Sky Broadband

Have just joined Sky's Broadband in April and since then I have had a delightful internet connection to use. It all matters on the package you choose with them. If you get Sky Talk or Sky TV with the deal then expect to pay cheaper prices for your broadband. It does take them a while to get you booked in for installation. I had to wait the amount of a week and a half to get my internet installed at the house. Internet set up did not take their installation team much time at all.They had set it up in around 20 minutes. The connection since then has never had any problems. The speed of each page loading up is really fast and never has even ...  Read the complete review

I have had Sky broadband from when it was first introduced by Sky, the main reason was because it was much cheaper than Tiscali - which I had at that time. For only £5 a month what can go wrong. Sky provided me with a new router, a year's free subscription to MacAfee and free connection as I went for the Max package (18mb). The service that I have got from Sky has been excellent, as when I told them that I was not receiving this 18mb broadband, they did some checks and told me that the max speed in my area was only 8mb - to which they transferred me to the lower package, gave my money back for the month with 18mb and also did not take the connection charge ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago I moved into my flat and was not sure about whether to go with Virgin or Sky but following some bad reviews of the Virgin Media broadband experience from friends I decided to go with Sky TV which came along with Sky Broadband (I knew nobody using this service at the time) and thank goodness I did. I originally managed to get myself a deal whereby I was paying £15 a month for Sky TV with 2 mixes and my Sky Broadband included giving me upto 2gb speeds with usage limits that I knew I was never going to go near. Since back then I have found my internet usage has gone up thanks to my usage of the BBC IPlayer and PS3 online services and so I decided ...  Read the complete review

We switched to Sky Broadband a month ago now and am so glad we did! The main reason we decided to switch was to save money. My existing contract was coming to an end and we were paying £14.99 a month for wireless broadband with download speeds up to 2Mb. Our internet connection would crash several times an evening, which was starting to really get on my nerves. Anyway we had a flyer through from Sky advertising their broadband service. If you already have Sky tv or decide to take Sky tv you could choose from 3 different packages: BASE: Up to 2Mb download speed with a 2GB monthly usage. This option is free if you also have/take Sky ...  Read the complete review

I just wanted to warn anyone considering signing up for Sky broadband to save yourself the bother. If after reading the below, you still sign up... you only have yourself to blame!! In April 2007 I moved house from Basingstoke to Colchester. I cancelled my Sky Broadband in Basingstoke and signed up for new Sky Broadband in Colchester. I am on the 8Mbps connection (not LLU). I always connect to the router at 8128 kbps, and get real download speeds of around 6Mbps during the daytime Mon-Fri. However, in the evenings and weekends it usually drops to around 0.5Mbps, which is unacceptable, and Sky have stated there is nothing they can do about ...  Read the complete review
