nawbus Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 The Mrs had decided that we should have the Sky TV, phone & broadband package. Now this does make since as it's cheaper than just the phone and broadband we have at the moment. BUT, is Sky broadband any good? Are they reliable? I can see the benefits of the package, but I'm not convinced that I won't have to wait yonks to be connected!
plexer Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Check the price because unless your exchange is unbundled you may pay more than what is advertised. Ben
Guest Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 My neighbor has sky and its pants, I had talk talk, that’s worse. I not sure what’s worse no internet or talking to the Muppets in there support center. I believe the connection quality depends on your distance from the exchange. Watchdog did a piece on Broadband the other day check it out http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/broadband_survey.shtml
plugged_in Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I would highly recommend Virgin Media Package You get unlimited downloads!
nawbus Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 I would highly recommend Virgin Media Package You get unlimited downloads! Ahh yes, but herself wants SKY!
plugged_in Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 ahh well i would say it was a good package then haha
jumpinjamez Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I would highly recommend Virgin Media Package You get unlimited downloads! I have this with the V+ box - like sky plus but better as records 2 things at once and lets you watch another. It also has catch up TV which has last weeks TV highlights on demand. And has TV on demand which has loads of full series show availabe to watch any time. I had SKY but changed and am well chuffed.
Elky Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Well I had an activation date of January 25th for Sky Broadband. It still wasnt on by 24th February and all I kept getting told was they are dealing with it, give it a couple more days. I've now told them where to stick it obviously!

Had a nasty feeling that was going to be the case!
Elky Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I read up on them after that (I know, I should have done it before!) and noticed so many with the same problems. Bad experiences I'm sure there are plenty out there who have had no problems though but from what I've experienced and heard, I'm staying well away now
cheesypete Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I was very tempted until I heard that the whole Sky broadband infrastructure was incredibly flaky - and this was down to the fact that they'd "inherited" a load of old equipment rather than implementing brand spanking new systems
plugged_in Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 yeah they bought over the company that went down the drain called easy net or something like that.
