If you decide to join Sky on their Max package you'd be looking at 768kbps upstream - your downstream is going to be around the same as you've got. Unfortunatley you'd have to use the router Sky supply you with (unless you flash it)

Edit - If you do decide to go with Sky, See here for flashing your router ;)

I'd wait for Be if you can. Getting sky with their MaxDSL package isn't going to do much for you - and probably have worse support than newnet (they're an entanet reseller, right?).
 
Be/o2
You can use your own router etc. with them.
Speeds are excellent, they don't have any peak times and you can download as much as you want. Pings are way better than Sky - Sky are oversubscribed at the exchange tbh.
Support is excellent, with Sky you can enjoy explaining to them for hours what your problem is.
