Previous ISP - Before and after joining Sky Broadband

Just to see who your previous ISP was and how much you were paying and are paying now.

In the format of:

ISP - Name of ISP
Speed - Speed connected at
Monthly cost - How much you were paying
Sky Package - Connect / Base / Mid / Max
Speed - Speed obtained now
Quality of service compared to previous - Better / Same / Worse

Please do not add any other info, gripes, happiness as they will be removed

Re: Previous ISP

Good Idea NR. Mine as below

ISP - Pipex
Speed - 1Meg
Monthly cost - £23.44
Sky Package - Max
Speed - ~4.5meg
Quality of service compared to previous - Slightly worse due to maxing out line capability, but very happy with service as is

Re: Previous ISP

ISP - Tiscali
Speed - 1Meg
Monthly cost - £14.99
Sky Package - Mid
Speed - 5-7Meg dependant
Quality of service compared to previous - Better, both were/are reliable providers and generally the quality of service was good. Customer Service with Tiscali was poor however but then Sky's is hardly award winning.
