Do you turn yours off at the mains at night Mr Mole?

If you're on the older Netgear router, there's a firmware update available now that's supposed to be more stable, although I didn't have any problems (after a wobbly start) with the old one.

If you want pings of less than 80ms to UK servers, you will need to moan at Sky. So many people have done it now that they'll do it just if you fire off an email at them - I had to call at 2AM to have a chance at getting through to (or logging a callback from) a Tier 3 customer service rep who could actually change my line settings.

I was told I would get 5mb at most but get a steady 8mb all the time. The £10 is worth it for the unlimited usuage option imo
