o2 Broadband now owned by Sky - I'm not happy

[Swales lives]

Just got an email from o2, informing me that from Autumn, I will be a Sky customer.
I'm not happy with this at all. I avoid Murdoch's companies (newspapers and TV) and now I'm one of his customers!

It's a pain in the arse this, I'm more than happy with o2, I get a crackin' deal and the customer service is excllent, switching Broadband is an arse ache. So who would you recommend I switch to? and don't say BT, they are bobbins.

I am with the post office.

Free calls to mobiles at the weekend with no frills internet that I've never had a problem with.

If paying £23.00 a month with a great phone plan and 7.5mb internet is for you?

It feels that way sometimes, I've been married 13 years.

I'm with Be*and they too are becoming Sky. I've jumped ship to all Sky (tv/phone/bb) and am saving £15/month.

Its inevitable that all these small broadband providers will be brought by Sky or maybe TalkTalk just like NTL (now Virgin) did with all the cable companies back in the 90's early 00's. Sky cant compete with Virgin and BT as they have laid the fibre networks all over the oche so will snap up customers by acquiring the smaller providers

As for not getting Sky because of Murdoch well thats just petty especially considering he doesn't even own Sky
