sky broadband?

ok the jargon here is going to be simple mode.

sky provided me with a neatgear (g series) basic wireless router. this router it the worse thing i have come across. it have a very weak signal to other pc's in the house if not no signal at all. i asked sky if i bought another netgear router from pc world n1 series with more coverage like 1.800 feet. will it work , they said no it wont because all sky routers have been programmed to sky only. so no other will work. is this true? i have three screaming kids with three different laptops. all wanting to go online at the same time. (help) sky is totally rubbish and if anyone is thinking of signing up then dont !!

    Sky are giving you the run around: You can buy any adsl wireless router and set it up yourself but you are not going to get 1800 feet. Indoors more like 50 feet is the max.

    Right ok, this is a pile of rubbish!! The big companies do this so that you think that you have to buy a more powerful router from them. It doesnt matter what provider your with you can still use a router that hasnt been supplied by the provider
