I had Sky BB when I lived in Manchester last year, but they don't cover my area where I live now. I had the unlimited package, and they didn't care how much I nailed it (unlike other 'Unlimited' packages). You wouldn't really need to change the router- the Netgear unit is brilliant. I reflashed the Sky router with the Netgear firmware and am now using it instead of our BT Home Hub, so if you want to unlock the router then it's easy enough. | |

MAC address is th physical adress of the unit, doubt u can change that, although u might be able to mask it somehow? | |

The password can somehow be extracted apparently, no idea if you can change the MAC address on a router though. | |

I've had sky broadband for about a month so far and its been faultless with no downtime. Its running about 12mbps at the minute, but that might be helped because we're resonably close to the exchange. | |

Your username is the routers MAC address and the password is hidden in the firmware somewhere in hex just to make it even harder to use your own stuff. But it's a nice router so why bother using anything else? | |

the hardware provided Will is a Netgear router thats all pre-configured i belive, not sure if you have access to the interanl setup, maybe just the wireless options and encryption, thats about it. | |

I use Sky, it's good, it's only an extra £5 for unlimited so you may aswell get that if you're worried about the bandwidth limit. | |
