Not surprising. I suspect if Sky had wanted the wholesale division then they could have bought it, but they just wanted the retail customers.

I still have a mobile contract w/ O2.

Once that runs out though, I'll be going to T-Mobile.

We're not discussing O2 Mobile, this thread is about O2 Wholesale Broadband.

Well somethings odd. All the resellers I spoke to in August told me they had just signed or were signing new 2 year contracts with o2W. I will speak with Aquiss later and see what they say.

Right, customers in contract will be moved to a BT based wholesale (WBC) until such times as can be moved to another Wholesaler eg. TTBusiness W/sale, C&W W/sale. So back on BT profile sytem for a while. All has to be done by 27 Feb14. Hope its not long, don't relish paying £18pm for BT although the backhaul goes thru Entanet.
