Hrm. You don't sound like a Sky Hater, just someone who is tarring the LLU products with the same brush as the Connect product.

You say at the start you have first hand experience of Sky Connect but to expect throttling on the Max implying you've no experience then in the 2nd to last paragraph you claim to have experience of the Max product as well so you're contradicting yourself in your post.

There is no throttling or congestion on the Sky 20Mbps products at all. Only Sky Connect, which is dire, suffers from all of this and is best avoided. If you had used the Max product you'd know there's no throttling.

The Sagem router is fine, it's a router with wireless, it is no worse than any other ISP's free router. I used a much earlier model of it, wireless range was much of muchness.

I haven't seen a home router you can plug a patch cable into and use without it being possible to use Ethernet. When you plug a patch cable into a home router Ethernet is what the cable is carrying as far as I'm aware.

Simply your advice isn't in any way applicable to Sky Max, which apparently is number one in terms of stability of the speeds it provides - pretty tough to do if there's all this throttling and congestion at peak times.

Sky's LLU / Max service is by all accounts throttling and congestion free and a pretty decent product.
