SKY Broadband Provider - Phone + TV + Broadband Bundles
About Sky Broadband
British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) launched Sky broadband in 2006 after its acquisition of the network provider Easynet in 2005. Currently, Sky broadband has more than 716,000 broadband customers and has coverage of 70 % of the households in the UK. Using the LLU network of Easynet, Sky offers ADSL and ADSL+2 based broadband services as a part of its broadband bundles which combine broadband, telephony and DTV channels.
Sky Broadband Packages
Sky broadband offers three different download speeds - 2Mb, 8Mb and 16Mb. You can also choose anyone of the monthly usage options depending upon your usage - 2GB or 40GB or unlimited download.
Presently, Sky offers three broadband packages for its TV customers who are connected by its network - Sky Base, Sky Mid and Sky Max. If you are one of the Sky TV customers connected by its network, you can get 2Mb Sky Base broadband free by just paying one off connection fee of £30. Likewise, Sky Mid and Sky Max will cost £5 and £10 per monthly respectively when you take it with its DTV service. Sky’s Connect service provides broadband service for those who are on BT line for an additional cost of £17 per month.
Sky also provides See Speak Surf broadband bundles which are excellent TV, Phone and Broadband combinations that meet your needs and budget.
*This is maximum speed. The actual speed depends on your line and the distance between the exchange and your premises.

I have been with Sky for a year and I have had nothing but bad service from them! Firstly I had to have 3 routers sent to me as everyone I received was broken. They said that I would get 8mg but I am not even getting 1mg. After a 50minute wait in a call queue (even after being told that the call would be answered in 15 mins) I had still not been put through to an adviser. In the end I went through to cancellations and I am now waiting for my MAC code. My advice to you all is to NOT go with Sky Broadband; they do not know what they are talking about!
The only decent thing about Sky is the price of the package; I yet to find another provider who offers this low value cost!

Sky broadband and TV packages are excellent money savers. Phone services are indeed poor. Over-all, they are reliable ISP.

My Sky Max offers not more than 8 Mbps but they advertise it is super-fast connection. When I contacted their customer support, I had to wait for a long time only to get answers that have not solved my problem so far. I would suggest not to go for these ultra-fast broadband services unless you get assured of the advertised speeds. It is sheer waste of money.
