Rob's Review for Sky

Title: Still looking good!
The router arrived a few days before the migration took place, so I was up and running with only about 15 minutes downtime. I had been a little worried that the migration to Sky might occur before the Sky router turned up as they don\'t supply login details you can use in your old router.

Speeds are fine, latency is a little high due to interleaving - ping time has increased from ~13ms with a fixed 1mbps AOL package to ~51ms with Sky. I\'d previously read that Sky won\'t disable interleave so perhaps not ideal for hardened gamers, but it now seems they will reduce interleave depth to 8 which should give acceptable pings

A bargain at ?10
