Sky Fibre Optic

[ChrisD.]

Price of my broadband going up to £48.99 a month
For once Sky refuse to budge on price, no offers to reduce line rental from £18.99 and no offers to reduce broadband from £30.

Guess they really want people off the Pro package

That's more than I pay Zen.

Phoned up again this morning, and after being told yesterday that there was nothing that could be done, was'nt expecting much.
However within 30 seconds they fixed my price for another 12 months @ £37.40

Guess it's the luck of the draw, on who answers the phone...
Happily pay that for 80/20 with a static IP.

whats the price increases?

im looking at moving from BT to sky, £35 for fibre max pro inc line rental, doesnt seem a bad deal. plus £60 quidco

 

[haveaniceday]

im paying £30.00 for Sky Fibre Unlimited Pro and £17.40
Sky Talk Line Rental

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Had an email about a line rental rise and call charges, lines going up by £1.59, the call charges don't matter to me, as i don't have a phone plugged in, no changes to my BB pricing, just mentions theres a new tech team

is there a way to upgrade from Fibre unlimited to Fibre Pro through MySky?, The website is absolutely no help.

You should be able to, yes. Although it's Fibre Max now though.

I would have thought so too, Ive been searching the site but mysky keeps telling me "You already have our top sky package" even though I only have fibre unlimited 40/10

 

[MissChief]

You'll only be offered Max if you can get more than 57.4Meg. What does http://dslchecker.bt.com say? Use the address checker.

got this from my postcode

Sky keep emailing me saying my broadband offer is coming to an end and to check out their new offer which is 12 months half price Fibre (£10 a month) but then add "Sky Fibre Unlimited £10.00 for 12 months with £18.99 Sky Line Rental" in the collapsed t&c's.

My current offer (free line rental for 12 months, so just £20 a month for Fibre) doesn't expire until October and the new offer which I'm reading as £10 plus line rental is more expensive. Upcoming bills still show the line rental discount, feels like Sky are being a bit sneaky and trying to get me to let go of my existing offer.

So my cousin has had the third sr102 replacement and the wifi is pants. Sometimes cant connect or it loses connection. I have a HH5, can I use that as the main router? Couldnt get it to work in bridge mode.

 

[benparker]

Anyone?

 

[MissChief]

Now this is AFAIK because I've never used a HH5, but I suspect the answer is no, you can't. There's likely nowhere to enter the relevant Sky details in the settings of the HH5.

 

[haveaniceday]

just got this email ..
Get Sky Fibre Unlimited for just £10 a month for 12 months!
Half price for the next 12 months, saving you £120 .nothing about line rental going up

I did see a section that said username and password

Had an update to the Sky Yahoo Mail today, first one ive had, just came up when i went into it, had to reload (or do later).

 

[OLDPHART]

Just upgraded to a third party router from that bit of junk they call a router, well worth it.

If you thinking of getting the latest sky router save the extra and buy a descent router.

But remember it must support MER and you still need your sky username + password to connect to sky fibre.

What did you upgrade to? The SR102 is awful.

 

[MissChief]

No issues with my Hub 3/Q Hub here. Dual band, wireless ac too.
