..!
