Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
well lets hope not as if sky do anything like snooping I wont be very happy but I am happy with sky at the minute. in terms of fibre well it would be nice to have it as a option on the sky package page. but all we can do is be patient and see what they can do.

Re: Sky will be looking to run trials of fibre-optic broadband
You asked for this thread to be closed before as you stated there is no sky fibre planned. Unfortunately we didn't close it as your information couldn't be further from the truth. Please do not make posts like this again. Originally Posted by bubsy83
