Sky Broadband has just announced speed increases for its Mid and Max broadband packages, which are now known as Sky Broadband Everyday and Sky Broadband Unlimited respectively.
Sky Broadband Everyday now rocks with a top speed of 10Mbps, up from the original 8Mbps that was available when it was called Sky Broadband Mid. Unfortunately, this shift in speed also sees the monthly usage cap drop from 40GB per month to 10GB.
Sky Broadband Unlimited comes with a top speed of 20Mbps, up from the top 16Mbps available before, and as it’s name suggests, retains the same Unlimited usage cap that Sky Broadband Max customers enjoyed.
Other changes to Sky Broadband packages include the increase of Sky Talk line rental on all packages up to £11 a month, although this is not due to take place until the 1st of September.
From today, Sky is reducing the free trial period of McAfee Internet Security from 12 months to 3 months on Sky Broadband Base and Everyday. Sky Broadband Unlimited subscribers and those who have already registered for McAfee trial will continue to benefit from their 12 months free McAfee Internet Security service.

Broadband providers are much the same other than services being offered at various times.
Importantly is also there service.
Sky offers a wireless router, it may not provide a strong enough signal for your wireless needs around your home or garden. There are wireless routers on the market you can purchase that do give a stronger signal, BUT Sky will not let you use them. Find another Internet Service Provider just in case.
