Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Ive seen similar spikes on mine under zero usage and wondered if it was to do with the Sky plus box being connected ???

Your running your own router arent you ?

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Talking of time it's repeated precisely every hour, not on the hour but every hour

Just had my digital micrometer up to the screen to make sure, but it's not quite every hour exactly actually

Going by the logic your screen detects when you leave the computer to make a hot beverage and during that time the computer is ferociously downloading anything it can, stopping only when the screen detects your presence again?

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.

I'd seen that signing up for the phone line rental online would have given half-price for 12 months (offer for existing customers still with BT for line rental), but that for the Sky Fibre it was only new customers who got no installation fee + half-price for 3 months.

So I phoned up and asked "are there any deals you can give me?"

Only 6 months half-price for the line rental, instead of 12, but being given the same deal as a new customer for the Sky Fibre gave a greater total saving than doing the phone line sign-up online.

As for the SR101 "Sky Hub"... I thought that that was supposed to be free for all Sky Fibre customers, new and old?

It is nice when a provider treats existing customers as well new ones

Re: Just had sky fibre installed
Heres 2 weeks worth of graphs, as you can see the blip happens at intervals just over 1 hour, without stopping, but lessening in height, then once they get close to disappearing, they go back to being big again. Strange.

craig as already said to you is due to the router.

I have tried a fair few routers on mine and I see different patterns for each router.

Not if youve already got the sagemcom (and its working), I bought one off Ebay in the end for £30 brand new and in the box

I wont hold it against you,



On a separate note I was hosting 5 player matches on Black Ops 2 last night between 9:30 till 11:30 pm and no real sign of lag or the router bogging down which is good news for the SR101 imo, my TBB monitor (see above post) didn't show any issues either.
