Bye, Sky - but not the router?

mcgriffo · 28 Jan 2008 at 20:35

I am about to migrate from Sky BB to PlusNet - will I still be able to use the wireless Netgear router that came witht he Sky BB package?

I know there is a need to overwrite firmware etc if you want to use a DIFFERENT router WITH Sky BB, but are there any things that need to be done for me to use Sky's Netgear router with Plusnet?

thanks....

so, can i flash the firmware now while still with sky ? if i have to wait to be disconnected, it's a bit of a catch 22 isn't it?

cheers

To answer the "Why not Sky" question, I'm actually getting rid of the TV service and I wouldn't get the BB for £5 a month then!

Plusnet gets some very good reviews (in the last 6 months) with the majority of people being v happy with it.

I was looking at the 9.99 package so that isn't more expensive than the link - and the router PlusNet give you with that package doesn't state it as being wireless.

Ok... if I were to think twice (as most people seem to be advocating) how about O2? They seem to get some pretty decent reviews....
