greenlands Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Just been reading July issue magazine,something which I very rarely do,usually straight into the bin.A GREAT DEAL FROM SKY.As from August 1st.they will be increasing my my download speed to 10Mb, marvellous , because of the distance I live from the exchange the MAXIMUM I can get is 1.2Mb so I'm no better off.They are now because of this GREAT PACKAGE, DECREASING my download from 40 Gig/month to 10 Gig.Thank you for you kind consideration. Who's your provider,what's your download limt and how much is it. It's only a couple of month ago that I was saying what a great deal SKY was.Opinions can change VERY fast. Lindsay C. PS. In this area there is now NO terrestial TV. Sky are the only provider appart from free view,I see their packages are also going UP from Sept 1st. Lindsay. PPS.Do you think your getting your monies worth ie.download speed.Try the link below just done mine I get 824kbs. Lindsay.

Guest Grasshopper Lofts Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 i would recomend virgin no download limit but its wheather its available in your area
Guest strapper Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 sky tv is a rip off..always making excuses and not passing good deals onto the customer. i will never let sky have control of my phone/pc ..they have you by the ball s then.
Guest bakes Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 had so much problems with sky told them to go stick it now im on virgin media same amount of channles better broadband not capped like sky i would recommend virgin media to anyone havent had a problem since ive been with them all the best bakes.
Guest scoobybob Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I started with Blueyonder which is Virgin now. Slow downloads at busy times so changed to BT. 8mb line with BT but only got 1.3mb. Everytime I complained my speed went to 5mb but after a day or two went back to 1.3mb. I looked at SKY but would have had the same speed as BT so went with o2. Seems o2 is about the quickest broadband about for the price. As I have an o2 phone I get o2 even cheaper, think its about £9 a month but I'm still on my 3 months free at the moment. Oh and I have speeds of 10-11 mb

greenlands Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 Sorry Mike,thought i'd put it on.Lindsay http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/
holmsidelofts Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Must be where you live, i get 9meg download speeds from sky, never had an issue with my broadband, would never go with Aol or bt again after multiple connection issues, And the fact i get everything for free as i work for sky im not moaning. Granted virgin medias broadband base is probably better than sky at the moment but sky again were voted as the best broadband provider in which magazine this year again. and they are by far the best provider of digital tv anywhere in the uk. they are also a massively thriving company even when the economic climate is the way it is thats says a huge amount about what sky does and the services it provides.

just ask me Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Sorry Mike,thought i'd put it on.Lindsay http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/ what does this show what would be a good speed on this check
greenlands Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hi just ask me, your download speed is governed by the package that you are receiving from your provider, at the moment I am on 8Mg,Sky are going to upgrade it to 10Mg in the near future.BUT it is again governed by how far you are from the telephone exchange and the condition of your connection.In my case I am about 3 mile from the exchange and only get Max 1.1Mg.This will or might vary depending on the amount of users/time of day.There are several speed checkers on Google ,the one I've put the link to is the one I use.Your provider should also have a checker on their site. Hope that's been of some help. Lindsay.
