    Soo pleased I didn't move to SKy broadband

    They had a sales push over Christmas and Mr C showed me the blurb.

    It seems that apart from me, it was quite successful.

    Greedy Sky admits: We crippled broadband with TOO MANY users ? The Register

    I was tempted but did my research and went with BT, I know their rep isn't A1 but in Infinity it seems to be - and it is - over a year now and zero problems apart from p2p throttling which is easily got round.

      But this is exactly what happened with Virgin cable in my area.
      Moved to Sky and its been fine.
      So the moral of the story is: check what's happening in your area.
      Hard Brexit now!

        Since switching from NTHell (Vegan) to SKY I have regretted it. <1mb and being charged for "Up to 20mb"
        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          Infinity isn't in my exchange but if it does appear I may well switch.

                Got Sky TV and Sky broadband - it was cheap but they had it crippled to 4 Mbits even though I on same street with local exchange and had 16 Mbits whilst living few streets away.

                Recently it had been losing connection regularly under load (Steam), sadly can't get cable as it's the new house that isn't connected (but Sky had brains to put communal dish on top), but will switch to BT Infinity as soon as it's in town...

                    A comment quoted in the article

                    Internet is completely unusable, so this is the THIRD night in a row that I am unable to fulfil my contractually obligated working from home via the internet, so a third night's overtime lost. Not only is this a pain, it's actually losing me wages.
                    What a pathetic loser - You'd think someone who relied on broadband financially would have the nouse to pay a little more for a reliable service such as Zen Internet (not a plug, just an example).
