Big caveat here!!
Sky offer the following (so long as you have Sky TV):
- Up to 2Mb with a 2Gb/month cap, free.
- Up to 8Mb with a 40Gb/month cap, £5/month.
- Up to 24Mb with no cap, £10/month.
All of the above is subject to a "setup fee" of £40, and it only counts if your exchange has been unbundled (LLU - Local Loop Unbundled). If you're not unbundled, you get the following:
- Up to 2Mb with 2Gb cap, £15.99/month.
- Up to 8Mb with 40Gb cap, £17.99/month.
Again, there is a £40 connection fee. There is no option for ADSL2 if your exchange isn't LLU'd. The reason for this is that they need to piggyback on someone else's broadband network to be able to use the phoneline (even if you move to Sky Talk, that doesn't move your line to Sky ownership).
