Sky Broadband exchange information | Forum profile

true we need major investment if we were gonna keep up with technology and bt says we dont need fibre bull**** we do need it and we need it now there only saying that cause they dont wanna spend money greedy *******s they would rather be money grabbers instead of investing in there network fibre to the cabinet isnt good enough and it is disapointing if bt dont look out they will go bust hopefully haha

The cabinets that are having to be moved are in a conservation areas in Haringay, not a very posh area at all, and it is the local council who is making BT do it. Perhaps if they concentrated on getting better child services than how a a few streets look would be a better use of their time.

Well thats unusual that you have O2/BE enabled at your exchange and not Sky as it's usually the other way around AFAIK, and thats certainly the case where I live. Personally I'd rather have O2 than Sky and most other people around here have already switched. Oh well!
