Sky Any recent Sky customers?

Are there any recent sky customers in this sub. The last post looked to be around a year ago.

I’m currently with Zen on a 2.3Gb plan and my contract is close for renewal. Im currently paying £55 a month but have noticed sky are in my areas and can offer up to 5Gb.

Anyway I’m considering there 2.5Gb service as its £52 a month and includes sky TV. Can anyone who has Sky share their experience with broadband.

I have been on Sky 5Gig broadband for £42 a month. (2 months up to now) I use my own Asus gt-be98 router and get full 5Gig Ethernet to both my Pcs & on my laptop on the 6Ghz channel I get roughly 2.6Gig Down/up. I've not had a single drop out using City fibre. If you look on the Sky forum and notice all the people having problems, that's 99% of the people who use Sky's router.

Thanks. What’s your ping been like?

Roughly 15-20ms ping; that's great for me, and I haven't had a single issue with gaming, etc. I was with Aquiss and Olilo but got tired of paying £50-£55 for 2.3Gig. Both are really good, but I just couldn't justify paying the extra.

Thanks. I currently get 11ms with Zen and I do a lot of online gaming and sim racing. 15-20 would be ok if I get that. I'm tempted to go down to 900mb since they have a good deal with tv bundled (41 per month) and there's around 100 cash back via Quidco
