Does the song on this advert remind anyone of a particular song or one that used to be used by Sky Sports, or is this actually it?

Very similar to Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode, but according to a post I read somewhere else it was specially commissioned for 02. Very very similar riff at the end!

I agree with the comparison to Enjoy The Silence. However if you listen carefully I believe it is the same tune O2 have been using for a few years, but with heavy guitar emphasis.

Regarding the bit about being specially comissioned for O2, I think that's only half true. The tune O2 use is derived from a song called 'Blood On The Motorway' by DJ Shadow. It's pretty hard to find but if you can track down the full version it's quite an audio tour de force - upbeat during the 'O2 section', very slow downbeat at others - it runs to around 9 minutes in total. I believe that O2 may have commisioned a much shorter version of this, rather than a totally original piece.

EDIT - Here's a link to YouTube. Ignore the dodgy video someone has made, and just listen to the music.
