Broadband line

[Paulshakey]

Is it correct that I am loosing my broadband in August due to BT closes our local exchange and sky can't provide me with an internet service

@Paulshakey 

Sadly this does appear to be correct as a number of other people have also been sent the same email or letter that you have.

Unfortunately this does appear to be the case for properties which aren't within reach of FTTP and where Sky doesn't have the correct equipment to offer a SoGEA circuit over copper.

For reference, it's BT that is the designated Universal Service Obligation provider.

Nobody has contacted me from sky except in trying to offer me an upgrade which seems pointless if they can't honour the offer.

If nobody has contacted you where does the August date come from that you have mentioned in your opening post so have you been sent a letter or email ?

[Paulshakey]

I have only received a text to say Sky can't provide me with internet after August, please

find another provider and that's it so not at all helpful 

[Paulshakey]

I received a text message that's all but which I was ensure was real but it is actually from sky as I have just found out.

That really isnt a great way to deliver the news as state very least I would except a letter or email but sadly it does appear that it is correct. If you want further confirmation give Sky a call or check your account here to see if anything appears:

I can confirm Sky can't provide with internet after August and amazingly they said that they won't charger me early exit fees if I move to another provider, how very thoughtful of them 🤣🤣 I have now put in motion changing to Virgin foe half the price and no set up fees 👍🏻
