I haven't had any problems with them and have been with them for 3 years

rip off.

i was with them for one year and whilst the service is good paying £25pm for broadband is just wrong.

now with Sky's 16meg for £10 a month is what i call a bargain and fast as fook

As Magic said, it's a rip-off.

You can get the same service with other providers for a lot less. BT are bascially charging £10 a month for your flashy 'hub phone'.

Mixed responses then....

Ideally want wireless, so is it worth me going with someone else perhaps and just buying a wireless router?

sky give you a free wireless router worth £50 but you have to buy a wireless network card apparently. these are cheap as chips i've been told.

only downside is you have to be a sky subscriber to receive the broadband

And you need an active BT line? So when I move into my new house I have to speak to BT and be with them with for a year.... :?

you need a bt line for your phone anyway which is what i've got.

the broadband is not ran through the sky box but through my bt line.

But can't you get a sky tv, talk and broadband package?

There's a dish there already

our bt home hub resets itself about 3 times a day so you lose your connection for  a minute each time, other than that its been great and the speed tests show they really are 8mb.
