I have been following this thread since the beginning, and feel that I should point out the one fact you seem to be conveniently ignoring. As BOD20 pointed out in the first of his replies, is that the 5Ghz Wifi network has a very short range, being affected by something a simple as a wall or even a person walking between units. It does not matter if it is Sky's 5Ghz network or the 5Ghz network supplied by your home router they are both affected the same. Do you have any 5Ghz devices in your home and if so do they always stay connected to the 5Ghz service or resort to the 2.4Ghz service? As stated hardwired networks are the best. It is up to you what you do now, but blaming Sky will not necessarily fix YOUR problem.

The car would have needed a complete respray to be immaculate. The N/S passenger door had a small dent in it which was done on a gate, the drivers door had paint damage where a hubcap came off a car as we passed on a country lane and the rear bumper had a deep scrape and scuffs where people "touch parked" where I used to live. The N/S door mirror casing also had some deep scratching too. The front seat backs would have also needed changing because of the fire damage. The original MOT runs out on the 28th April 2015 and should have expired when the car was written off, not that it was, but still says 2015 on the DVLA, The tyres where up for renewal, but look like the originals even thought they are suppose now to be new! It needed a VIC check but it seemed to have passed that a few weeks ago. I have attached a few photos.

This car is described as "Skoda fabia vrs cat c was Minor Damage low miles full ssh", also as having "NO suspension damage". Unfortunately the bit about "Minor Damage" and "no suspension damage" is far from the truth. I was the original owner from new. The car was written off on the 13th of Jan 2015, when a car driving down the outside of stationary traffic, as I was turning right in front of them, hit the rear off side passenger door. This twisted the "B" pillar pulling down the roof. It also bent the rear axle, caused rippling in the boot floor, flatting the sill, rear quarter panel and after a week of standing the near side passenger doors now where not opening and closing smoothly as they did prior to the accident, suggesting the chasses was twisting. The repair costs where estimated at well over £4000 and that was before they had started to take it apart! I was going to buy it back and repair it, but decided against it after the assessor said he was surprised that I was allowed to buy it back as in his option it was only fit for breaking due to the amount of damage. There for to repair it correctly and make a profit on resale corners may have been cut. as it is only listed at £3200 ono. As a side note the interior suffered slight fire damage when a can of deicer punctured and ignited due to the force of the accident. A friend emailed the seller and asked what the damage was, as a door would not make it a "cat C". The sellers reply was, it needed a door and a seatbelt. Both true, but seems to have forgotten about the body work, chasses and suspension damage. I have photos of the damage if required.

Mine was built on the 29th March 2007, and registered on the 28th April 2007, so must be about the last one made.

I have an 07 plate Black Magic VRS registered 28/04/2007 with a build date of 29/03/2007, confirmed by the many dated labels on the backs of trim etc and from the build sheet. So is one of the last built and registered in th UK.
