I wish I could get Sky LLU as I could have the cheap sky package aswell, anyway there pro's and cons but so far if your line is good you can get upto 16mb on sky LLU. Like all companies they offer a great deal & hook you in to a 12 month contract.

My Brother seems to like his sky internet & so far he gets 7mb on an 8mb line which better than his 4.5mb connection he had with BT.

LLU = Local Loop Unbundled... means they have their own equiment at the exchange (adsl2)

so llu is better in what respect :confused:

is it more stable with constant speeds

Not really, it's still dependent on the copper pair between your house and the exchange.

The main feature of LLU for now is that they offer things BTw don't - like ADSL2+. Your connection might be a bit faster if you fall between two IP profiles as well, because AFAIK no LLUer uses the same system.
