    Just got a letter from Sky about this.


    Monthly subscription £17
    Connection fee £40
    Free wireless router (worth over £50)
    Download speed up to 8MB
    Monthly usage cap 40Gb
    Home installation (optional) £50
    Free McAfee Security Centre for a year ( worth £49.99)

    All we ask is that you stay with Sky TV during your new 12 mth contract for Sky Broadband

    No other options available.

    Doesn't seem like a very good deal to me.
    I already have a wireless router
    8MB download speed ( if my line would let me)
    No limit on usage
    all for £14.99 per month with Tiscalli

    Maybe I am missing something?

    Q: I don;t have a phone line in the house, only a NTL Broadband (no other sucscriptions to NTL though) Is it possible to have SKYBROADBAND without having a telephone line and without any other subsciptions to SKY. I have a skybox but only with the freechannels (freesat)?

    No, to get any other type of broadband you need a BT line.
