    Welcome. You can fully remove the AOL bloatware using decrapifier here. Don't be worried about moving ISP as with modern routers supplied by the ISP's now, there is absolutely no need to load any ISP software on your machine. I have never loaded any ISP software. You will find a lot of info about Sky here.

    We have done exactly this last week.......had to get some info from AOL so i went on the online help they do and arranged for them to post it to me.....then rang sky with the required details and they sent me a wireless router out and activated my account a week later, aol automatically got cancelled when it changed....bingo i now have broadband for £5 cheaper a month, and i have arranged for sky to send me bills for my line as its cheaper than BT and have got half price sky for one year, so for broadband, telephone line, and sky tv for £34.....not bad kids are made up we have sky tv again.......
