I'm on that sky package. I've literally just finished rewiring my phone line to reduce internal noise.

The problem we have in particular (And many others) is at night the noise at the line increases and the box needs to be manually resynced (rebooted) to restore the connection. I.e. you can get max speed during the day but at night it needs to be reduced.

Also pings on adsl2+ seem to be worse especially if you get put in interleaved mode (which is sky's policy).

My advice is, if you can get cable, get cable. On ADSL you are at the mercy of ancient copper cables.
