You said before that your attenuation was 59.0 db.... that'll be why your speed is poor. Plus having a low noise margin too doesn't help things.

i've read on some forum sky auth against the routers mac address not a username/pass not sure if that's correct or not.
the sky router is a DG834GT (i think, its either that on the DG834G) with sky firmware.

Yep, the Sky router is a Netgear DG834GT.
You can flash the Sky router with normal Netgear DG834GT firmware, however it's a violation of the Sky BB Terms & Conditions (as is using an alternative router to the one they provide). Is possible though.
The Sky router does connect using a username/password. However, the custom Sky firmware hides these from the customer. If you flash with normal Netgear firmware, it reveals the username/password info hidden by the Sky firmware. There are also other methods to extract the username/password, & other info [
