As a temporary solution at £5 a month while you are waiting on an LLU connection, it's fine. Other than that, as you say, don't touch with barge pole is probably correct.

Very much the same as IANTE, Year to the day I think or very close. Had a few problems at the start of traffic shaping, now organised my downloads.

Things are fine :-)

I wonder if it is pure coincidence that the only ones who seem to be satisfied are Sky agents? Surely Sky are not giving their employees preferential treatment?
