I can honestly say that the move to Xilo has allowed the internet on an old non-LLU exchange to become usable again :-)

After being on Orange on their "Unlimited" service for 2+ years (yep, the "free laptop" one), their "fair usage policy" which involved capping the line at 500k and not telling me, I mistakingly signed up to Sky connect..... Fortunatley I realised within the 8 day cancellation period that the 500k Orange cap was better than the Sky connect line after 4pm....

The move from Sky was very quick (thankfully) and all went to plan, almost immediatley from rebooting the router, my line speed increased significantly.

After being with them for a couple of weeks, my line speed has been consistently 6mb+, very stable connection and very quick ping speeds for VOIP and gaming. After one short-term wobble with line speeds, the support team regardless of what time you email them (even at 2am), you get a reply from them very quickly and they are always helpful.

If you're looking for a Broadband provider, after being with Sky, Orange, Zen, Pipex, Freedom2Surf and now Xilo, I can recommend Xilo as a quick and very friendly and efficient ISP.

Long may it continue :-)

Thank you.

After being with Xilo on ADSL Max for almost 2 years (moved from Sky Connect within the 14 day period), moved back to Sky after they updated our exchange to LLU. What a difference to the Connect service :-)

Since moving to Sky LLU, after the first 3 days of DLM at 4Mb, the connection has been great. Just switched onto the Gamer Profile to reduce the latency. Currently running at 18Mb and the ping speed is only slightly slower than with Xilo.

The increase in speed, saving money each month and truly unlimited service, no traffic management, no limits. I'm very happy and can recommend it if you're on a LLU connection.
