I don't know anything about the Sky half-speed problem, but the tbb speed test uses a non-standard port. Maybe on that port there is no issue smile

Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 54.2/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

If you can get full speed on one speed test but not on another then it's possibly congestion on Sky's network. This is a symptom of what happens when they have problems.

Try again at 7am, if you can get full speed from most speedtest.net servers (as an example) then congestion is the problem.

We use two ports

Socket over TCP 8095 and pure HTTP over port 80 too these days.

Thanks, I will try some tests early tomorrow morning .

on Sky adsl I never once experienced any speed drop offs, even during peak times. My connection ran at 16 meg at all times

I have opened a help ticket over at sky but reading all the half speed threads over there it seems to a problem that sky know about but are unsure how to fix it
