Yea Sky can provide you with a wireless adaptor but tbh I'd always recommend a wired set up over wireless as its more stable!

Shame as I have just ditched my sky broadband as the could only offer me the £17 a month package as they didn't have their own hub at my local exchange. Now I'm with orange and it is dog slow!

Will they ever do broadband without the need of a phone line? I hate having a house phone sitting there collecting dust...


I am enjoying the free broadband but hate the adult channels...

Can the sky HD box be set to go wireless? / dongle route..

Or will it work with the ethernet bridge route...

Dont want to / Cant do the cable rout due to the loacation of the box
