Hi all and thanks for all the warm welcomes

well its a sad sad day.........

It is my last day on SKY AKA the BORG I have been assimilated for some 12 months now and I am no longer able to determine what normal life is on broadband and I am scared but at the same time it can be no worse......

I take it you're on the awful Sky Connect?

Hi Sebby - yeh SKY connect I am on or was....My exchange is non LLU and looks like it will be that way till 2011 according to the exchange checker details.

Was with Eclipsce prior to them - I was ok then but they used to throttle me after 20GB and at the time their next package up was way to ££££ for what it was so moved my phone and broadband to SKY connect or as I call it SKY no CONNECT after 5

Sebby · Oct 12, 2009, 16:06:41

Sky shouldn't offer non-LLU, imho. It gives them a really bad name, when their LLU offering is actually brilliant for the money.

jr

Let us know asap how things are. We are all on tenderhooks waiting for your result

Absolutely right! Connect is dire after 5pm and should be banned

The SKY BORG escape......

Returned from work yesterday expecting the household to be OFFLINE and the kids screaming we have no internet

.........

But no.... they were all still connected, checked my mails and IDNET had said change over complete I just needed to change over my ID and password to theirs

Last time I changed over I was offline for days...

Anyway had to rip out SKY router as their flash version takes out ID and password so you can't change it, will get round to re-flashing it but already had another router, changed my ID and was on as quick as a flash

I could not get on to a speed test quick enough

Well from the first test I was getting over 3.5 and this was at 18:00 so already the ALIENS had smashed the BORG's drip fed connection.

I did a few tests and was getting different results but all above 3.0 so I guess it will take a bit of time for the line to sync to speed again - so hopefully will level out to 5.ish - will try a day time test later when I get back home.

Well what can I say......This was the most easiest change over I have ever done.

IDNET

Thank you for saving me from the SKYBORG I have broadband after 5pm

Oh one more thing a message to SKYBORG

Cheers all

Jon

Glenn · Oct 13, 2009, 09:13:38

Jon, I'm sure there is room for a few more smilies in that post

Glad that you have got the result that you wanted.

Lance · Oct 13, 2009, 09:13:51

Great to hear it Jon!

Let us know how it goes!

David · Oct 13, 2009, 09:24:18

There you go Jon welcome to a real isp

I think you are pleased

Simon · Oct 13, 2009, 10:50:27

Glad to hear it all went smoothly, Jon!

Ray · Oct 13, 2009, 10:52:24

Good to hear, Jon.

jrboden · Oct 13, 2009, 12:23:51

well just done my day time test and looking good getting 4.5 was getting 5.5 on SKYBORG but will let it sync a bit over next day or two but even at that day time stat I am well happy my main

was the 5pm throttle on SKYBORG and already yesterday I was over 3.5 as unlike 0.5

So if it carrys on like this I am over the moon

So starting to feel that I am getting my moneys worth and all I can from my barn yard exchange......

Problem now is what am I going to get

and

at now

Sebby · Oct 14, 2009, 11:16:52

That throughput is not too bad. You'll have a profile of 5500k and your throughput is around 82% of the profile.
