Xbox live & Sky broadband...any problems?

I'm currently with Bulldog Broadband & get a good 5-6meg speed over my wired network. However, I'm thinking of going over to Sky as, for an extra tenner a month I can get the same broadband speed and loads more TV channels. Considering my freeview reception is rank this seems a good deal.

So, I was just wondering if Sky broadband is okay with online gaming with the 360 over 'live'? I already have a good modem/router with all my settings as I want them so would be hopeful that I wont need to use the modem/router Sky provide. A neighbour of mine has just got Sky broadband and cant get into the router settings. It seems Sky pre-set these so that it's as difficult as possible to get into

I'd like to know about your experiences with Sky broadband & how well it works with the Xbox 'live'?

My sky works fine with live no problems at all (In fact my downloads are much quicker) and the router they sent I just took out of the box and it worked with all my consoles and computers straight off. I would say go for it
