Sky broadband and TV

Poppy9

Looked on the Sky site and it appears I can get their basic TV package with free broadband for £15 per month.

Currently I pay AOL £9.99 per month for my broadband and have a freeview box.

Are there many more decent channels on Sky basic package (2 mixes is the deal)? Do you get much down time? My freeview box freezes on 1 or 2 channels periodically, especially in warm weather.

Is the broadband any good?

Have you checked to see if Sky actually have their equipment in your exchange? see here.

If your Freeview freezes, you do not have a strong enough signal.

Sky broadband should be good enough for a Pot Noodle miner.
