We are finding orange very slow, and on an evening it keeps cutting us off in the n=middle of a posting. Since the wireless router stopped, we're using the fastest PC as an Internet Gateway and the broadband router gets cut off by Orange, then can't connect again.
It reminds me of just before Freeserve got taken over. They had got too many customers for their servers to handle all at once.

The Sky package sounds good - essentially less than we are paying, it gives high spec broadband plus free evening and weekend phone calls and a standard Sky Telly package thrown in for nothing.
We are just wondering if there is a catch - how reliable is the broadband? We have no interest in paying for telly extras such as the sports of films. Don't have time to watch the stuff on standard free digibox. What we don't want to do is change suppliers and then find the new one is out of its depth.

We would also be interested to find out which alternative providers to avoid. How good or bad are BT, Tiscali etc.?

Quack!
Geoff.
