I'm currently on the phone to Sky Broadband, been on for 35 minutes so far in a queue (I've now hung up), not sure if this is some kind of stitch up, but never had this long wait with ntl. I'm calling 0207 032 6352 to avoid costs, could this be the reason why i'm waiting so long?

Anyway, i'm highly thinking of switching all my services to Sky.

I pay for BT Option 1, ntl 10Mbps. I want to get Digital TV but pay as little as possible for a decent service.

So, i've ben on Sky's site, they offer 16Mbps Broadband, 6 mixes & Unlimited calls, i'll copy and paste from their site:

Up to 128 digital channels
More than 200 free-to-air channels
Free daytime and evening and weekend and international calls
No contract
Up to 16Mb download speed
Unlimited monthly usage allowance
All this is Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£47 per month, is this a good deal and i HAVE included the price of line rental in the price i stated.

Please only fair judging, i don't want to be dissapointed in their broadband.

Also, what would really help me is, if i do get this 16Mbps broadband, what speeds would i get. it says:

You are approximately 780 metres from the exchange (straight line distance).

I also use P2P software such as Morpheus & torrents using private trackers, do they in anyway limit or block my usage of these services, if so, how and what times if they do?

Thanks a lot of any info, and sorry its so much! I just dont want to be bind into a 12 month contract and not be able to switch back to my good ol m8 ntl!
