1.2 & 1.8gbps packages Openreach

Hi, has anyone heard anything about the large Openreach ISP’s such as sky adopting the new Openreach FTTP tiers?
 
Sky lagged behind for a while when the 900Mbs option came out if I recall so it may be the same.
 
Currently, only EE has packages, with Zen expected to follow shortly. Often it can take anything from a few months to 1-2 years before a lot of ISPs catch up, which is partly down to the extra work and cost required to support faster tiers.

In terms of Sky, in the past they were often early adopters, but for the FTTP generation they've tended to be laggards. I'd thus expect TalkTalk and Vodafone to launch on the new tiers before Sky does, but you never know.

One catch with TalkTalk is that they're a bit cash strapped, which can make adapting a network to cope with even faster speeds a bit more of a challenge (the may be tempted to push it back).

The only few providers I've heard that are intending to launch are Zen, Vodafone, IDnet & Aquiss. Although not to say other will launch too

For Sky, nothing imminent from my source
 
I would have been tempted by the 1.2 if it had a better upload but alas openreach...

Had a look at their finances after this post, less than £2 in cash per customer. o_O

Although the figures I looked at were prior to them selling their business division to their own shareholders.
