Sky Broadband

[Bald Eagle]

Hi all,

It's that time of year again where I switch broadband providers, at the moment Sky have the best offer by far for me but I was wondering how they are for running Kodi on? Does anyone have any issues with them in this regard?

Been good for me, I get about 13GB (download speed) and runs well.

I'm not on Sky fibre just standard.

That's good enough for me David! Did you have to deactivate anything?

Sky are OK.just make sure u have sky shield turned off...I changed the crap router u get with sky yesterday.they are the only broadband company that don't give out your password details when u want to use your own router.apart from that u should get decent speeds.

Yes the security and if I remember parental controls...but it was a long time ago.

What's wrong with the router? I've found that the BT Hub 4 router had a load of black spots in our home and the old NetGear one I had with AOL had a much better range.

What router would you recommend? Do you have to notify them if you use your own? Sorry, I'm a bit green when it comes to this side of things!

Had an old netgear one.with 3 t8 ,computers,tablets and ps4s it was a bit of a mare.got a tp-link router9980,has dual band 2.4ghz. And 5ghz...no u don't tell them(they wouldn't tell u ur details anyway as they want u using their crap gear)u have to extract it yourself......I have my t8's on Ethernet or 5ghz...everything else on 2.4ghz....nothing conflicts with my viewing that way
