Title: Sky Broadband
Post by: Simba42 on March 04, 2009, 20:56:08
Hello

Just wondering if any of you have Sky broadband and what you think of it? Do you have any issues downloading and does it stay up 24/7?

Never had any trouble with mine good d/l speeds never had any connection problems my only gripe is the wireless capability of the sky router (which you have to use). Other than that for £5 a month you will have a hard job to beat it!

why do you have to use it?

You mean you can't swap the router? why not?

Even if you cant swap the router. Just don't enable wireless and plug in a WAP (wireless access point) with high gain antennas.

Broadband is good.  The only problem I have had is with the e-mail system.  It sometimes goes down but only for a short time.

I have had no issues with the router, works fine.
