PlayStation®Network General

Hi mate. Ive been with sky for 3 years now and apart from having to change the dns settings have had no problems at all. Only advice I can give you is sky max package is the best for online gaming. There is no fair usage policy on that one.

try here for any tips and answers dudes.

Sky max yes, if you can get it.

Any other package an you,ll be tearin your hair out.....

The problem should have gone now as sky internet used to count the playstation network as heavy traffic or something like that

[Birchy01]

plus the medium sky package works fine but only has a 10GB limit now

The problems gone, but sky connect users (like myself) are being throttled from 5:30pm to 12:30am, speeds are majorly slow, its nearly impossible to have a decent game during these times.

I would suggest to all to check out the exchange search from sam knows broadband and see if your exchange is LLU enabled.

sad to report, I was on the sky max LLU, and it too started to disconnect me using the PS3, not just in store buys, but radomly in games, so thankfully, I was in the end of my contract, and cancelled everything.

I'm moving back to BT for phone & internet (option 3 unlimited downloads with free black home hub), I've used them before sky, and never once had issiues like I had with sky.

We're just about to move away from BT because they've been terrible for us.

Hopefully you'll have better luck with them, though.

Thanks for the warning, just managed to stop the BT order going through, instead, I've joined Idnet, getting the gamers package, Home Super Max, and going live on Tuesday 27th October.

I did have them a while ago, just after Virgin Cable put screws on download caps, so I know Idnet's OK.

At the moment, unfortunately I have no choice with which broadband I am on (hopefully this may change at some point, though).

If I had the choice, knowing Sky is not in our exhange, there is no way I would have gone with them. And we're paying pretty much a standard price for a substandard service. It would make sense if it was part of the package we're on, say at £5 extra, but definitely not at the price we're paying.

Certainly would have gone with them for the max package if they were (one of the very few packages without a fair use policy).

My recommendation? If the broadband company is not in your exchange, do not go with them.

As another user has pointed out, samknows.com is pretty good for knowing what's in your exchange (and usually elsewhere if you're moving, too).
