ThinkBroadband
have rumoured that BSkyB are to launch a new broadband service called 'Picnic
Broadband'.
It's expected to be a broadband only service which differs from it's existing
services in that customers do not have to be tied in to any of it's satellite
services.
Connections are most likely to use LLU connections from Easynet, which Sky own
and currently use for it's LLU service and be connected via a new Netgear
wireless router.
Although Picnic Broadband seems a strange name for a broadband service it
seems that quite a few related domain names have been registered to the same
person/company who registered
skycast.
Sky as you'd expect wouldn't confirm or deny the rumours, but gave
thinkbroadband the following statement.
| "Sky is the UK's fastest growing broadband provider and we're
always looking at ways to bring quality and value to even more
customers. However, no plans are confirmed at this time." |
