Hi, I think it's because unlike Virgin Media, for example, Sky doesn't provide any kind of line rental, nor does it provide cable services, so I guess one way around this is to require users signing up to their broadband service that a BT line is necessary. I know there's Virgin Media and other companies offering their own line rental, but it must be a fierce competition out there, and since 90 odd percent of us are on BT, Sky might as well use the most common denominator. Hope this helps. -- Chris Hallsworth Please visit my blog at http://chrishallsworth.wordpress.com You wrote: Hi All I was just wondering if anyone knew if their was a particular reason why if you had Sky TV you needed a BT land line Thanks Sam ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
