Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
yes is distance to cabinet but be sure first thats your cabinet.
I have one across the road from me also but it isnt my cabinet, BT dont necessarily do a circular coverage around each cabinet, its depends how the lines are routed.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
Forgot to say the virgin connection I have is 20mbit with 1mbit upload speed. Should be 10mbit but it got doubled to 20 a month or two ago, even though the area hasn't actually had the speed doubling upgrade yet.

Well yes, but the current cap is 80/20. That's what he'll probably get.
120+ is typically achievable at 100m from cab. At 10-15m, assuming the line doesn't zig-zag elsewhere I'd be inclined to see attainable rates closer to 200. One of my friends has a 95m line and that can manage 140Mbps.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
do you know when Sky will offer up to 160 to those able to get close to those speeds?

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
thenry never.
with vectoring the hope is 100mbit will be offerable, 160mbit wont happen without line bonding or a shift to profile 30a.

Actually 160 is already available... www.bt.com/infinity
Though not sure whether that's the 160 he was talking about.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
No, 160 is available on Openreach FTTP.
I don't know if Sky provides services over Openreach FTTP yet (or whether they will ever). But it's part of the same system as Openreach FTTC, which they already use.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
Well I guess Qas was correcting me then, as he is right sky can choose to sell the FTTP product but at this time they dont, but if we base on their current business decisions and assume they only sell the FTTC products then you wont see 160mbit or more soon.

Indeed.
Point was it is there for them to resell if they wanted to, even though they haven't announced any intention to. They could also run 330Mbps over Openreach FTTP if so inclined but even BT aren't daring enough to try that yet. But either way "never" is a bit far fetched.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband
Three weeks later and everything is as stable as it was the first few days:

Interested to know if there are tweaks I can do to squeeze out the extra 3 Mb/s down and 1 MB/s up? Not really worried about it but if I can do something without affecting the stability, then its worth doing
