    They nearly all rent their lines from BT who have the monopoly on 95% of the phone lines in the UK, a lot (not all) of the cheaper broadband providers are just BT under another name anyway and target the people with less money.
    Sky, Virgin, Talk Talk etc all rent lines (Copper) from BT but can offer a better internet speed as they can afford to pay BT more money.
    Virgin are the only other provider who have installed their own Fibre Optic network and now offer up to 200mb speeds.
    They take the absolute piss with the internet speeds we get in our homes compared to the rest of the modern world, i was using 300mb plus speeds in work in London well over 10 years ago but i did work in a Data Centre

    London broadband speeds 'slower than a small Indian village' as Britain lags behind rest of world - Mirror Online

    @Fenster your a Sky Broadband customer so get on this mate!!

    Ok so i just called BT again completely blagged them some more and got a further £10 reduction per month on my Broadband/line rental.
    My BT Sport in HD wasn't activated when they said it would be so i got the asshole and threatened them again, it was activated in minutes (while i was further pulling their pants down)
    Then went for the kill and demanded half price BT Sports in HD from August when my Freebie runs out

    The piss was well and truly taken and i'm happy with the service anyway but have just increased my savings over the next 2 years to just over £400 when you add it all up.
    It's in writing that it's fixed too so
    Anyone can do this and you have about 20-22 days left to mug them off!
    Happy Blagging
