[Technology] Now Superfibre

[jcdenton08]

Posted on here for advice previously - it went live today. Moved from BT (£64 a month- unlimited calls, broadband fastest available for area) to exactly the same for via Now (Sky) for £20 a month - one year contract. £44 a month saving not to be sniffed at...

Not a good start though, they only went and gave the wrong bloody WPA password/key/thing on the router and paperwork. How incompetent is that?!

I logged into the router settings and changed it as luckily I have an ethernet cable and an old laptop handy but for many people "change over" day would've been a nightmare.

How can big business **** up stuff like this? It's the classic "you have one job". A quick Google reveals hundreds of people in exactly the same situation.

That's a shame you got screwed over

My recent signing up to BT was perfect.
It was the template for how this shite should be handled.
Absolutely everything happened when they said it would from delivery to engineer, and the BB has been faultless since.

Got to wonder what their completion rate is as I doubt it's 50/50.

We have a Fibre (fibber) telegraph pole outside our house but apparently it's not connected to anything as we (Wales) ran out of money I won't even ask what SUPER Fibre does..............

Super Fibre is great for keeping you regular. Think of Bran Flakes but ten times more effective.

Can only say as I find, but I recently switched to Now and it was seamless.

Slightly off subject, as always with me.
I have Sky+ box and the download speed is very very slow. I can watch an UHD programme on my TV on BBC iplayer/Netflix/Amazon and it plays as I watch it with no problems. But downloading any HD show on to my Sky+ box takes forever. Generally find something to watch but have to wait an hour or so. Fibre speed is good and TV on wifi but Sky+ on ethernet as wifi slower.
Is this just Sky telling me to get a Q box?
