Default Sky Broadband Question

I need some advice please. A mate of mine is hoping to get broadband so he can take his 360 gaming online. As you probably know Sky do great broadband offers if you subscribe to their full package.

What I want to know is there any reason why Sky broadband wouldnt be suitable for online Xbox gaming? Does anyone use this ISP?

Any help would be great!

Cheers folks!!

*cough* with respect, that's rubbish. I had the same issues with the supplied router, so have used my own Linksys since day 6 or 7 .... you just won't get any help from sky ( quite correctly ) with configuring it etc.

you need to use a utility ( just a local web page ) to extract the sky username / password pair from the router.

pm me with an email address and I'll send it to you.
