kevhamster's Review for Sky Broadband

Title: Fantastic value for money
I moved to O2 from Titan-ADSL purely as a financial decision - my Xbox Live use was putting me over my usage allowance and it got expensive!

I've been with O2 for a few months now and have found the service to be excellent.

Speeds have mostly been excellent, around the 7Mbps down and 1Mbps, with a fast ping speed, except on a couple of occasions when technical issues have caused a severe downgrade in service. I can only remember this happening 3 times so far, however.

I'm paying only £7.50 per month (as I'm an O2 mobile customer), for a fast service that does genuinely appear to be unlimited. I do a lot of online gaming, and watch a lot of video online and I've never had as much as a warning under the advertised fair use policy.

And contrary to some other experiences shared by some of the more recent reviews, I've had no issues with online gaming at all.

The techincal support is nowhere near the level of Titan (who to be fair are exceptional) but far better than AOL or Toucan ever managed. And for £7.50 per month, I'm not complaining at all.

Highly recommended.
