Well what can I say, the speed is good up until 4PM where it just goes to rock bottom. I mean I have had faster speeds from my AOL Dial up connection than Sky during these times.
On average this happens at 4PM which apparantly is their 'peak time' and ends at around 1AM. During this time the broadband speed plumits to around 0.1 which is just ridiculous.
I phoned them up asking why this was, they said because I am an 'off net' customer the slow speed is because I am getting my connection from BT. And that only 'on net' sky users will get the fast Sky broadband.
Well I then thought what the hell am I paying for then? Why did they not tell me this when I signed the contract with them? They mentioned nothing about this.
I am so outraged at their disgusting internet speed.
My advise to you all brothers is STAY THE **** AWAY FROM SKY BROADBAND.
