Yep I would too.... as long as I could keep the netgear for back up!

I doubt they would replace routers by default. The number of people with 'real' problems will be a small percentage, so unless they they think by replacing the routers people will pay for VOD tehn they won;t replace them.

Re: The new Sky Router is on its way

Do you think they will review their policy about forcing you to use their router?

Re: The new Sky Router is on its way

Allegedly there are two models of the new router, one is a Netgear, and the other as we reported ages ago is a Sagem, this is not confirmed either way.
