It's all gobbledygook to me but any comments, is it good bad or fair?

Conclusion: Installation of Sky + and broadband was hasslefree and everything arrived when they said it would, current speed is just under 6mbit I feel it could be a little faster, usually 6.5 - 6.8 mbit with Pipex but early days, I'll keep a eye on it. reason for migration was for tv plus cheaper broadband.

Order tracking currently shows:

Your order is progressing fine, but we've had a huge response to Sky Broadband, so you may need to wait up to three working days from your estimated activation date before you can start surfing with Sky Broadband. The estimated date is: 06/02/2008

I will update this post as soon as I am able to access here via Sky BB and finally after a week or so, once the connection has settled down.

RTB.
