Finally got Sky!
And went from a solid 4mbps to 3.2, 384kbps to ~290 and pings of 12ms (bbc.co.uk) to 77ms :shocked:
:td: Sky Edit: Btw, this is the "up to 8mbit/448kbit upload" ---------- Post added at 21:13 ---------- Previous post was at 20:33 ---------- Edit: It just went off, and said "ADSL Link Down" I reconnected, did a speedtest and I'm getting 5.3mbps |
Re: Finally got Sky!
if its max and it's only just been activated, you'll have to wait anywhere upto 10 or so days while it trains and then gets locked to the best possible speed.

Re: Finally got Sky!
Okay, I'll leave it a bit then. Thanks.
Also, is it normal for my router to keep asking me to log in every so often? |
Re: Finally got Sky!
sky connect (the one you on) is much poorer than skys normal LLU service.

Re: Finally got Sky!
I'm on the "Mid" service
|
Re: Finally got Sky!
What are the stats? Downstream attenuation & noise margin?
How do you connect the router? Extension or master socket? etc. etc. Quote:
Nope, not with Sky BB Max, Mid, or Base. Sky's LLU services have no "training period". Unless by "max" you mean "ADSLMax", such as Sky's non-LLU "Sky BB Connect" service, which is just a resold BT BB ADSLMax service. |
Re: Finally got Sky!
Sky "Mid" package
Connection Speed 3808 kbps 384 kbps Line Attenuation 26.0 db 13.5 db Noise Margin 11.5 db 14.0 db |

Re: Finally got Sky!
Are you connected to the main BT socket in your house? How far are you from your exchange?

It's easily low enough for the full 16mbps (depending on noise margin) if you were to be on Sky BB Max, & certainly low enough for the full 8mbps on Sky BB Mid. However your sync speed is low, & noise margin high. Maybe you've been capped due to a poor line, or maybe the noise margin was very low the last time the router synced (causing a low sync speed), & has since risen.

It's only Sky BB Max which has 768kbps upload. Quote:

Re: Finally got Sky!
I plugged my router into the test socket and got 7mbps, then I realised all the other sockets needed those splitter things. Now I have
Connection Speed 8096 kbps 384 kbps Line Attenuation 25.0 db 13.0 db Noise Margin 14.8 db 14.0 db and get a download speed of just under 7mbps, and an upload speed of 320kbps. Pings are still bad compared to VM though. Matt D, could I really get around 16mbps with Max? |
