Sky Broadband - speed/connectivity

Just a quicky.

Having recently got SKY Broadband I am finding that connecting is a problem. Once connected it's fine. I am on the basic(free!) up to 2 mb package. Will upgrading my package to a higher speed improve my ability to connect ? I was with AOL and connection was never a problem.

Thanks,

Neill

    Why are you disconnecting? Leave the router connected 24/7.

    Possible issues with 'fair' usage though?

    Not sure what you mean by "possible issues with fair usage though" regarding leaving the router connected. To check your actual usage see this thread here.

    Routers are designed to be left on. I'd be looking into finding out why you're having problems connecting though.

    What do you mean by problems, exactly?
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it
