I know, I saw this and thought 'Virgin Media'.

Looks crap, but hopefully it will actually perform well. It looks pretty thick though?

Was just thinking that it looks good but hopefully will also perform well for those of you with sky

Router hub? Seriously, who comes up with these names?

kona786 · 6 Aug 2012 at 08:23

sure ain't sleek:

Yjani · 6 Aug 2012 at 08:48

Looks quite tasty, wonder how much they'll charge for it for existing customers to upgrade

bartledvd · 6 Aug 2012 at 08:53

i cant see any use for me needing one.
the cheap flimsy thing i got when signed up has never let me down yet so no way am i going to meddle with something new for no reason

Onboard power supply.

I wonder if this would be worth upgrading from my DG834GT to.

JoeF1 · 6 Aug 2012 at 10:22

Its monday... What will this do compared to my usual router?

Confused.. FGS hope they do it in black. This is ugly in white.

Wonder if it comes with four gigabit lans.

PiKe · 6 Aug 2012 at 10:34

It' as big as my NAS.

MissChief · 6 Aug 2012 at 15:00

No Gigabit LAN at all I believe. On board PSU is a good thing as sky have had huge bother with separate PSU failures.

I wonder if it's made by Technicolor? They like to use yellow RJ45 ports on the TG585n (as one example)

oli356 · 6 Aug 2012 at 15:32

Looks horrible.

Why the heck are they calling anything a hub? Would be better being called a Sky Router Switch

So when the PSU fails now the entire router is useless, great thinking Sky.

They may as well call this the 'Brick from the Sky Hub'..

P.S. I am actually with Sky and think it looks awful! xD

Looks great. I'll get one to replace my black\silver router that looks like a small Sky Box.
