I notice that theyve now pulled down the page I linked to above and it redirects to their main page, a couple of other pages I looked at this am have now also gone too.
I see theyve also got rid of the 1Mb product at £9.99 too and are no longer advertising IPStream services. The products they are offering now seem to be the same speed rates as what Sky offer.
I really dont see how they can withdraw some of the older accounts though, afterall they must have some customers on the old £9.99 accounts, surely they cant make them upgrade and pay an extra fiver? it would sure be a get out of contract clause :/ Not sure what they are doing about their IPStream accounts either.
Notice they have got rid of the £25 connection fee on the Pro and Premier accounts. I know their packages are classed as unlimited - but is it just me that thinks the lite and pro accounts seem a bit pricey for LLU? (certainly isnt going to atrract the "lighter users")
Just for history records before I change them in my d/b the old accounts they offered were
> 1Mb 9.99 LLU only 12 N 3
> 2Mb 14.99 LLU only 12 N 3
> 8Mb 19.99 LLU exchanges.768k upstream 12 N 3
> 1Mb 19.99 IP Stream 12 N 1
> 2Mb 24.99 IP Stream 12 N 1
>22Mb 24.99 LLU exchanges.768k upstream. 12 N 3
Edited to add
I succumbed and phoned up their free-phone no to ask.
They
are now using the sky dsalms and its why they can now offer me 16Mb when they couldnt a few weeks ago.
The other thing is that the new pricing is for
both LLU and IPStream and theres no longer any different price structure between the two types. The old accounts remain in force for anyone on them.
D'oh what I did forget to ask is why sky is saying the exchange is full - yet UKO are saying it isnt!
The guy took my details too and checked availability proudly telling me that I could get the full 16Mb.
Actually the sales guy seemed quite knowledgable and didnt go "huh?" at some of the "key words" that I threw in the conversation.
