Sky Broadband

Somebody is moving ou the country and gave us their Sky Box and somebody is comoing to fit the satellite on Wednesday next week.
It is a £35 package with THe variety and Sports Mix, all subscription paid for until January 2007.

My dilemma is that the sky broadband is looking very attractive, me being able to add up to 16mb connection for just £10 extra onto sky a month.

My question is, am I able to sign up to this even through the person has paid for the sky subscription all up front.
Additionally, in January, can we downgrade our Sky package to a £15 with the £10 additional broadband, so in total we only pay £15 a month?

I ask because my contract with UKonline a Easynet company, is nearly up, and I will need to switch soon.
HOWEVER, sky broadband is also an easynet company, so can I move between ukonline and sky broadband whenever I want? Since all profits will be going to the easynet/sky broadband group. If, so I would rather wait till January when we downgrade out sky tv package, since sky broadband is probably in high demand right now, and there are probably various issues to be sorted out initially.

Is anyone on Sky broadband at the moment, and can comment on their service? Free 2mb service, or their 8mb/16mb packages?
THanks.
 
If I were you I'd wait for a few months. Let Sky officially launch the product and start signing people up and see how Easynet cope with the demand. No-one is on Sky Broadband yet, so far Sky are only allowing people to register an interest.

Sky BB is very poor. It is impossible to get a connection at peak times and the service is very slow when connected. We are supposed to get 8mbps but our old dial up service was quicker.
 
I've been on Sky Broadband for less than a week and everything has been fine so far.

What are your router stats?

Enter 192.168.0.1 into the address bar in your browser and username "admin" and password "sky" when prompted. On the bottom of the router login page click on the statistics button and post the output here.

By the sounds of it there might be a problem with your line if you're struggling to get a connection.

Which package did you sign up with? (connect/base/mid/max).

As far as i know you are entitled to have Sky Broadband as long as you are a sky customer, as you have a active sky subscription you are a sky customer so one would hope they would let you have it. Also as long as you are paying them something a month you should be entitled to the service.

If I recall correctly to qualify there's a requirement to be on a minimum of a £15 per month contract (presumably after the introductory discount)
