Sky fibre question
 

Hi all
I currently have Sky broadband as a backup to my main VM broadband.
I'm debating if it's worth keeping Sky as I only get around 4.5 mbps on a good day which is about as good as I could expect with the distance from the exchange. I did consider Sky fibre but would it significantly improve my speeds based on my current adsl predicted maximum download speed of 4-4.5 mbps .
Cheers.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

With Sky fibre distance from the exchange is immaterial. It is distance from the cabinet that's important.

To get a rough idea enter your address here.

Don't enter your phone number as you are with Sky so it won't return a result.

Ah great i'll check that out. Thanks Pip. :tu:
Well i just used it. Didn't recognise my number (presumably as i moved from BT > O2 > Sky), so I used the less accurate post code checker and it just produced the bog standard ADSL speed info ...2.5-6.0

Re: Sky fibre question
 

Does this checker help?

I did say use the ADDRESS checker for a reason. The postcode checker is the least accurate.

Ta Snoopz, it tells me I can get it, but no speed estimates.

Gives worse results than the post code checker (not to say it isn't more accurate). But it's a table of adsl / vdsl speeds.

I notice that at the end of last year they were guaranteeing 55 mbps or your money back...sounds a bit optimistic but i'd bite their hands off for half that speed.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

What are the VDSL speeds? They are what you can expect from Sky depending on the packages they sell.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

How do you find the UPRN number which is required when doing that? I had a google but failed to find how.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

You don't need it.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

3.5 :erm: not exactly 55 guaranteed.
is VDSL actually fibre ?

Re: Sky fibre question
 

VDSL is FTTC and is sold as a fibre product.

Why don't you just post a screenshot of the result you get. I can then tell you what to expect.

Remove your address before posting.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

Any good ?

Re: Sky fibre question
 

You must be a long way from your cabinet. FTTC is not for you. Forget about Sky fibre for now.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

I've forgotten already. Thanks Pip.

Re: Sky fibre question
 

I do the same.

I have the lower of the fibre options and get 30M down, 4.5M up, on it.
