About LinkBacksAnyone has any positive feedback about sky broadband. I'm with BT at the moment with the 8MB connection but just got sky+ installed and wondered what Sky's 16mb connection was like.

so far i have had broadband with them for 3 weeks. but connection keeps disconnecting constantly. have tried to get support for the last 2 weeks (not great speaking to India and told it was my anti-virus...funny thing is I had no antivirus installed.
finally today someone rang me back after I kicked off with India again on the phone demanding some service and they offered to change the router over
not very impressive. but if a new router can help fix the problem. then £10 a month for a 12mb unlimited* line (cant get the full 16mb) isn't bad now is it
my advice if u are getting 8mb with BT and its stable, then stick with them
Common problem with that router with the SKY BB firmware.finally today someone rang me back after I kicked off with India again on the phone demanding some service and they offered to change the router over
I spoke to them today aswell and a new generation router from Netgear is being delivered in 10 days to solve it.
My old house i could get 15-16mb. My new house is alot further from the exchange and im only getting around 9-10mb.
Still bloody good for a tenner though.
do they actually mind how much you download then or not? as im with pipex and have been looking at sky alot.
They dont seem to.Originally Posted by Cozwin
I d/l ALOT each month and they havent mentioned it to me. No caps are in place either.
There is a FUP but it must be massive.
I was with pipex for a good few years and I believe they are solid.
I have heard many things about sky, its a hit and miss, either your lucky and everything works or if it doesnt then strap in for the ride

Try your own router instead of the Sky provided one.
They are notoriously rubbish!

Hi Rev. thanks for your suggestion, i know how to get my details its just I feel that Sky should be supplying me with hardware that works...but if it continous I will look into buying a new one. maybe the new netgear which seems popular
