Currently BE customers with multiple static IP addresses are being left high and dry by Sky after the takeover. BE customers with a single static IP address are waiting to see what Sky come up with. And Sky have still to get back to us about using our own modem/routers (which some BE customers are keen to do). Sky have stated that they'll be turning off the BE network in Spring 2014 - so if we haven't taken up a Sky offer by then, we need to have moved to another ISP,
Some "BE Unlimited" and "BE Pro" customers might be interested in the Home::1 package (with its single static IP address). Now most BE customers will have a TG585v7 or TG582n modem/router supplied by BE - and these no longer need to be returned to BE when you leave BE. So if A&A supplied a suitable template file for these boxes (or just the 582n), you needn't send out another modem/router.
