SkyMax Pod

I have got Sky Max, it has solved the problem upstairs in my house but still bad at the rear of the house, I called today to see if Sky could provide an additional pod, but was told an engineer would need to call out, this would mean taking time off work which I don't want to do as I know a pod would resolve the issue as I have tried the pod I have, they said I am entitled to a max of 3 but would need a visit

Do you have to pay a monthly rental for Sky Max? If so it might make more financial sense to buy your own mesh system e.g here which is £100 for 3 nodes and does not require taking time off work.

Thanks, yes I pay a subscription, and a lot for the Broadband itself, my sister is with Virgin and she got them free, so will have a look at that also.
