Re: Will Sky broadband be enough?

Completely free.

There's a package that Sky don't tend to publicise that much called 'Sky Essentials'. It has the ADSL BB, free landline and mobile calls and Sky+ for the free channels. It's £26 per month, guaranteed not to rise for 3 years, with an 18 month contract.

I think that's very reasonable indeed, however, from what I can gather it only has two tuners and a 500g hard drive.

I suppose I could source my own 1 or 2 TB box and have the card re-paired. How easy is it to replace the HDD with a bigger one and how much would a 2TB HDD cost?

I've been told that this minimum broadband can be slow at loading things and things like the iPlayer can buffer. Does anyone know if I can try out Sky Essentials & upgrade to Sky Q if it doesn't meet my needs whilst still in the minimum 18 month contract?
