I'm with Sky and its pretty good, if a little expensive. I get peace of mind though knowing there are never any problems with it. Broadband is just under 2mb which compared to most others on here is actually pretty good. If I ever have any questions with regard to customer services though, I have to call during weekdays and normal working hours. This is to speak to Scottish people, where its sometimes hard to understand them  :grin: but nowhere near as bad as if I phoned on an evening, or at weekends when its an Indian call centre.  :angry: Wouldnt recommend the phone line through them though, was with BT and thought I would bring my bills down even by a few quid by going with Sky. Rarely use the house phone but when I do, the bill suggests I've been calling Outer Mongolia during peak time all bloody day its that expensive. My dish is shielded from the wind and rain mostly, so never had a problem with reception here either. Alot of collegues have actually switched from virgin to Sky which I was surprised at, as a couple of years ago most were doing the opposite.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Anyway, it's great having 26mb DL speed but then what serves at that speed, nothing, More than 5-10 is still a waste TBH.
