I was thinking of changing to Sky also, did you have to pay installation / router costs? last time I called them it was too exp.

Download speed 1896 kbps
Upload speed 208 kbps

Virgin media, south belfast

But it's variable and sometimes it goes much slower

It's not all about the speed though, how much can you actually download in a month without getting foul of their terms and conditions?

I usually use about 300GB traffic a month.

Got a great deal from a guy calling at my door...
HD box - £49
4 tv packs
Installation - Free
Broadband Base - Free
Sky Talk Freetime - Free
Sky Talk Line Rental - Free (usually £10)

Total - Set-up cost £49... Monthly cost - £29.25

This is saving me almost £10 from what i was paying for Orange broadband & Talk Talk phone alone so even if i have to upgrade to broadband with a higher cap then i'm still quids in & getting Sky + HD...... :j
