So, I use Sky Broadband at home and it’s always been truly excellent. Great speeds, stable connection, everything you could want from an ISP. Until today, that is, when my Sky provided router died due to ‘a failed firmware upgrade’. Now, I work from home and Sky have remotely bricked my router. Nice of them. Even better, calling them up, it’s against their Terms of Service to use a third party router on their network. The icing on the cake? It’ll take 7-10 days for my replacement to turn up. So, frankly, I said ‘nuts to that’ and managed to find this wonderful site. Now I’m using my own router – with 802.11n networking to boot – rather than Sky’s.
