What Broadband should I get?

[Macky]

Or wireless internet which from my experience with Th.ree mobile is utter shite.

That isn't broadband, midband at best

3mobile or any other mobile is not designed to meet the criteria that you set out in your original post. They are very good at doing what they are designed to do.

How long have you had Sky? They will charge you a hefty premium to install at a property without a landline.

Your Sky box(es) must be connected to a fixed telephone line for 12 months. Correct at 1st October 2009.

Since July, you just tell them you want a non phone line installation. They charged me £20 to install it.

But don't they bump up the cost of your monthly subscription as well if you don't have a phone line?

I'm not 100% and I haven't time to check, I just remember one of the lads giving out about how much extra he was being charged because he didn't have a landline.

Nope, they just nag you whenever you turn the box on and it isn't connected.

It depends what kind of signal area you're in, that's something you should check out before buying.

I regularly get 2Mb+ with mine, that's faster than a lot of people can get with their landline.

October is after July.

In any case it won't help Joe_ because you still need a landline for Sky broadband.

I wasn't talking about yours. Perhaps you'e expecting too much from it - mine does everything I would expect it to do.

Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious! My mate also had Sky installed at his flat last week with no phone line either.

I've had ity installed with no phoneline, didnt pay any extra either.

Joe- you want something that doesn't exist. Stick to the 3 dongle or dial-up.

I did - it said it was the best coverage in the country.

So why didn't you ask for your money back when it turned out not to be true?
