Strange issue but not unheard of when doing it online

 

You will need to call sky on 150 from your landline

@sheila07 there are various possible reasons one thst comes up quite frequently is where the fibre cabinet is currently fully sold and there is waiting list which Sky dont offer.

Do openreach cease and reprovide an line even when it relates to the same customer renewing/recontracting . I wonder what happens if the customer just accepts a rolling contract at the full undiscounted rate

@cookiemonsteruk to be honest I am not sure but its a possibilty, certainly switching isps is a cease and reprovide and if its a full cabinet a definite way to end up with an ADSL.

 

@sheila07 enter your full address in this checker https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome if you post the result we can see what is the position.

We don't no, that'd cost quite a bit for no gain at all @cookiemonsteruk 

 

The most that'd be done, would be a re-grade if the product that you were on was a legacy profile and we'd be moving to a newer package.

So the line is ceased and reprovided on renewal/recontract ? .  Even someone who moves to a rolling gets the line taken away if they move to a rolling monthly contract?

 

Apologies , just trying to get my head round this.   Has happened to a few customers more recently and i don't recall it happening before 👍

Nope, I was saying that a cease/re-provide wouldn't be beneficial. The most that can happen, is that say you are on a really old package on FTTC and you switch to a newer one that has a better upload for example, we'd regrade the line. Regrading is an order placed with Openreach to change the profile, it doesn't cease the line.

 

For this particular customer, is sounds like we are either sold out, or cannot provide FTTP to change to.  If FTTP is available for the property (usually a new service for the area) and we don't have the backhaul, again this can happen.

 

Apologies , just trying to get my head round this.   Has happened to a few customers more recently and i don't recall it happening before 👍 No probs at all - I hope it helps

For clarity, if you are renewing your contract and keeping the same package, searching for what's available at your address doesn't matter. It's only if you wanted to upgrade and we couldn't provide this, it'd matter.

 

EDIT: To stay on the current package, you can select the package in the email we send the month before you're ready to renew, or in My Sky against the package.

Thanks
