 Since the regulatory approval of ADSL2+ technology in the UK, "UK Online" were able to offer services with speeds up to 22MB, and were one of the first companies to do so on a national scale.This was still based on the "Easynet" LLU coverage however.In October 2005 BSkyB purchased "Easynet" and so now also owned "UK Online", however "UK Online" continued to exist as a separate entity from Sky Broadband.
