Sky Broadband moan :)

[Drew]

On sky broadband, on the crappy connect package, as the others mid max etc were not available when i signed up.

Was told when i signed up, that once these were available, i would be automatically transferred

Well I know that these packages have been available on my exchange for several months now, so called them today, and according to them, it is not available on my exchange yet (why would they offer me the £10 package, when im paying £17 a month now, of course it is not available huh)

If I go onto their own website, and select to sign up for broadband, guess what? Oh yes, all the packages are available on my exchange. (also shows it is available on sites like samknows etc)


I guess its time to get myself a mac code (been with them over 12 month) and move onto somewhere new.



So, recommendations please.
Upto 8meg
40gb download a month (preferably unlimited)
under the £17.99 a month I pay now

Tiscali are doing an up-to-8MB "unlimited" package which includes all landline calls, some international calls, and line rental - and for only £19.99 a month. Quite a good deal I think, but this is only available on limited exchanges at the moment; worth giving them a call though.

I've heard bad things about their bandwidth shaping, but I'm currently with them and easily download upwards of 40GB most months without any problems. A bit slower at peak times, but not noticable when browsing.

You wont get unlimited for that price....

A 8 meg connection used to its full will cost a isp around £1400 a month from BT.......

Could try any of the Entanet resellers, i use UkFsn.
£19.99 gets you 30 gig peak 08:00 to 22:00 mon till Fri peak. 300 gig off peak usage at all other time inc all weekend.

Avoid the Co's like Orange, Tiscalli etc.....

Another one to see if you can get is Be they have a pretty good rep, might be more expensive a month though.

After a few emails to them, they have said it is now available in my area, and will upgrade me to the 'upto 16mb' within the next 4 hours.

We will see if it happens.
