Sky Broadband,no wonder it's free..

Am I the only person that doesn't have any issues with Sky? My broadband was set up within a week of setting up my account and I'm getting anywhere between 22-25 Mbps, have done since joining.

Never had any issues with it and the usage gets battered in this house..no problem with customer service, bills, speed..nothing at all cant fault it.

Firstly Craig, according to you my posts are utter wank...

Does that Make you a wanker for reading them? ...


Secondly Barry Chuckle... A man called Akex who took the name of a fictional children's TV character as his Handle attempts to slag a fellow poster for reading Comic books,that which contain stories based on fictional characters...


Wow, I actually must apologise to you Alex, yesterday I referred to you as going full retard and being the type of person that Down syndrome folk would make fun of..
If I knew you actually suffered a mental disability Alex I would've never mocked you.. Please accept my apology ..

Less of the down syndrome remarks arsehole.

Used to have loads of devices connected to it at different times through the day like 2 laptops, ps3, numerous phones/tablets so could always have a couple on at any one time and never seems to slow down.

not having a go at you personally, but why do people say this?

you wouldnt say people are cancer or is aids.


Seems to be the common thing for DS and im not sure why.

It's not something you have, it's something you are.
You have aids,you have cancer..they're a disease that you can contract.

Don't call me an arsehole for being offended by your comment. I found it offensive. Instead of just seeing your comment offended someone and saying sorry you have a go back.
Can see why others freely abuse you on here now.
Your comment, in my opinion, was offensive to people with Down syndrome.

ShinobiPony

Shinobipony.... Is not a documented fictional character that I am aware of?
It was a nickname that is meaningful to myself and one I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Even more so considering you think Barry Chuckle is a real person.. Bless

Seeing as you ignored my question last time, where have I mocked you for reading comic books here?! you seem to be very defensive about your comic book fetish.

fact is, I haven't mocked you at all for this thread, it's just another one of your totally unrelated, boring topics. You jumped in & got it wrong, looked silly & then started to lose respect by throwing abuse about Down's syndrome around.

Why don't you grow the f**k up?!

You claim to be offended,then quite frankly that's your problem pal.
I haven't mocked any Down syndrome person.
I have mocked only Barry Chuckle.

"Your comment, in my opinion,was offensive to people with Down syndrome. "

That's an offensive comment,to someone who is Down syndrome.
If someone is born a dwarf/midget, he is a dwarf/midget,he doesn't have it.

You posted on the poster not the topic.
Your comment on Bus passengers/comic book blah blah was meant as a mock was it not?

You tell me to grow up, yet you childishly follow my posts and sprout the same shit?

Practice what you preach ...

So let me get this right it's offensive to say "someone with Down syndrome"
But it is not offensive for you to say what you did and what you meant by it.

Stop digging and just admit you dropped a boobie.

You'd better link me to a website on how to talk about people who have down syndrome too then, to pass on toy family members who unfortunately lost a child with Down syndrome, as they speak the same as me.

Listen Fella... You don't know someone with Down Syndrome.
You know someone who is Down syndrome.

I know that because I have a family member also who is Down syndrome.

Now stop getting your knickers in a twist.

Down syndrome (DS) or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.[1] It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability.[2] The average IQ of a young adult who is Down syndrome is 50, equivalent to the mental age of an 8 or 9 year old child, but this varies widely.[3]

Taken from Internet..


So i stand by my comment, I haven't mocked anyone other than Barry.

Listen Fella... You don't know someone with Down Syndrome.
You know someone who is Down syndrome.

I know that because I have a family member also who is Down syndrome.

Now stop getting your knickers in a twist.

You ought to watch the way you talk about them then, using the term to take the piss out of a poster on here by suggesting they are in some way worse than a person with it is actually being offensive to anyone with it.
A family member died, I'll get in as much of a twist as I want punch bag.

Don't get your point.. People die in all walks of life pal... Sorry for your loss ..

But what's that got to do with me?

Email I have sent them..

I have been using ITunes vouchers given to me as a gift to download items for my iphone.
Naturally I assumed Wifi would be the best and fastest source for my download.
Yet my broadband provided by yourselves, downloads at 146.7 kbs,whilst my 3G mobile network downloads at 807.4 kbs.

What would've taken me around 28 minutes on your supply,only took 6 minutes on my mobile network.

I have ran a test a various different times of the day, but they all come back similar..

Sky BB results as posted..

Ping 105ms 4.08 mbs Dwnld 50 mbs upload

Mobile network results as posted.
Ping 35ms 9.10 mbs Dwnld 52mbs upload.

All in all it doesn't make good reading for you or your product.
And I shall be assessing all available optional alternatives to Poor Sky Broadband.

Judging by the recent advertising campaign with MrBeckham,it's no wonder your giving it away.

I await their reply..

Just swapped from Sky Broadband to BT Infinity 2 superfast stuff and believe me there is no comparison. Always thought Sky Broadband was reliable and well worth the cost but I got fed up with speeds slowing down when the grandkids arrived with thier laptops, smart phones and tablets in hand, thanks to BT Infinity 2 they can switch the lot on and it makes no difference, or at least non that I can see.

When I tested SKY Broadband it was between 3.8mbs to 7.10 mbs the first test on Infinity 2 was 69mbs fantastic stuff. The cost is high compared to SKY £26 per month but you do get free BT Sports and if you transfer to BT TV, as I have also, I have arranged to have the main channels I watch on sky, plus SKY Sports 1&2 and it is only £3 a month more than I was paying SKY.

That is nothing for the difference BT Infinity 2 superfast unlimited stuff. Go get my man you will be amazed.

I left SKY because of their awful broadband speeds in the area. I complained and even had a home visit where the lad told me it was because I was too far away from the exchange.
When I rang to cancel, the bloke on the phone asked why I was leaving, so I told him.....and said I that Virgin could get close to 40 meg, He told me that a) no way were SKY providing only 2 meg and that Virgin were lying.
Been with Virgin since with no problems. By the way, Virgin were lying.....I'm getting 50 meg!!!
SKY broadband is shite. Problem is, their TV is better.

I'm with sky, supposed to get 17 mb/s just run a test and result was 22.73

can honestly say i've never had bad customer service either.

I probably sold you that haha

As said above lads it's all down to the distance from the telephone exchange if your not on fibre optic broadband,this is why infinity or virgin has such superior bb,the infinity option 2 can get you upto 80meg again depends on how far you are from the exchange,if your close to the exchange you could get gd speeds with any provider it's when your not close to a exchange you really need fibre optic.
And by the way you can call three months before the end of your 18 months contract and recontract with option 2 infinity for 22.65 at the min,so really the 18month contract is only a 15 month contract and then you get a new 12 month deal at a cheaper price,and yes I work in bt retention team
