Sorry, I thought you actually had a clue. My mistake.

You don't have to use the router that $ky give you. It's against their Ts and Cs but you can use any router you want.

You will need the login and password to put into the replacement router and $ky won't give you this, but it is possible to extract them from the original router. I'll leave it to you to find out how for yourself, assuming you know how to use google.

Once you have done that you can tweak away to your heart's content.

By the way, I use an ex-$ky Netgear DG834GT bought brand new from fleabay for 2 quid and flashed the DGTeam firmware. Highly recommended.

Please, anyone knows how to hack the user and pass from the router. I'm talking about people in general, not people that know how to bypass Sky's stupid policies using third person sniffing scripts.

Even once this is done I'm at a loss to explain how you think you can get decent speed increases through firmware options. Feel free to explain.
