    I have just got Sky HD installed into my flat, but have been waiting for almost 2 weeks for the bastards to come and install a phone line then broadband. And apparently they still have not allocated appointment to do so! Therefore it could be weeks before I get broadband in the house. Anyone know why this is taking so long?

    How much are Sky charging for brand new line installs these days?

    I do them for £69.99 plus £21.99 for Line Rental, 24mb ADSL2 broadband, 40gb downloads (or £24.99 for unlimited), free calls to landlines and ten other countries and a free Wifi router.

    I can't compete with free for 6 months though, if you qualify for that. Just be wary of contracts, as I don't put you in one at all and there's only a £10 admin charge if you cancel in the first year.

    I put this up last year and I was surprised when I got three customers, from Google(!) who'd searched everywhere else and chose that package I'd advertised.

    ADSL2 is a standard for delivering internet connectivity through telephone connections. It is designed to work approximately twice as quickly as ADSL. This means speed of up to 24Mb/s for downloads and 3.5Mb/s for uploads are theoretically possible.

    I get 16 Meg download out of my home connection and just under 2 meg upload. I'm nearly 1km from my BT Exchange.

    If you fancy a spot of DIY, try disconnecting the bell wire from either your master or extension socket.... you might just be surprised by the results.
