Is it any good?
On AOL at the moment, and i'm sure Sky will be better than that; aswell as being almost half price for the same service.
Any opinions?
Also, does anyone know if i can i keep my aol email address?

Cheap one is in cable areas.
Areas with no cable sky don't have any direct competitors that can provide tv and internet.

areas outside the current full catchement can get up to 8mb for £17 a month. this is almost half what i'm currentlt paying with AOL, and when the proper service becomes available, the same product will become £5 pcm.
for anyone elses reference, i had a reply fom AOL today saying you can keep an email address for £2.50 a month.
i'll probably use that for a couple of months untill i can switch everything over to a generic email account.

The catchment area means you don't have cable available afaik.
They just use normal adsl like any other isp so theres nothing else they need to do.

Exactly, I've spoke to a few engineers and they've all said that Sky will be using ADSL and it will be put through old BT lines meaning that it won't be cable. I'm sticking with NTL!
