Fibre ISP's *DELETED*

Post deleted by MrSaffron

Recently moved to Sky fibre on their lowest offering. Got a 40mb sych with wireless speed tests of 37mb consistently on the Sandy exchange. Free installation here, as well as the 6 months half price offer.

Been on Sky Fibre 40/10 since April 2012 (well it was 40/2 back then, but it became 40/10 not log after!)

Steady d/l just under 38Mbps and u/l about 9Mbps, ping averages about 9ms (all according to Samknows Whitebox reports). About 300m from cabinet. Very happy with it.

In reply to a post by snowy44:

I currently have BT and have been having issues with slow speeds during the evenings. I just wanted to know if anyone on here is using either TalkTalk or Sky for Fibre broadband if so what are there experiences of it?

If you're testing the speed with a wireless connection it could be the wireless slowing down as your neighbours start using their wireless connections.

I'm BT Infinity and get about 46megabit download, all the time on wired connection. On standard (2.4 GHz) wireless I get 40 or so during the day, and Saturday evenings can get 10meg - but plug an ethernet cable into the router and my laptop and back up to 46.

As long as it supports "MER with DHCP Option 61" it will work with Sky fibre. I think for the Asus RT-AC66U you need to flash it with the "Asuswrt-Merlin" firmware to get it to work.

I used to use a Billion 8200N which has beta firmware that works with Sky Fibre but has sync problems with ECI MSAN's. I'm now using a home-built router running pfSense.
