Soo pleased I didn't move to SKy broadband

[suityou01]

I'm on Virgin and the only issue I get is caused by my router (not the super hub as that is only used as a modem)

The other day I did a speed test at speedtest.net and got 62Mb download and 3mb upload. Fine by me.

My cock's still bigger though

What a pathetic loser - You'd think someone who relied on broadband financially would have the nouse to pay a little more for a reliable service such as Zen Internet (not a plug, just an example).

WHS

A real pathetic loser - he actually has to work!

HTH but BIDI

A comment quoted in the article

Internet is completely unusable, so this is the THIRD night in a row that I am unable to fulfil my contractually obligated working from home via the internet, so a third night's overtime lost. Not only is this a pain, it's actually losing me wages.

Switch to Sky and get £100+ cashback from Quidco

HTH.

Got Sky TV and Sky broadband - it was cheap but they had it crippled to 4 Mbits even though I on same street with local exchange and had 16 Mbits whilst living few streets away.

Recently it had been losing connection regularly under load (Steam), sadly can't get cable as it's the new house that isn't connected (but Sky had brains to put communal dish on top), but will switch to BT Infinity as soon as it's in town...

Ahh so it wasn't Sky Fibre?

If ur on ADSL2 try Be - they are excellent...

I was with them for years and always A1, but they missed the Fibre gravy boat....

I have been with Be* for years (pre O2 take over) and still on their legacy tarrif, unlimited downloads and zero throttling for £13 a month

Infinity isn't in my exchange but if it does appear I may well switch.

I was tempted but did my research and went with BT, I know their rep isn't A1 but in Infinity it seems to be - and it is - over a year now and zero problems apart from p2p throttling which is easily got round.

Since switching from NTHell (Vegan) to SKY I have regretted it. <1mb and being charged for "Up to 20mb"

They had a sales push over Christmas and Mr C showed me the blurb.

It seems that apart from me, it was quite successful.

Greedy Sky admits: We crippled broadband with TOO MANY users ? The Register

But this is exactly what happened with Virgin cable in my area.
Moved to Sky and its been fine.
So the moral of the story is: check what's happening in your area.
