Sky Broadband Vs Orange Broadband..

Hi,

I'm currently paying £30/month with madasafish for their max broadband service.

I've got sky tv at home and signed upto an 18 month orange mobile phone contract last month, so basically I can get my net through either of these much cheaper.

Sky broadband for £10/month gives me unlimited usage and upto 16mb connection.

Orange gives me for £5/month gives the same with 8mb connection.


On the basis of price, orange wins. I think both give a free a wireless router

However, on the basis of:

1) Service / Reliability
2) Router Quality

Which would you suggest? I seem to hear a lot of negative stuff about Orange.. so am leaning towards sky initially.

    Go with sky.

    Orange has fair usage policies where as sky does not on that package.

    I would advise you didn't go with Orange!

    I have been with Orange since they were Freeserve and Wanadoo and have to say that since Orange have taken over my BroadBand has never been broken so much as it is....at least twice a month I have to call them. Their service department leaves far too much to be desired too. The staff are rude and only read from a rehearsed script so you will not get any sense from them!

    I am about to change over to SKY as I can get enough usage to suit me for £5 a month instead of the £27.99 I currently pay Orange! I just hope SKY live up to what they have told me!
