Don't need to sign, but they're a bitch to get through letterboxes, if you've got a fairly modern house it should fit through, but depends on the postman as their a very tight fit and sometime require a bit of "effort" :lol:

Sweet.
Did you have to sign for the Hub on delivery?

as BT advertise theirs as "fitting through a standard letterbox"

I have sky fibre with the hub and it's quick enough for me. Never had a problem downloading anything. Films take seconds to download which is good.

I have decided on Sky.
Mainly because for the 18month contract term they work out £101 cheaper for a "like for like package"

And having had a bt home hub 1,1.5,2,2.5 and 3.0 which all sucked majorly and kept dropping connections/ needed constantly restarting im hoping the sky one will be better.

BT Home Hub 5 which you get with BT Infinity gets really good reviews, recently upgraded to one and always get full blown speed over wireless now.

I'm with Sky fibre currently, I chose them over BT as they are truly unlimited, no slowing down with p2p or anything. BT may have changed since then though, it was a couple of years back now. You'll get the same speed with either though.

The BT and Sky hubs are both pretty mediocre really. My router was a pre sky hub one, but I have replaced it with an Asus RT-66U which is mile better :)

Hi.
I need to sort out broadband for my new place.
Luckily i can get Fibre (but not virgin yet)
So is there any difference between Sky Fibre and Bt infinity?.
Both unlimited packages work out to pretty much the same per month.
I guess both package hubs are guff.. So will most likely get a dual/ triband netgear anyway.



Cheers.

or.. also they both seem to want 3 weeks for the "tech" to activate the line?
surely i can argue that for 3/4 of the month ill be paying for BB that i effectively cannot use?. or is this not the case.
