Hi guys,
Quick question: I am about to move to a new property which currently does not benefit from FTTC. Thus I can only get Sky's LLU package rather than fibre as it stands.
However, according to the BT Wholesale Checker, FTTC is planned to be available from September.
Question is this: if I was to sign up for their LLU deal with tv etc...would I be able to be migrated on to the fibre package for an additional monthly cost (and not get stung)...or should I wait until their fibre deal is officially available at the property before getting into a 12month contract.
Thanks in advance. JB

Best off speaking to sky. IMO I would wait a couple of months.

After years of waiting fibre has just become available in my area (yay).
I'm thinking of going with sky, however, am I right in thinking the sky hub will only have 3 usable networking ports after setup?

It's alright, one of them is the sky box, I've got a wireless connector around somewhere I should be able to use.
My contract was up so called them up, Got TV including Movies, Line Rental, Sky Fibre Pro all for £53 a month for 12 months.
Fibre enabled Thurs but only the 40/10 package ordered, rang complaints dept who listened to calls to confirm i was to get the 80/20. They said very sorry about this and gave me a tenner a month off for 6 months. BARGAIN!

Crikey that is good Wynthorpe.
I just got half price sports, and fibre for free for 6 months ('cause I have sky sports). Hopefully £50 cashback on the fibre will track too to try and avoid the activation fee.
Can't top the deal above though because of the line rental, nice.

I got 2.5mb down and 0.3 up before fibre! Its been life changing past 24 hours haha.
Just upgraded to the 80/20 service
So far seen steady speeds of 9mb/sec down and approx 1.8mb/sec up.
Anyone got this upgrade for free somehow
When I upgraded a day after my install I was told it would be a new 12 month contract, although in that case all it did was add an extra day. I think regrading the service with Openreach restarts the 12 month contract with them which is why Sky do it.
