@Wantmebed : What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for his phone number? Post just the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise his phone number or he doesn't have one, use the Address Checker.

He doesn't have a landline phone number and am not at his ad have o idea what the other 2 boxes are asking for.

He was told he could buy an ee box and use it plugged into sky router?

From the 3-bar Menu at top select "Address Checker".

He was told plugging an ee box (with sim) into his sky box would give him getter reception as his sky keeps buffering and at the moment where he lives he can only get sky.

Rite brought load stuff up I don't understand

That stuff you see is for me to see & advice accordingly.

You don't plug mobile routers, those with SIMs, into Sky Home BB routers. They are to be used separately & independently.

Done the only way I know how to.

Thanks, The most he can get there is 3 Meg on ADSL. It'll be same from EE as from Sky.

That's v. slow these days. In fact it always was. He'd best get a mobile router & ditch the Sky BB. That should be faster.

How's the Mobile Coverage Checker for his postcode?

That box with a SIM card that you keep referring to. Some of EE's can be found @ Mobile Broadband
