I've had it for a while now. The router's actually quite good; it's a Netgear DG834GT. Took a couple of weeks from ordering to activation but that's because the system Sky have in place to order it isn't quite as straight forward. It's just like normal ADSL though, they send you the router and you wait for the line to get activated for it. I'm on the Max package, and it's nice and fast.

It's the 8Meg i'm looking for. I've got 4 meg tiscali at the mo. I don't pay for it, as they don't tak emoney out of my accout. But, it's not even running at 1 Meg.

Mine's the "upto 16meg" package but due to the distance from my exchange I get about 8meg download and 750k upload.
I could downgrade to the 8meg package which costs less, but the one I'm on only costs £10 and it's unlimited.

I use Sky Broadband here, quite good for £10 a month!

http://www.skyuser.co.uk probably best place to get advice/info on it.

I've now cancelled my Tiscali and arranged for my sky to be done this morning. Cheers for the replies.
