I very kind forum member had previosuly got my WRT610N router to work on OpenWrt firmware but it proved to be just too buggy in the end so I had to revert back to the older Sagemcom unit.
I also noticed last night that web pages seemed slow to load (unusual) so I did a sweep of the area and found that Sky are now providing BB to most of my neighbours and we were all on the same wireless channel (No1), set it channel 3 and it has improved now thankfully, but fingers crossed the SR101 will improve things further. |
I'd seen that signing up for the phone line rental online would have given half-price for
12 months (offer for existing customers still with BT for line rental), but that for the Sky Fibre it was only new customers who got no installation fee + half-price for 3 months.
So I phoned up and asked "are there any deals you can give me?"
Only 6 months half-price for the line rental, instead of 12, but being given the same deal as a new customer for the Sky Fibre gave a greater total saving than doing the phone line sign-up online.
As for the SR101 "Sky Hub"... I thought that that was supposed to be free for all Sky Fibre customers, new and old?
