No

Because the maximum figures is for Maxdsl where as skys 16mb is ADSL2+

My line says between 6.5mb and 8mb on Maxdsl

Re: Sky Broadband
 

did you read my post or just ignore what I said.

my comment is based on published BT data not my line.

although my line has a very high attenuation for the length, my synch of 4500 with a 15snr margin is very high for the attenuation.

You had to scout to find people with 3meg on 58 attenuation, good for you, I could do the same but I could also find people with only 512kbit on the same attenuation, bit of a biased view coming from yourself.

But to put this to rest here for you.

http://www.adslguide.org/newsarchive.asp?item=2846

so its nearer 42% for 8mbit, but for 16mbit it will be below 25%. The reason why the % of people on LLU with high speeds is high is because many LLU providers simply refuse to even provision bad lines cherry picking their customers.

Re: Sky Broadband
 

so with these results you saying i can get 6MB on ADSL2+ on sky, sorry im a noob at ADSL

You are connected to the Bracknell telephone exchange.

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifADSL is available in your areahttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifYour exchange is also enabled for ADSL Max services
According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 3Mbps or greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max.

Standard ADSL RAG results:
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifYou cannot receive 2Mbps ADSL https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifYou may be able to receive 1Mbps ADSL https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifYou can receive 512Kbps ADSL https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2007/10/14.gifYou can receive 256Kbps ADSL

Re: Sky Broadband
 

Whats your router stats?

Re: Sky Broadband
 

what do you mean, how far i am from the exchange, if yes its You are approximately 1.67km from the exchange (straight line distance).

Re: Sky Broadband
 

What router you got?

Re: Sky Broadband
 

none right now, im with NTL and got the modem connected straight to my pc, i might move to sky, just depends how fast i can go

Re: Sky Broadband
 

In that case you will never know what speed you will get until your connected.

Without line stats its impossible to tell as even though your 1.67km from the exchange your line will almost likely take a longer route and could pick up noise on the way.

Re: Sky Broadband
 

if you with ntl I dont suggest getting adsl unless ntl is particurly bad in your area or you need something one of the niche adsl providers can give you.

Re: Sky Broadband
 

Like lower costs

Thats why I left cable. I am getting 4 times more upload and double speed for £11 less

And please no landline arguments as I have to have a landline even if i was on Cable for Sky

Re: Sky Broadband
 

hey,

regard yo a few posts back aout stats and that, my brother is on ADSL with orange and might want to go with sky, on tets they say 5MBS or greater on ADSL max, his connected straight to the ADSL modem can i still check these stats and how?

Re: Sky Broadband
 

Tell me what router he has and I will tell you how to get these stats

Re: Sky Broadband

speedtouch 330

Re: Sky Broadband
 

can work the other way tho, you are in an llu area?

I went from £35 10meg/512 ntl to £27 4meg/448 guess which I prefer.

I could have got cheaper adsl but then I would have to put up with shaping etc. None of the llu providers other then sky will touch my line with a barge pole.
