Broadband Boost worth it?

Hello Folks,

 

I am paying about 4 quid more for Broadband Boost every month. I live in a multi storied house and right now I am just using the basic equipment given by Sky. So I am wondering if paying more for the Boost package is even necessary given everything is working just fine without any additional equipment or services?

@palsky It is only really worth it if you claim the extra hardware that it entitles you too. 

 

If the standard kit is working ok for you then there isn't any value in it 🙂

To be fair, if the standard kit would otherwise have been a Q Hub, then a Sky Broadband Hub is better.

Re: Broadband Boost worth it?

In that case, how do I stop it? Also, if I change my mind in the future, can I avail this package again?

Broadband Boost is basically becoming obsolete, and replaced by WiFi Max.
