That's kinda odd.
If you think of the fairly low percentage of Sky FTTC customers per cab, in relationship to all the BT Wholesale based ones. The chances of the installer getting it wrong, and by complete fluke getting another set of ties with Sky service on them ..........

They said that Sky has like 5-10 ports in each cab. By chance, two were side by side and one of them was mine. The contractor plugged my cable in to another port. I bet the other person (if they were actually using their connection, I was told their modem had sync so we can assume they were) were hoping their luck would never run out

Isn't it great?

28 Nov - Failed install.
7 Jan - Totally wrong but successful install.
23 Jan - Success. 28 November target achieved. (No real explanation of the 28 November fail ever received).

Are you laughing, or crying?

Both. I'll also be enrolling for a quadruple heart bypass to ease my misery!

I am so pleased for you! You got the install done eventually hehe

The Sky Hub has great range. People complain about it and then spend £120 on a Netgear or something. Turns out the Sky Hub range beats the expensive router so often!!

It's a great bit of kit I've had it plugged in for months on end without a problem. We have 10+ devices usually connected at once too . Never needs a reboot.

Glad the sync speed is good now too. Sky have no control over sync speeds etc without getting an engineer out on fibre unfortunately. So they did the right thing.

Given your luck with Simultaneous Provides, is that wise?

BT will be left out of the loop on this one!
