Sky's Wifi cloud - reliable? and...

[link to this post]

...is it like BT's where it uses customers own broadband as the cloud?

The wording implies otherwise so just clarifying.

My local car dealer has "The Cloud" WiFi and its free and works very well. I gather Sky bought "The Cloud" company but I've not seen any Sky logos yet.

I've used it a couple of times at a local pub. Worked fine. Being a bit of a geek I did a speed test and got about 6Mb
