Sky's interactive is currently far better than Ntl's. I'll agree on that. As for the actual EPG I personally prefer the Ntl one over sky seeing as it gives you a lot more information about programs etc and you can check through the programs without losing the current channel.

I've used the Ntl guide on a variety of boxes and there are varying speeds. On the Samsung boxes it flies faster than 99% of the Sky boxes. On most bog standard sky boxes I've used the difference between Ntl and Sky full guide hasn't been that noticable. Sky boxes were a bit faster but not hugely so.
