    Hi,
    Just inquiring what kind of download speeds people are getting.
    I recently switched to sky and my download speed is 24.1 mbps and upload of 14.5mbps.
    Some websites such as donedeal are taking ages to load and most pictures on the site dnt load up.
    Sky advertises its broadband as “super fast” never had issue with virgin media broadband band before I switched.

    They advertise the speeds to be super fast but only over cable. It will be much slower over wifi.
    My Virgin is supposed to be 240mbps but its only around 10 mbps over wifi. It gets slower in the evenings

    Agree Sky is a second rate service, currently locked into their contract and I can't wait to change providers.
    I often find that their service is very poor at times when traffic should be light such as 1:00am to 6:00am (I work shift) and poor to average the rest of the time. Not a patch on what UPC/ Virgin was a couple of years ago.
