Re: [LUG] BT broadband

 

With this in mind is anyone on sky broadband ?
I've just gone back to them for my TV service after the removal certain sky
channels malarky and am having an engineer round next Monday to asses my
line from the pole to my house to decide if I can get a line re-installed or
not after a hatchet job by the previous occupants.
If everything ok ntl/telewest/blueyonder/virgin/whatever they want to call
themselves next month will lose my custom for telphone & broadband as well
as sky are offering a wireless modem & broadband service with a 40 gig limit
and the nice lady at BT reckons I can get up to 5.4 meg download.
I'm on 4 meg at the moment.
Does their modem work well with linux. Is their service up to scratch ?

BT Broadband is capped quite low.  From their packages it looks as 
though only the £26.99 pcm (normal price) package is the only one unlimited.

Others are £17.99 - 5Gb, £22.99 8Gb pcm.

This may affect choice if bandwidth is an issue for you.

Kind regards,

Julian
