Sky are OK, If you do change it will take a few weeks for the connection to become stable. Basically the first few weeks its is constantly trying to get the fastest possible speed for you depending on how noisy your line/ how far from the exchange you are etc. Once its settled itself as to how fast ouy can connect its fine from there on. Mine had a minor issue and when I contacted them they sent an email which was clear accurate and sensible in the steps to resolve. (In my case I'd managed to dislodge the phone cable inside the box when switching from Orange to Sky so I was only getting 2Meg and even then not particularly stable. Pluging into the internal connction of the main box gave me a nice stable 11M.
Which exchange do you go through? Accy or Haslingden?

In addition, if you are going to get SKY get Sky+, its absolutely the BEST home electronics gizmo going. A real example of where technology completely changes how you watch TV for the better and one that I would be very loathe to do without now. Remote record is a top service once its set up and working
