Sky Max Queries

I'm thinking of moving from Bulldog to SkyMax.

I have a couple of queries I'd be grateful for some help with:

1. Has Sky Broadband's service improved since the shambolic levels of late 2006/early 2007?

2. I already have a router and wired network I'm really happy with. Can I keep using this or do I have to use Sky's router? (If so, is this wireless only?)

3. If I have to use the Sky router, is there anyway around it so I can still use my current one?

Thanks in advance for all the help.:)
 
Hi

I would go in on sky active and read their terms as you may find that you cannot use your router with sky:( As have been having problems with BT I too was thinking of going with sky as I read their terms I am not happy to go with them?:shrug:. But take a look for yourself friend as only you can make this judgement! good luck:)
 
1. Has Sky Broadband's service improved since the shambolic levels of late 2006/early 2007?
Not quite sure what you mean by "shambolic", maybe you're referring to CS? The service itself is excellent - better in fact than the entanet connection I had previously. :D

2. I already have a router and wired network I'm really happy with. Can I keep using this or do I have to use Sky's router? (If so, is this wireless only?)

There are ways of retrieving your username and password from the router, and yes you can use your own router. The Sky router is a Netgear DG834GT with skys own firmware loaded - however you can flash the router back to a standard DG834GT. ;) The router has a 4 port switch built in, so you don't have to use the wireless side of things.

3. If I have to use the Sky router, is there anyway around it so I can still use my current one?
See above. ;)
