What experiences you don't have any of Sky :confused:
He has to receive within that guideline or he can cancel , his line can obviously cope with the minimum 9mb , my estimate was 5-11mb I get 9mb.
l have had several experiences in the last couple of years whilst staying with family in several places and the speed we got was 0.5MB to 1.0MB.

Simple answer to that Den is there on a long line from the exchange or have a fault , my parents can't get much over 1mb with a BT line due to being on a long line however theyre exchange is due to be upgraded for fibre later this year.

l think there is a lot of truth in how far users are from the exchange as both members of my family are 8 to 10 miles from the exchange.

Unfortunately Den , that is the limitation for some with long lines , my Sky BB line gives me 9mb which for my use i'm more than happy with until a time when my exchange is upgraded to fibre giving me the option to upgrade to either 40/2 or 80/20 service from Sky.

Due to a mess up by vm my new install date for phone and bRoadband and is now the 7th of June

I have 3 non activated phone jacks (living room and 1 in each bedroom) 2 bedrooms so will sky still install the box plus 2 multirooms or is this gonna be a further delay?

they didn't, i got shafted big style and now i'm on the war path with the housing people, the return connection for sky+ is apparently not working, no multiroom either because there was sky connectors in the rooms, so because of the total balls up i never got the 1tb sky+hd box

absolutely furious

the 2 installers came up to install the sky tb box, plus the 2x multirooms, but when they went into the room they said it couldn't be done i'd have to get the housing to sort it or id have fork out the money for it, , so i never got the 2x multiroom installed (i have no idea why) just said they don't do that type of install whatever the hell that meant, so the engineer passed me onto the cs, was asked a few questions and then the installer said we have another problem, the return connection in my house aint working so i can only have the tb box but can only record 1 thing at a time, i said fine so the guy installs the tb box and it all goes well, 5 mins later the the other installer comes up and says because of the order you made and because we can't do the instal for that order you cant get the tb box they then installed the hd+ box

no tb box, no multirooms and only 1 recordable feed.

5 mins with sky and now i ask my self the question, why did i even bother
