Switching from SKY to BT broadbrand?

Is this easy & how long will i be offline before it switches over.

Im ****** off with SKY internet, it is a joke, the wireless range sucks. Im on BT phone already, so will it be less than 5 days?

Did you ever try changing the wireless channel?
If you are on Connect the changeover should be instantaneous when it happens, if you are LLU it could take a few hours.
How long BT take to implement your order is another, indeterminate, matter.
BTW What makes you think BT's router is any better?

Wireless range has little to do with sky. It is more affected by what your property is built from and clashes with nearby wireless transmitters. If you are banking on the "better range" BT promote then your PC will need a wifi receiver that is capable of receiving 802.11n (also called "pre-n") signals otherwise you will see no or very little difference.

Possibly been sucked in by the TV adverts, that are to say the least, bordering on misleading.:rolleyes:

You maybe better off buying homeplug adapters.

Remember you need two adapters to make a network.
