    Hi
    Has anyone had issues with using sky as a broadband provider and using a android box off it? I've always been with Virgin (upc) but thinking of changing
    Just want to make sure sky doesn't have some way of blocking the use of android box
    They quoted speed of 25 Mbps ... Would this be fast enought ?

    Thanks

    Just be aware that Sky are just reselling Eir's infrastructure. Virgin's BB speeds are miles ahead of what Sky can provide. Sky will tell you that you can get up to 25mbps. That may mean less than 20mbps in reality.If I was with Virgin, I'd be very slow to leave them.
