Yea and that's on a wireless connection to, so not bad at all.;)

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Even more impressive if that is wireless :D

Is that the router Sky give you?

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

When I did that test, yes.

That was the first speedtest I ran, might've been coincedence though, as the average ping I get now, is anywhere from 12-17ms (which isn't bad either, really)

Average ping to the BBC is 15ms

But I am using another router right now, I'll try switching to the sky one again in a sec.

Yea, same kinda ping going through the sky box, 15-16 on average using speedtest.net and pingtest.

Still nice and low and the added bonus it will be stable :)

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Very and it's so nice to be able to watch Youtube videos again, without any buffering.
hehe

Nom nom nom
Your Sky Broadband

• Sky Fibre Unlimited Cancellation in progress
• Sky Fibre Unlimited Pro Awaiting activation

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

So you can't get enough of a good thing then :)

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

haha.

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

:tu:

Did you cancel your VM line too?

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Why would you upgrade to 80Mb when you can't even make full use of the 40Mb service?

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Because as I've found out, it doesn't matter if you can't hit the full 40, or 80mb, upgrading still grants you a higher speed.

I'm getting between 60 and 67mb down, 16-19 up. (And that's with 3 people using the connection, including my dad torrenting...heh)

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Awesome! 71.5 Mb/s isnt bad at all and the 17 Mb/s is seeding bandwidth I would guess XD

How much extra was the Pro on top? I forgot to ask them before.

Virgin called me a ton of times, sometimes a few days in a row. The last guy said maybe they can sort out my network problems with an engineer lol. I know its their job and training but I couldn't be arsed to explain there would be no quick fix.

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Pro is an extra £10 on top, I primarily upgraded for the upload speed (I am due to start making gaming videos to upload to Youtube, thus, needed the upload speed)

Total cost from memory is £44.95 a month, with the sky phone line. (£30 for Fibre pro, £14.95 for sky talk/rental)

But, it's the only true unlimited broadband in the UK these days, so it's worth the price I think.

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

Not bad for a tenner more.

Paying the same as you but mine is 40/10, phoneline and Sky 2TB HD+ box with Entertainment extra package. Still cheaper than I was paying virgin and faster broadband along with lots of channels compared to the M+ I had. It was the unlimited/unshaped that made me decide on sky over the others too. Might have gone for Plusnet if they had removed their limits sooner.

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
 

if you have a HG modem then unlocking it and disabling QoS will also give around 10% extra throughput on the upstream. From looking at speedtests of ECI modems I think they dont have any such issue in their locked state.
