Hi Mary,
I assume rightly or wrongly your current method of connecting to the net
through virgin media is via cable? if so depending on what speed you have
then moving to a ADSL connection through Sky may not be so good.
therefore switching ISP might not be that beneficial in terms of
reliability and speed. I currently have a ADSL connection via BT and at
times it is truly appalling!there are so many differing issues to take
account of such as how far your Bt line is from the exchange? does it even
support broad band? I considered moving to Sky for telephone, TV and
internet but as it just uses the same Bt line then there might not be much
benefit. Having had a quick look at the Sky offer for all 3 services it
looks like you also have to pay BT line rental on top of the sky services
package. As a Sky TV customer you could always phone the disability help
line on:
08705 663333
and ask them for some details.

Subject: [access-uk] Sky Broadband
Hi,
At the moment we use Virgin Media for our phone calls and broadband and
Sky for our satelite viewing. We have been having quite a few provlems
especially during the slot between nine and twelve A.M. Very often I am
unable to get Internet Explorer connections and then suddenly once the
busy period is over, fine. I have noticed this more since Virgin Media
took over NTL. We have just phoned Sky to find out about their broadband
pricess but were told by Sky that we had to have a BT connection before
they could tell us whether we would be able to receive Sky broadband in
our area. This seems quite stupid to me. We could ditch Virgin Media
phone and broadband and then be told Sky broadband is not availlable in
our area. Is there a post code check we can do for Sky broadband before
we decide to switch?
Regards
Mary
