HandyBob Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Can any one clear up some-thing that I'm a bit concern about.... Heard that Sky is buying out O2's broadband and home phone... I am with O2 and there have not informed me yet by letter of this charge, and as I have not given O2 my permmision to past any of my details on to Sky (Name, Address, Bank Detail's as I paid O2 vai a direct debit, ect). Is O2 in breach of the Data Protection Act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gym_rat Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 now, i`m pretty sure the expensive lawyers at Sky and O2 will have thought about this before getting to this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I know they bought BE broadband, not sure about the whole o2 broadband system Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android ---------- Post added 07-03-2013 at 00:36 ---------- If Sky now own o2s broadband network, they will also own the customer accounts that go with the business they have purchased, or so I would assume.

Nick43 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 "The deal is due to complete by the end of April, subject to regulatory approval" http://news.sky.com/story/1058630/bskyb-to-buy-o2-home-phone-and-broadband I would imagine O2 customers will be informed once the buy-out has been given approval, and I find it highly unlikely either company will breach data protection, they`ve been around a few years........

geared Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I know they bought BE broadband, not sure about the whole o2 broadband system Yep they bought the lot, customers, hardware, everything. both will be rebranded as Sky. O2 will remain as a mobile operator, it will be unchanged and still owned by Telefonica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichJay Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I had an email from O2 broadband last week saying that they had been bought by Sky and that they (O2) will be send me a letter with information about what is happening and when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAxe Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Are they buying the mobile network too? I'm changing provider if so, not paying money into the pockets of Australian criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
