Sky Broadband & BE Broadband

Be Broadband and Sky Broadband were runners up in thBE Broadbandboth with average ratings of 8 out of 10 for price.  It’s worth pointing out that BE Broadband are owned by Telefonica Group, who also own O2 – they obviously know what their customers like when it comes to cost.

Fastest broadband provider

O2 Broadband

O2 won this category, with an average rating of 9 out of 10 for broadband speed, a nearly perfect score.

- runner up

BE Broadband

O2‘s sister company – BE Broadband narrowly fell short of the top spot in this award, with an average rating of 8 out of 10 for speed. O2 and BE run off the same network, which doesn’t rely on BT’s wholesale product, this means they’re able to set their own standards for fast internet. Something which their users have recognised with their great broadband reviews.

Most reliable broadband provider

BE Broadband & O2 Broadband

It’s hardly surprising that BE and O2 have scooped the joint top prize for this category. They both share the same network which is effectively owned by their parent group company Telefonica. BE Broadband sell their product as a high speed and highly reliable solution, whereas O2 Broadband have positiioned themselves as a more accessible and mainstream provider – however it looks as though both companies are quite capable of keeping their users satisfied when it comes to reliability. Yet another advantage of not having to rely on the BT wholesale network like so many other providers. Both companies scored an exemplary 9 out of 10 for reliability.

- runner up

Plusnet Broadband

Plusnet Broadband were the runner up in this category, achieving a respectable 7 out of 10 rating by their broadband subscribers. With such cheap prices it’s good to see that their users feel that they’re receiving a reliable service as well.

- runner up

AgaBE Broadbandat O2 Broadband and BE Broadband are owned by the same Telefonica Group, it’s hardly surprising that they offer such a similar service. It is however highly commendable that they both appear to such high levels of service , a real credit to their owners.

This all sounds great in theory but it turns out that the default security setup has a major flaw. The network key can be worked potentially giving hackers access to your network. Sky’s network keys are generated via an algorithm calculation on the routers MAC address.

For a hacker to get the routers MAC address would be childs play and the algorithm’s to generate the network key is far from unbreakable.

Whats the moral of story? well if you are one of  the 1 million or so sky broadband customers and have used the default security setup then its time to change your network key to something “random” if your need help doing this try here
