Re: Previous ISP - Before and after joining Sky Broadband

ISP - Telewest
Speed - 2Mb
Monthly cost - £17.99
Sky package - MAX
Speed - 10720 Mbps
Quality - Remains to be seen, but so far worse. Telewest set the benchmark extremely high, though.

Re: Previous ISP - Before and after joining Sky Broadband

ISP - IDNet
Speed - Approx 4Mb
Monthly cost - £24.99 (shocking I know!)

Sky package - Mid
Speed - 5020 Kbps
Quality - Sync speeds seem a lot more stable now. Was previously on the wretched ADSL Max service.
