is there likely to be any benefit to waiting for the local exchange to go adsl2 and staying with plusnet?

If you do go to Sky for their BB then not too long ago I was offered free unlimited broadband for a year to switch over with phone (this was at the time of the 6 month unlimited offer but an 'under the counter' offer) so you could ask for that if they don't offer you it or better.

i think fibre is a way off for me so the best estimate i get from sky is 9-16 mbps
stalk stalk, nicely put, were horrendous to deal with, i happend to do a line test by putting in my phone number and then some woman phoned up who i am sure was trained by the gestapo, so they can put their BB up their router in my opinion..........

@spotter - Must be paid by commission only as I once spoke to them after checking and went through the costings and then they said so ok to switch over now? I said I would need to think and took the wind out of their sales (sic) so to speak! Then every day they called back and never got to speak but when I did cut them off speaking and said 'not interested and stop calling'. Not the way to sell and pressure sales has the opposite effect for me. If the product is that good it would sell itself.
Good luck with Sky as they can be a bit elusive with 'deals' too

Got a junk letter from them a few days ago (addressed to a previous occupant of the house), and that went straight into the paper recycling bin.

Most tentative enquiries I give a false number, and post-code.
I live at 27a, Letsby Avenue !
or sometimes ... 221b Baker Street
Postcode .... where I used to work, diff name etc.
For deliveries and postal mail I ask for.
My initials, first one is true, second one relates to company to help trace spam mail, ie STT for Simon TalkTalk (Made up)

Quote I put my telephone number in some time ago and every now and then they turn up at the door asking "has anyone been to tell you about free calls/broadband?" or "did you receive the pack in the post?"
@ The 10th, i remember now, i got 2 young podgy little scroats turn up at my door asking if i knew about the free broadband and the conversation lasted about 30 seconds proabaly down to me telling them i aint surprised its free if you talk to people like s%*t, who would pay for it, didnt see them again.....
well i have made the jump after being with plusnet for as long as i can remember, i got a standard deal of free unlimited BB and calls for 6 monhs and then i think everyting including line rental is £25 / month, i am paying £20 / mth for my old legacy your way pro, which has been brilliant and was really reluctant to end it as its no longer available, and i pay about £18 a month to BT so as long as i get the near the estimate of 9-16 mbps and the upload will be 3 times quicker i think, it shouldnt be too bad. i wouldnt hesitate to come back to plusnet if it ever goes to fibre, as i think i am now paying sky nearly £90/ mth after the 6 month period so i aint really impressed with getting a bog standard deal........
these forums are the best BB forums i have ever used.......... i'm filling up

just spoke to sky broadband and it turns out that after i have just set up all my wireless downstairs to 5ghz using my netgear dgnd3300 and wnce3001, networked my telly sky box and xbox, as my next doors nuclear powered bt homehub makes my 2.4ghz useless, they wont let me use my own router and would have to use theirs which is type n 2.4, that blows.......
