Signed up twice over the past 2 weeks and haven't heard from Sky yet. I am a Sky customer with TV, Phone and Broadband (Unlimited) package, would've thought they would want to contact me ASAP regarding the trial tbh.

Sounds silly but make sure u don't tick the box saying don't contact me for promotions etc.

The name u sign up with has to be account holder.
 
nice speeds, did you have sky broadband already and then apply?

Just switching to sky at the moment from VM, and applied for the promotion but heard nothing (about 1.5 weeks now) so will re apply once I got the broadband running.
 
SKY Network-> Sky exchange equipment->Switch to the BT Fibre from exchange to cabinet-> Copper wire to my house.


so fibre is never truly fibre as it goes to copper at the end!?

That's correct. Fttp is fiber to your property.

Yes I was with sky broadband on an llu exchange first.

It took 2 weeks to receive my call :)

i never know what all the acronym's mean !!!
im still on sky max (bt phoneline) which im suppose to get upto 20mb but i actually get around 7/8mb constant. bonus is it has never failed me and is truly unlimted (or atleast they never moaned about the amount i download)
 
fttc = fibre to the cabinet , then copper for the rest of the way
fttp = fibre to the pole, then copper to your home
ftth = fibre to your home, all the way in fibre

Most people will get fttc rollouts, Bt have said if you want to pay for fttp/h yourself you will be able to in a year or so, but at a yet to be determined cost (Prob £1k+)
