Is the router a good one?
I was skimming through DSL ZoneUK earlier and saw the following comment:-
"They look to be supplying the Netgear DG834G as a rebadged "Wireless Sky Box" - I hope they don't plan on giving that to customers on the 16Meg package - as that is ADSL2+ and the Netgear DG834G is utter crap at ADSL2+ (well known fact). "
Are they right?

It's a DG834GT and it's a very capable router, though sky have blocked access to the more interesting features (SRA, manual SNR tweaking) with no known workaround as of yet.
Stability wise it hasn't been proven but should be fine.

I have to agree with mrmojo its a great little router though when you set it up make sure you use the legs and stand it straight up as they do tend to get quite hot.
Moved to router section.Ray
Some Advice.. Its always advisable to inform your old ISP as soon as you have migrated that you have moved.
