Re: sky broadband

Is this another one of those joke Sky threads engineered by Neil?

Only asking because we had one thread asking what we thought of Sky a bit back and most of us said that yes, we are very happy with Sky broadband and then Neil said the thread was started as a joke but people kept replying to it.

Re: sky broadband

Im on sky, have had no real problems with it

At first I had a few problems losing connection / slow browsing etc but think it takes a few weeks for the signal to settle down (so they told me there) but mine was also a new phone line so could have been that

Since then though I have had no problems and would recommend it

Re: sky broadband

I have sky and the only problem i have is with the router, if you turn it off it can take an hour for you to be reconnected!

Em get in touch with them think you might need a new router. You will be on the phone for a while as they talk you through the test to do but I ended up with a new router. Took a day from phoning them to delivery

Re: sky broadband

I turn mine off every night, it reconnects within minutes ( I need it to as well as I need it to work on call )

I use teh standard Sky router as well so no fancy extra kit here
