    best one i've been with

    router best one I have had too....


    Sky get no complaints from me


    (although i hear there CS support is absolutely *****, but then again, every ISP I have heard of are the same)....


    if you have no problems with your land line, then you will get no probs with sky


    that also includes, BT saying I couldn't get broadband, or I would be lucky to get 250kbs, and here I am steaming via Sky LLU at 1700kbs....


    BT get a royle finger big time

    If you decide to go for it.....

    and you have never been with sky before in your name, go through Quidco. They are doing £85 cashback for new customers - bargain!

    I've got in the UK and it works OK

    Not there all the time so for £5 per month it's by far the cheapest. Had one or two problems but always manage to sort them out.

    One funny thing though. After I've been away for a few weeks, when I return I have to turn the router on and off about 3 times before I get a connection - other than that no problems.

    they are excellent,cant beat it for a £5 a month,the call centre for customer services/i.t problems is u.k based as well which helps a lot.
