Off subject here, but is there any demand for an unlocked huawei modem and HH4. No point in keeping them so was going to put them on gumtree to sell.. Any ideas what their worth second hand????

Modem about 20-40 quid, HH4 about a tenner. Have a look on ebay.

Thanks, will take a look...

I wouldn't expect your speed to remain higher than Infinity. You are connected to the same cabinet and it is the Openreach fibre cabinet that is negotiating the sync speed, nothing to do with Sky. It's probably just because it is a new provide and the DLM has been recalculated.

Slightly less overhead as Sky don't use PPPoE I believe.

Yes, I had an attainable of around 43meg with BT and synched at around 40meg when first installed about two and half years ago. This slowly crept down to 29meg over time due to DLM / crosstalk etc. with sky I now get 40meg again with a snr of 6.5db so I am expecting this to stay around this mark now... Line has been stable for 24hrs now, done a lot of gaming, downloaded maybe 40gig and still going good....
I have taught the wife that the router must not be unplugged at night to which I think was the initial cause of my speed drop!!!!

Do you understand what I'm saying though? Oh a fibre to the cabinet connection your sync speed is nothing to do with Sky!

That's not got anything to do with sync speed. The Openreach DSLAM in the cabinet negotiates the sync speed and they have full control over it. It only passes on to Sky's network at the headend. I'm not talking about throughput.

The SR102 is a modem

Of cause, just nice to see a faster speed now as it had dropped quite a bit over the last two years, probably due to the modem being turned off regularly resulting in DLM thinking the line was unstable...

Nice one, as you say hopefully now it'll be kept on all the time now.

I do hope you don't see any of that dreaded Sky backhaul congestion that I'm seeing an awful lot of now on their fibre connections. Throughput of 20Mb with a sync speed of 40Mb, awful.

That's nothing. At the height of the congestion problem with Sky in my area I was getting 10Kbps download with a 4s pings on a line syncing at 75 Mbps.
