what network does sky use as ive just moved house and im having really bad connection problems. this doesnt happen with ANY other sites (pokerstars, genting, pkr etc) which are all fine with multiple tables but with just one table on sky open i can only play 1 hand every ten? i did have problems before when i played multiple tables but not to this extent, could anyone help?

Look around other threads re: disconnection issues (on this site whilst other sites are fine multitabling).
Hi Mangan.
Sky Poker is not on a Network, nor is it a "skin", it is a standalone, independent, Poker Site.
I'm sorry you are having connection problems.
For those like you & I, & many others who discuss the way the internet works, & maybe wonder who is to blame when things don't go to plan, I strongly recommend a book I have just read.
It is by Andrew Blum, & is entitled "Tubes, a Journey to the centre of the internet".
It is a really stunning little book, & I challenge ANYONE not to be surprised by it's contents.
Amazon is your friend.
Here's a review of the book, or an extract from a review....
"....In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum goes inside the Internet's physical infrastructure and flips on the lights, revealing an utterly fresh look at the online world we think we know.
It is a shockingly tactile realm of unmarked compounds, populated by a special caste of engineer who pieces together our networks by hand; where glass fibers pulse with light and creaky telegraph buildings, tortuously rewired, become communication hubs once again.
From the room in Los Angeles where the Internet first flickered to life to the caverns beneath Manhattan where new fiber-optic cable is buried; from the coast of Portugal, where a ten-thousand-mile undersea cable just two thumbs wide connects Europe and Africa, to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, where Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have built monumental data centers—Blum chronicles the dramatic story of the Internet's development, explains how it all works, and takes the first-ever in-depth look inside its hidden monuments.
This is a book about real places on the map: their sounds and smells, their storied pasts, their physical details, and the people who live there.
For all the talk of the "placelessness" of our digital age, the Internet is as fixed in real, physical spaces as the railroad or telephone. You can map it and touch it, and you can visit it.
Is the Internet in fact "a series of tubes" as Ted Stevens, the late senator from Alaska, once famously described it? How can we know the Internet's possibilities if we don't know its parts?...."
