    Is there anything I should know if I want to connect to sky broadband?

    If I order sky broadband, can I just plug it in or do I need to configure a couple of things?

    I've had problems with other ISPs in the past.

    It depends on the modem. Almost every modem as of now works with linux. You may not be able to use the proprietary software bundled with some modems, but with enough knowledge and information on the configuration, i guess you won't have problems using their service.

    Yes, and I was hoping someone could soothe my worries that he/she has Linux running with a sky broadband modem in the Philippines.

    yeah right. But you could also be the first then save everyone else's ***. Besides, the community will always be at your side.
