Our story makes front page of TBB

I doubt it, they would have told *US* to register it if that was the case. If Sky own the domain, they could theoretically take it offline whenever the going got too tough.

Of course you are true about them owning the domain! Its always good to see the glass as half full!

Nice of those site to credit SkyUser from breaking the story.

And still the rumours continue, no link to us though.

A BSkyB representative would not discuss details, saying: "Sky has become the UK's fastest-growing broadband and telephony provider since our launch last year. We're now examining options to broaden access to the benefits and value that we can provide. However, no plans are confirmed at this time."

"While we are not sure about the name, we believe this would make strategic sense."

FT.com / Home UK / UK - BSkyB set to offer standalone broadband option

We are extremely confident that the name is Picnic Broadband, not only by the PM's and emails that we have received, but by pretty definitive words / actions.

Watch this space, November is not that far away.

A full 10 days before TBB did, which is where everyone got the information from. TBB and The Register, are the only ones to acknowledge it.

Grrrr - How annoying is that?

I did say somewhere on here the other day that a lot of the sites like The Register are not giving enough credit to this site and that link just proves my point.

Changing tact for a minute, you a like a bloodhound on this aren't you
