They phoned me a couple of weeks ago to tell me they were sending me some info by post :icon_roll

I told them I was only interested if they could give me a fixed IP address, I don't think the bloke I was speaking to had a clue what I was talking about.

2mb - free
8mb - £5
16mb - £10

But you have to subscribe to Sky Tv

They also have usage caps, the free version has a 2GB/month limit. That would be OK for just normal surfing, but not for someone who does a lot of downloading, or listens to a lot of internet radio etc.

Blimey,

That's worth looking at. I currently have the whole Sky+ package as well as multi room, so I can save a few bob here.

What do you mean?, the level of service etc?

Yeah level of service, over subscribed. Keep spending the £20 and receiving something worthwhile.

i have actually emailed them today saying im interested but its not available in my area yet, im going to get the £10 a month, because for some reason i dont trust broadband which is not unlimited. The free wireless router sounds good aswell, if any one has it or will get it please let me know what its like. I

It says the £10 a month one is unlimited, but it has a "fair usage policy", I don't trust ISPs that say unlimited when it's not really, I'd rather they make it clear how much you're allowed to use, without using vague language in the small print.
The ISP I use at the moment does have unlimited data transfer, but it's one of the more expensive ones.

Don't know what the Sky router is like, but I use a Linksys one and it's fine, get a decent signal thoughout my flat with a usb wireless network adaptor.
