    Sky Fibre Optic

    Yes you can keep your existing number, as I did. Just inform Sky you would like this and they will arrange it for you. I was quoted much lower than the 75mb im getting now, so, i think you should get very close to 40mb with a qutoe like 34mb. Hope that helps.

    Sky Fibre Optic

    similiar situation with me. i was quoted 66mbs down, but no upload quote. Ive been on it for 11 days now, and its settled down nicely at 75/16.5, with a ping time of 5ms. Point is, BT Openreach seem to be quite cautious with their estimates.

    RESULT! well hopefully, just got a ring from the BT engineer, he's just sortin out the connection from CAB, and then he's coming to my premises. Looks like he doesnt know it's been cancelled, hence why I kept my mouth shut!:D I told him I'll put the kettle on for when he gets here...

    I don't believe this! BT Openreach just called to say they've cancelled y appointment for installation and that i should call Sky to re-arrange for another date.

    Sky Fibre Optic

    Well today's my installation date, I've got a morning slot so hopefully the engineer will be here soon. I've booked the day off work so he'd better turn up! I'm gonna nip out and buy some trunking i think because I really need to do something about these wires. I've got network cable...

    Sky Fibre Optic

    definately worth a try, worked for me. i was quite surprised at the lengths they went to, to keep my custom though. Ive been sent my router today too, in time for my installation this Monday, i cant believe how crappy it looks!! My fag packet has better build quality!

    i forgot to mention earlier, I had to pay an installation/activation fee of £50, which apparently you dont have to pay on 40/2.

    Just used the speed checker link on above link and it says i should get 64.6/20. Coming form 19/1.2, i think i could live with that.

    Sky Fibre Optic

    well the guy on the phone offered me it for £20 (same price as 40/10) + phone line, i'd be mad not too! I originally called them to cancel my Sky TV, and was gonna switch to VM, so to keep me with Sky, they mad me an offer i couldnt refuse. Its a 12 month offer, and after that, i'll have to...

    Sky Fibre Optic

    Hi everyone, i'm due my 80/20 Sky Unlimited Pro installation on 11th June, and I cant wait! Ive been quoted an estimated speed of 66mbps, so im quietly optimistic that I'll be getting around 70mbps if past estimates are anything to go by. The Sky chappie on the phone wasnt able to quote me an...

    Eid Mubarak

    Eid Mubarek everyone. This month has absolutely flown by! For some strange reason, the fasts were pretty easy too, after the first week or so. I think the fairly mild summer helped too. Anyway, congrats to all those involved and hope you have a super special Eid.

    Connecting PS3 to DVI??

    Im picking up a PS3 tomorrow morning and was hoping to connect it up to my DELL 2405 FPW via the DVI port. Ive seen a HDMI TO DVI cable, which looks like it will do the job. Could anyone confirm this will work for my setup, and will I get proper HD from my PS3 using one of these cables...
