No, they don't send out the DG834GT anymore. It'll likely be a D-Link DSL-2640S. They still issue the Sagem F@ST 2504 and Netgear V2 DG934G, so it is still luck of the draw what you receive.

Anyone I know who has just got Sky broadband has got the new D-Link DSL-2640S router, me included. I find it perfectly adequate and better than I had expected.

Re: what router do sky send out now?
Just got one of these D-Link DSL-2640S routers after our v1 netgear started acting weird. The D-Link appears to be more responsive and the wireless for us seems to be better than the netgear.
The only thing i have spotted is our line attenuation though is being shown slightly higher than the netgear did!http://www.speedtest.net/

You have a 'PEBKAC' problem

Having used the Netgear DG834GT with my last ISP. I too found that Sky's D-Link router gives me a slightly better wireless range than the Netgear.
