Great service except the router
been activated since monday and I already get faster speeds than my old provider who was Cable and Wireless. original speed of 8.5mbits now 9.8+ mbits with a peak of 10.5mbits
The router on the other hand is terrible, Constantly drops the connection when doing things more than browsing a website with little graphics or flash content
its that damn sagem one which is having the problems,
Wireless causes router to crash and has a worse wireless range than my first wireless G router.
I managed to extract its username and password using the password thing and spoofed the routers mac address into my netgear DGN2000 router and had no problems at all since ive done this and wont drop the connection when using VPN connecting to work or doing something which is bandwidth hungry like video streaming

Re: Great service except the router
I had the same issue with wireless dropouts. Its the dodgy batch of Sagem routers going around.
I got Sky to send me a new one which works alot better now. If you want a new one get on the phone and start to nag at them stating about the wireless drop outs and they will send a new one to you.
