Re: Just had sky fibre installed
4 months after being installed and the weekend/evening lag is annoying me now...
....the lack of lag makes these graphs look so boring
Not bad enough to make me want to return to Virgins lag though

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Im running a web server on port 80, as well as a few other services so of course my graph looks awful

But for the OCD among us I do agree too many spikes...

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Still waiting for mine.
The guy who took the original order screwed up somehow by making separate orders for the line rental and the Sky Fibre (although we have Sky BB Unlimited we still had BT line rental due to being customers before the Sky line rental requirement), causing the Sky Fibre order to automatically be rejected due to "overtaking" the line rental order.
So, we had to wait for the line rental swap to take place, and *then* order sky Fibre again.
Did that on Saturday, and the new installation date is Monday 22nd April...
Still got the same deal, though  Half-price line rental for 6 months + no installation fee + half-price fibre for 3 months

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Thats a sweeter deal than I got Matt, having said that I didnt haggle, I just rang up and said where do I sign  .
I decided to go ahead and try the new router (SR101) but couldnt get Sky to send me one for nowt, so Ive just bought one of Ebay for £30 brand new and in the box
I very kind forum member had previosuly got my WRT610N router to work on OpenWrt firmware but it proved to be just too buggy in the end so I had to revert back to the older Sagemcom unit.
I also noticed last night that web pages seemed slow to load (unusual) so I did a sweep of the area and found that Sky are now providing BB to most of my neighbours and we were all on the same wireless channel (No1), set it channel 3 and it has improved now thankfully, but fingers crossed the SR101 will improve things further.
