I am contemplating going for Sky BB.

I'm guessing Sky are badging an OEM router from someone. Does anyone know which router they are supplying/using ?

TIA

I was told it's a netgear router but that's all the guy knew.

Its a rebadged Netgear (834dg I think). Very good range and no problems so far.

That`s the one, but it`s got customised firmware. There are threads on _www.skyuser.co.uk about how to get the proper netgear firmware onto it (which enables more of the options in the router menus). Having said that it`s pretty much plug and play as it arrives, with your WPA code and everything already set up- I was pretty impressed to be honest.
