Are you all using the Sky Hub too?

I'm supposedly getting activated today so will be able to add to this discussion later. Maybe.

Sky's SR101 hub here. Never used to get the pattern at my old address using the same hub though, although I suspect the pattern would also be seen there now.

Mines still about the same as always?

Nope, and I am using the Linksys E4200 running DDWRT connected straight to the OR modem

Its definitely unique to Sky and happens across both ECI and Huawei kit

Nope, dont have Sky TV

interestingly though, I used to have different patterns before my DLM profile change last week:

Before -

I'm stumped them considering Mick's post (you had to be different!

) and yours Craig. I would have put it down to routing/a common hop if yours was not DLM related but instead a route change which increased your min latency to TBB.

This is gonna bug me now

craigj2k12 · 06-06-2013, 16:06

Maybe its the internal firmware updates they are rolling out to resolve the "half speed" issue?

To be honest, I didnt actually check whether DLM had changed my profile, but I have noticed my tracert's do show higher latency as well as the TBB monitor

So I went from this on BT:

To this on Sky:

Initial connection was via Sky Hub, then disconnection while setting up the 7800.

Much happier with latency in general, eg this to froschroom.com (QW server):

Spoiler:

Where it was around 18-20ms on BT.

And this to BBC:

Spoiler:

Not seeing the spikes you guys are, could be because this graph is through f8lure.

Nice difference between the two driz

Chrysalis · 07-06-2013, 17:41

is there a way to get sky FTTC without sky line rental?

Don't know for sure Chrys, but I'm sure I read somewhere you could retain the line rental with BT and still get Sky BB but I dont know if this applies to Fibre.

You thinking of dipping your toe in the dark side

Mick Fisher · 08-06-2013, 13:50

I was told sky talk was a requirement to recieve sky broadband, fibre or otherwise.

Since I was looking to dump BT and sky talk was cheaper, accepting the deal was a no brainer.

Qtx · 15-06-2013, 16:25

Unplugged the Fibre modem by mistake last night, slightly higher latency when it reconnected and back on 94. range

Hope it negotiates its way back down although saying that, ping tests are still showing the same as before even with the TBB graph showing 1 or 2 ms increase.

My level of expectations have raised drasticly since leaving Virgin

Still pine for my slimmer green line though, in an ocd kinda way!
