I'm with BT broasdband paying 18 quid a month - can't fault the service I have had , been excellent

However as Sky is free (or a fiver for a better option) am thinking of switching to them but not sure how good they are.

from what you're saying perhaps I should - think there may be a two week dead period though where I will be without internet at all or something ie SKy can't activate their service till the lines free and it takes 10-14 days

May switch
