Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?

[steve16751]

Would be good to charge say after a letter if on connect and use as IANTE say`s 116gbs
40gb £17 then say another £34 for next 40gb then double £68 always rounding of to the nearest 40gb which would mean 116gb would be £119.00 I think that would make them think.
Just an Idea
Test 20:25 20/04/09 by about 23:30 monday usually around 850kbps we will see

Hi Gazz you enjoy. Sky is going to get better the problem is them admitting there is a problem seen some really unbelievable low speeds but mine still usable so I am happy keep the faith

[Gazz380]

For £1 More i think i know where my ISP lyes and it aint in the pockets of SKY

Still streamin radio

The thing is if you are paying £17 and having problems unless Sky can do something about it then you have no choice

but you post the same quotes about 4 times a day, the same link to anyone who's on Connect (regardless if they're actually bothered about the slow down) and you sound like a broken record (which i'm sure some would say the same of me!!)...

might be worth letting this thread die the death it deserves...people can use the search function if they're new and on Connect...
