Re: Previous ISP - Before and after joining Sky Broadband

ISP - NTL
Speed - 4MB
Monthly Cost - £24.99
Sky Package - Max
Speed - 16MB (connecting at about 8MB at best)
Quality of service - Downloads better but general service is poor and constantly changing ip address is a pain.

Re: Previous ISP - Before and after joining Sky Broadband

ISP - Pipex
Speed - 1MB
Cost - £23.44
Sky - Max
Speed - varies, but max speed has been 13MB+,
Service - speed is much improved, but router needs rebooting regularly, which wasn't the case with pipex
