So I did. Once that's up I'm looking again as I've heard sky can do faster connection speeds around our way even though BT say we can't go any faster..

]]> Comment on Why can’t my phone-line support all the best Broadband deals? by Matt, N Ireland http://tvphonebroadband.org/6/misc/why-cant-my-phone-line-support-all-the-best-broadband-deals/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Matt, N Ireland Sat, 12 Jun 2010 09:18:06 +0000 http://tvphonebroadband.org/6/misc/why-cant-my-phone-line-support-all-the-best-broadband-deals/#comment-8 The providers put their own equipment into the exchange, thats means that costs are reduced as they dont have to pay bt for usage, and you often have a more reliable, fast connection. That process is known as local loop unbundling (LLU). It costs that much because bt charge the provider (in your case sky) to connect you to the bt network and provide you with broadband. Go to this site http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php and type in your postcode, phone number, town, city whatever you want and it will tell you what exchange you are on, then look at the right when you select your exchange and you will see something like this below LLU operator presence What is this?

If you can get o2 then you should go for them as they are very good. If you just have a load of red X on all of them then you will have to pay a lot for your internet im afraid.

BT have it in every location Sky have cherry picked the best ones.. and leave the less profitable ones alone - hence their average is better. www.samknows.com and do exchange search. then click on your exchange link.. LLU *Local Loop Unbundled* is the phrase you want. You will see some 16 odd companies.. but only 1 or 2 in each exchnage.have done it.
