    What type of speeds are people getting? I missed out on the trial, have Digiweb at home :(

    What's the price to be paid? Is it free line rental for ever?

    Ordered 15/1
    Estimated date of 30/1

    Syncing @ 7.2 MB mbps down / 0.4 mbps up

    From 3mb to 7 mb with no download limit and for less than half the price of eircom, BARGAIN!!!!!!!!

    You had the same order date and estimated date as me, and my Sky Hub arrived this morning (well.. yesterday, but was re-delivered this morning)..

    .. did you get an e-mail to say you were activated or did you just give it a shot?

    I've been up and running for 24h.
    Current sync @ DownStream Connection Speed 5115 - UpStream Connection Speed 508
    Was getting 8128 / 8xx with Voda.

    Any ideas when they start monitoring the line to increase speeds ?
    Thanks

    I gave them a call and it looked like my line had a set profile @5Mb.
    My profile will be updated later today

    Is there any way to put the router in bridge mode and use a different router? Or are you stuck trying to find the username and password as mentioned previously?

    I got no email and my activation date is Jan 31. Plugged it in and it's working perfectly. Worth a try.

    Same here, ordered on 15/1, estimated activation date 30/1, received the hub yesterday and just got an email to say that it is now activated. I won't be able to set it up until I get home from work this evening though.

    Best way is to check if your speeds increased on existing package.
    Before i set up my sky i checked speeds im synced at on eircom standard router and i could see they increased.

    No harm in trying. If it doesn't work just plug back in the old modem! Exact same speeds as Eircom for me.

    up from about 65 ping, 6dl, 0.35 upload with Eircom. To get these speeds would have been an extra 10 euro per month, the total cost of the sky broadband!

    Did you plug out the sky hub and plug it back in? It might sync at a different speed.

    Still not activated for me and my date was yesterday. Called them this morning and they couldn't tell me why is wasn't activated just there was a delay and could be up later today or tomorrow.

    I knew getting my hub after two days was too good to be true!

    I saw a few pages back that there was a problem with Vodafone not releasing the BB service for someone and there was a query over potentially getting charged twice (both providers).

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm guessing its the same as your Sky Digibox, you own it after 12 month contract is up.

    Got sky hub two days ago, connected it up this morning (from eircom, eircom bb was still working before I connected sky hub) and everything is working fine, wasn't supposed to be connected til the 30th.

    Getting the same speeds, should I expect an increase with sky in coming days? On rural exchange.

    They should have quoted you estimated speeds when you ordered.
