Doubt i would have had to pay him anything if he'd gone up there and fallen. fuck all to do do with me if he'd decided to risk it. As i said before, i went up when he told me he cant. The point i'm making is sky installers are shit and you get what you pay for. Free installations are crap installations. I paid 60 quid for mine and it was spot on. They ran the cable correctly instead of slinging it over the roof and then through a hole in the wall. Would you be happy with a random looking wire coming into your house through a hole in a wall?? Maybe you would but i wouldnt. | |

I had an independant installer when i switched from normal sky digital to sky+ HD because the original sky guy was a prick. | |

go for the standard installation and if they get round and say its another 100 to fit, offer the fitter like 60 for his own pocket. | |

Spoke to a fella at Comet on Sunday and he said that standard installation is up to 1st floor. And I'm on the 2nd floor. So he said I'll have to ring Sky up and see how much it would cost for installation cos it wont be free. | |

I'm on the Sky Broadband Max package, the £10/month one. It's unlimited and upto 16meg, but we're so far from the exchange that we only get 8meg. Can't fault it. | |

Sky are really good at offering broadband but has anyone actually got it? I joined Sky in Sept cos I cancelled my previous broadband and thought I might as well pay a bit more and have sky tv and free broadband. | |

if its 3 stories up then it might not be a standard installation, you'll have to give them a bell. We got sky plus with multiroom here are the installer did such a messy job, wires not tacked to the wall outside, massive unsealed messy holes coming into the house and he didnt even ask us where the tv was going so theres not quite enough cable in the lounge to hide it around the skirting boards to the tv :mad: | |

Saw the adavert last night, in all honesty I actually think the "recommender" gets a free sky+ box and the "new customer" gets it for half price. But then of course there's a further subscription charge on top too. | |

quote: really? may be worth doing something like that :look: I'll have to call them when I'm not at work. Reason I am wondering if its a standard installation is cos the walls of my house are about 500mm thick solid stone :| and I'm 3 storeys up at the top of the house :lol: | |
