This is a continuation of threads for those of us who are leaving Sky, our experience, thoughts on other services to replace some of the features, and generally for us to all pat ourselves on the back for finally seeing the light and leaving sky and its expensive services
So, my update is that my broadband is so much faster! when on Sky, they base your speed on the hardback speed from the network, so if their line test says you can do about 38mb, they will lock you into an Openreach 40/10 speed profile. Mine used to be above this, but they still locked me at 40/10.
Now I have moved to Now Broadband, I get the full line speed, and im at 52mb now on the same line as there is no profile attached! (52 is most he line will do for distance to the cab etc)
Had to send my modem back, good riddance to that rubbish - just waiting on the TV Contract to finish in 1 month, no one has tried to make contact, even though I put notice of cancellation in 2 weeks ago, so they aint that bothered yet.
Getting on OK with just having Prime/Netflix and using Freeview/Catchup TV, not missed anything we want to watch yet, just one gripe about ITV Hub catchup in SD only so looks rubbish on a big telly.
Also tried to haggle on the mobile renewal, and that was poor so will move that too I think!
