Hi Husna
Steve Dryden has responded pretty comprehensively already, but I would add a
couple of things to help you.
I went to Sky Broadband because we were already Sky TV customers with the
sports package. We went for the £5 a month broadband offer because it saved
us £13 a month with our previous ISP, Wanadoo. This gives us a 40GB
download cap at a speed, they reckon, of up to 8MB. I think our exchange
offers 6MB at the moment.
I've found Sky's technical support ok thus far, more approachable and
locally based. I'm not entirely convinced they know what they are doing,
but I can't fault their manners and willingness to help. And I think their
attitude to disability is better than others.
I haven't got the added Sky phone package though. There isn't a specific
reason for not doing so, other than the fact I've got to have a BT landline
to get ADSL broadband in any case, so use BT's Options 3 package. It may
work out better to go with Sky, but frankly I can't be bothered to change
when it works at the moment.
As Steve rightly says, there are some things you need to do to receive your
Emails in Outlook Express, if that's the client you work with. I can send
you the instructions file I was given to do this if it helps you.
Other than that Husna, shop around. If you go for most of them, you are
committed to a 12-month contract.
Good luck.
Jackie

Hi,
has any one used the internet, phone and sky package from sky? i think
it's called talk talk. is it accessible and easy to use? also how have you
found the connection as i have found i frequently lose connection with
plus net. apparently for less than £30 i can get a download speed of 8 gb
with a limit of 40 gb a month and also talk on the phone any time for
free. is this a too good offer or is there a catch? does the free any time
phone element include any land line or is it to just sky phones?
thanks, Husna
