My average pings at the moment, using FastPath, are 40ms. Not exactly great. Although I'm sure it will vary for others.

You attenuation is great, so based on that you should get the full 16Mbps...but your noise margin will affect it too.
Also depends on if your line quality causes Sky to put you on G.DMT/Interleave & cap your speed.

Yes, it is. Although I find the Sky portal & webmail to be utter crap, as do others from what I've read.
Just use Gmail or something...much better.

Yes, if your line is not too noisy & you manage to get through to Tier 3 support after first jumping through hoops with Tier 1 & 2.

Yes, but it isn't very good.

Dunno. I've only had it since the start of Feb. Been fine for me (bar noise problems I'd have had with any ADSL provider).

Mine was painless, however it was from a normal resold BTW provider to Sky's LLU.
You'd be moving from one LLU provider to another, so I don't know how painless that is...
