I called them in Dec to see when mine would be avail - they said at least 12m. I then renewed with AOL for 12months at -£8pm. Jan I get a letter from Sky 'ITS HEEEEERE'

Think AOL is being sold to Charles Kennedy or Carphone Warehouse in Feb so may be able to cancel then...???

Arghhhhhhh!!!!

What downtime did you experience guys - switching from one Broadband provide to another. I suffered a month with no internet access last time which was very frustrating.

Will I have a mare setting up my Netgear modem router with it do you reckon? I always get there but dont have days to spend on getting the right data, addresses and passwords from SKY customer support [on an 0870 number no doubt!]

Cheers

Zero downtime... seemless unless I missed the gap

The router is pre-set up, basically plug in and off you go.
