Excellent - so far!

Well, on Sky Broadband now as 42 minutes ago my BT router came to a stand still and I got my new Sky router out and plugged it all in and it works!!

Downtime of about 5 minutes switching the routers over and Sky BB is performing very well, slightly quicker than BT.

I'm glad I changed over, it's saving me a hell of alot of dosh too!

Wireless is excellent as well!

Hate to say it but - keep your fingers crossed!

The wireless features of the sky (netgear) router are notoriously bad, I cannot say if it is the sky firmware which is being used or the actual model of the router as I have to use another netgear router which I have to use for feeding media around the house.

Try feeding some big files through it wirelessly (?) or use your pc as a media server via the sky router and things will come to an abrupt end

For general surfing (wired or wireless) it should be ok (make sure you turn off the UPNP feature on the router).

If you do manage to get a nice stable connection and a respectable download speed the you should be well pleased (as I am I should add).

£10 for a constant 14.6Mbps d/l speed and I was paying Virgin Media £38 a month for the same speeds.

Glad things are going well for you - this is an amazing forum to get help with all things "sky" so keep popping back for updates and hints.

Mine was activated Wednesday as predicted (didn't need to wait the 3 working days) speed was ok but then kept dropping to sub 700kbps but since yesterday afternoon its approx 11900 kbps and rock steady so am well pleased The router seemed a bit flaky with poor signal strength however a change of location and its now fine. Haven't tried my XBOX360 yet but my macbook plus a variety of Windows/Linux laptops/towers are all fine and all connected easily.

its great that wireless is working great for you..

for some reason when i try to have my wireless connected it wont remember the WEP key number so keeps cutting the internet off after a few minutes and its very annoying...

so cant go wireless maybe its my wireless card or the router?

otherwise breoadband is great
