Good, bad or indifferent?

At the end of contract with BT and havent had a problem in 2 years though i can get Sky Broadband free each month. Would be loathe to change it and it act the bollix.

It is good, havent had any problems yet at all.
Although, they said I could get it free as well, called up & the 'free' access didnt cover my area. Dont know if the 'free' area covers any of NI $:-\$

I spoke to one of those gangsters that man the Sky stalls in shopping centres, i can get the "free" access but it costs £70 to install as i only want Broadband. Would still be cheaper than the £12.99/mth im paying with BT, was checking online reviews and there are some horror stories. In fairness i have heard similar stories about BT and never had any bother.

I have Sky broadband and never had any trouble with it, although I dont use the 'puter a great deal. I was suppose to receive it free as well but have to pay £5 month. Not sure what it costs if you dont have the SKy tv package.

It says Armagh is covered from last Nov, but the b4stards charge me for it
Going to get it changed if they dont drop the cost (about £16 a month)

Well that sucks, I was considering getting this. Why isn't it free to all areas?

Further discrimination West of the Bann, we need Barry McElduff to sort Sky out!!

Tool bad Fintona. Was thinking of getting the Sky+ HD, Telephone and Broadband package.

I take it the fact that i live in Belfast will lessen any potential poor download speeds, breaks in service etc ?
