Anyone thinking of changing to use these guys?
I'm tempted but am also wary. Currently have BT BB, and although I pay a lot for it, the quality of service is damn good. I hear all sorts of horror stories from colleagues about other (cheaper) providers that seems to have problems at busy times.
Also, will using Sky BB automatically change my background to a burberry pattern?

Mine said they will be rolling out networks over the next 6 months (whatever that means).
In the meantime you can buy up to 8mb broadband for £17 per month.
Then wait until they have done whatever they are doing, and then get the choice of 3 options.
Base - monthy fee - FREE - up to 2mb data rate and 2GB monthly cap.
Mid - £5 monthly fee - up to 8mb data rate and 40GB monthly cap.
Max - £10 monthly fee - up to 16mb data rate and unlimited useage.
Sounds good, but most things that sound good don't always turn out that way....will have to wait and see.

I'm moving soon and I'm mighty tempted - a tenner a month for unlimited 16Mb usage is a bargain, plus I'll be wanting Sky.
Not sure whether I'd get the full whack, but it can't hurt since PlusNets support went south...

Anyone have knowledge on the new BT Home Hub please?
Haven't had time to do the research yet except it only has 2 ethernet ports
Got a freebie in the post, so was wondering whether to bother with it or not

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but as far as I can work out from the blurb it sounds like it is basically a wireless router, I got the impression that it also supports VOIP (presumably BT have set up their own SIP directory, so only to other people using the same BT service or by paying for an outgoing call) using a DECT handset or an ordinary handset.

Think your right there. Just been reading the blurb & I also reckon the voip is only available BT to BT customers. OK if everyone is BT
Understand, though, it will be transmitting tv programmes etc but don't quote me til I've done more reading/research first

In the same position here. Never had a problem with BT.
Going to wait and see what www.moneysavingexpert.com make of it... they slated the Talk Talk "free" BB service...
I must confess I'm with Podie on this one.
Been with BTB for about 4+ years now, and have not had 1 iota of problems with them whatsoever.
Yes - I pay top dollar for it compared to the competition, but other than that I have no complaints whatsoever.
Now, if they could drop their price £10 to match the rest I'd be well chuffed.
But then, on the other hand - I pay for the full Sky package and Sky+, and if I get a good package at a good price, then I might be tempted.

16mb is LLU, that is great for big cities, but if u live in a vilage, maybe in 10-20 years time ?
basic package 2 GB, great for email but then sky have some BT client for distrbuting movies over the net, you will use up all allowance and then techsupport wil sell u the upgraded verion of 40 GB for what was it £20 per month ?
approx 5 GB per dvd and that is 8 films per month u can download and nothing else
they also have a fair usuage policy that was noted to have been not published, if money is all u care about, go for it, iuf u want service, theymight not be the best choice

£10 a month from memory - it still looks like a good deal to me. I wonder what actual contention ratio they run at though, I suspect that's how these ultra cheapies make their money.

Can I be lazy and ask what they didn't like about it? The price looked pretty keen.

£5 quid for the 8mb 40gb package, £10 gets you unlimited at up to 16MB.
