I'd been connected when it was only offered at 2mbit upload so it only changed when they did everyone else. Good that it was only a few hours for you, enjoy

my one of cost was 62 quid. Thats for non customer though.
Eh?
I was not a SKY customer and my one-off costs were:
£50 connection fee
£2.50 (or thereabouts) to cover postage cost of the router.
Nothing else.
Why are they charging £87 or £62?
Are different people getting different deals?

Damit I missed out on the installation waiver and its now £50. Will wait until its waivered again...If I know Sky it will happen again soon. I have been with Sky for 7yrs and the website for existing customers still states the £50.
From 1st September the price of the Fibre raises to £21.50.

Just to clarify, is this charge applicable only if you don't already have a phone line? Specifically, what does this charge relate to?

There is a phone line in the house but it's not connected so I assume it's for the activation of the phone line.
Actually ordered mine just now. Not being installed till 17th of next month though
I ordered the same day as you and that was also the earliest day I could get it installed. It's quite an inconvenience as they claim a 2 week lead time on their website, but what can you do

eah sucks if virgin media reached my house ( 10 metres away ) could have already had it in and working.
According to the contract you have to use the supplied router.
Sky use an uncommon authentication method so there are only a few routers that work and they generally require extra work to set up. Another method if you don't mind an extra box, is setting up the Sky router as a "dumb" router to pass through to another router.

Been on Sky Fibre Optic for around 2-3 months now, I am finding it alright but the wifi signal on the router is just diabolical. Have I got a dodgy router or are they still sending the same ones out? I sometimes get zero/one bar and I am in the next room.
currently with AOL, paying £15 per month (about £11 line rental) for unlimited usage up to 8 meg speeds. actually get 3.8meg
sky fiber unlimited seems too good to be true
