Can I reconfigure a Sky Broadband Router for use with another ISP?

I've recently left Sky Broadband after numerous problems, and signed up with a new ISP. The only wireless router I have is the Sky branded Netgear one provided by Sky.

I can't seem to get my new ISP to run through this....I presume this is because Sky have put settings in it to block any other ISP's going through it.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can reconfigure the router so I can use it with my new provider?

Any help appreciated so I can save myself the £60 for a new router

Cheers

    It will need the firmware flashing with the standard Netgear (non Sky) firmware. see Skyuser for more details.
