Well done Sky

Am now connected to Sky BB.
Have to say the process was very painless and speed seems good.
Was getting 7.5Meg on Be and now getting 6.5 on Sky - am not too bothered about that the money I am saving is worth the small drop in speed.

Router arrived in plenty of time and Sky took the LLU Mac code and it was used sucessfully.

Wow a happy customer

yep - only placed the order just over 2 weeks ago.

these are the router stats:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 8096 kbps 416 kbps
Line Attenuation 33.0 db 20.5 db
Noise Margin 10.0 db 14.0 db

No idea if this is good or not.

Nice one!.. I get activated tomorrow.. whoops no, today (just noticed time!!)

Hope it goes as well for me too ..;0)

Im switched on to day, I hope I'm a lucky one!

Had the service 24 hours and Im well happy. I know its early days, but I can feel the love begining to flow

Hopefully the isses they were having gettitng people connected are a thing of the past.

With the current tech support I doubt that but hopefully the overall service will improve with less initial issues on migration / connection etc - shame really, as the glitch with tech could improve their services SO much.

If someone were migrating it would infer that there is some ADSL/Broadband knowledge within the household.

This is my 3rd ISP. My swap from my old ISP to Sky meant unplug old router, plug in new sky router. I didn�t even look at the CD ROM. My transition incurred a 10-minute downtime.

If a user is new to broadband then it could be a nightmare sorting out years of DIY telephone extensions.

Its early days here, I have been with Sky 26 hours. I already miss my old static IP address and if I were to nit pick, the pre connection correspondence was not to hot. However, 9 days to connection and a faster speed, with a �100.00 saving on year one. I �m well happy.
If I was a new client to broadband, I don�t think I would have needed the engineer installation!

To anyone who is thinking of using Broadband for the 1st time, you will need top quality telephony with in your house. As I said above, undoing years of DIY telephone extensions would have caused frustration and made me think that my ISP was causing me problems.

I was getting good speeds with my old ISP, and with this knowledge, I had the confidence so gamble and join Sky. I think that moving ISP is a gamble!

The point I'm making is if you have been around the block before, you should have an idea of where you are going.

At the moment all I can say is WELL DONE SKY.

That is a very good point - I am very It Literate and I also know where to get help if I need it from unopfficial sources. The great unwashed (the general public) might not have the knoweledge. I suppose that is why people still choose AOL (Boo Hissss).
