    Sky's piggyback onto BT's network. When BT's network has bandwidth/congestion - they are prioritised over Sky - and Sky customers suffer.

    Most I ever got with Sky was 3Mb down - with O2 and no difference to the phone line etc - I get over 10Mb.

    Enjoy your speed while you can, it won't last.

    Sky Connect broadband piggy backs on BT's network

    Sky have unbundled 98% of their broadband from BT's

    I only have 10GB allowance in 18 days I have used 13GB :thumbsup: but according to their website they don't care yet

    "You can keep up to date with your broadband usage below. Don’t worry, although we’re displaying your usage here, we will not currently upgrade you to a new package should you go over your usage allowance and you can carry on using your broadband as usual."

    As far as I can tell they've upped the allowance, it was going to be 4Gb which I was fuming about

    Their online checkometer says I would only get 5megs on my line but getting 9213 kbps, I'm paying for upto 10meg so they are grossly under selling themselves. I'm 1.3 miles from our exchange
