Hi. Am thinking of swopping from BT broadband to Sky on the Max package for £10 month and unlimited downloads. Anyone already with them? Would you recommend them or have you had lots of problems? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've switched from BT to Sky on the Mid package. Have had no problems except that this laptop keeps dropping the connection - but the connection is fine because the other laptop doesn't lose it IYKWIM. I think the wireless adaptor on this one is a bit iffy.

Yep, no problems here either except this wireless adapter (Belkin USB2) drops out regularly. Comparing it with an Intel adapter it would appear that the Belkin adapter is at fault rather than the Sky provided router (serves me right for buying cheap rubbish... ...and I really should know better!).

I hammer the connection downloading 2Gb+ iso images from various Linux distros and it's not given up and died to date (except with the previously mentioned Belkin rubbish...).. ...and to be honest at the price it's a complete steal...
