Any of the Sky DG834's will do, just flash em with DGTeam firmware and away you go

Because the Sky ones come with Sky's own firmware, which locks the ADSL user name and password among other things. Just flash them with the standard Netgear firmware or the DGTeam firmware and you'll get the full function back. Can pick them up nice and cheap on eBay.
edit: If it's a DG834GT, don't use the latest Netgear firmware, use one a couple of versions old or the DGTeam one.

I have a new Sky one here, boxed and been tested. Yours for £10 posted. I will even flash it for you with the DGTeam software.
