The repeatability makes this seems like suspicious behaviour.

Could be traffic management kicking in perhaps.

Sky do not do traffic management if you mean throttling and such.

If I were cynical, I'd say it looks like someone is doing traffic management, but in a fashion that they hope to be undetectable to people running speedtests.

How accurate is "the hour" thing? Do you see slowdowns with 55 minute intervals, but not at 60 minutes?

I said in a previous post i am not sure on the time frame between tests going back to full speed. However if Sky were doing this on purpose it is not very sneaky of them at all. It can kick in after just 1 speed test or a 1-2 minute max speed download. I can't see it being throttling or we would see a lot more people complaining.

Saying stuff like "why does my download speed drop to 40meg every time i do large downloads or multiple speed tests?"

I am going to wait it out a while and see what happens. Unbelievably that tiny increase actually helps Youtube 4K HDR vids on my 4K TV start at 4K HDR straight away.

It seems Youtube 4K likes 42meg better than 40meg. After just one youtube vid i am back down to 40meg again tho.

My line has remained synced as it was when i rebooted earlier yesterday.

Connection Speed 46211 kbps 10165 kbps
Line Attenuation 21.8 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 6.4 dB 6.6 dB

connection up time 20 hours 13 minutes at time of writing this.

OK now i am really annoyed. For the 2nd time in 3 years i have a crossed line. Since the FTTC change we are hearing other people talk on our phoneline there conversations etc and some of them if not all can hear us too.

This is the 2nd time my line has had a crossed line and it seems the upgrade to Sky fibre pro has made it re occur.

Why has my line always been so bad. Everything has been done to it that can be done including new master socket. I just seem to get insanely bad luck with broadband.

Currently the fibre is still doing what it was yesterday synced at 46meg but switching between sync speed and a seemingly artificial 40meg cap. At the same time now i have a crossed line with more than one other house hold for the 2nd time in 3 years.

Not happy at all.

Not good at all .

New sync by itself around 5am while i was asleep.

Connection Speed 46497 kbps 10122 kbps
Line Attenuation 21.8 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 6.4 dB 6.6 dB

So far after 2 speed tests in a row..

Getting sync speed again. FTTC seems unaffected by almost un usable voice line currently

What's wrong with the voice line?

The voice line problem ought to be reported as a fault in its own right. I can't imagine how an FTTC speed uplift (which just involves some parameter and config changes to the VDSL settings) could cause problems with crossed lines. However, I can see how a line fault could cause issues with FTTC, although if the wiring issue is after the splitter in the VDSL cab it could leave BB unaffected.

By "after", I assume you mean E-side? I think most people would read it as D-side .

That's how I read it. To me "after" the splitter is D-Side, "before" is E-Side. The line originates from the exchange, not my property

I'm also confused as to how upgrading from 40/10 to 80/20 has introduced voices on the line. Nothing physical needs touched to perform the upgrade, so no new crossed wires. It's a click of a mouse upgrade.

In context, "after" is after the BB part which stops at the cabinet filter. I was also talking in context of the customer. The is surely no definitive direction "after" or "before" other than the perspective that is being used. I would also suggest it would be inaccurate to call it E side if the problem is in the tie cable connections, either at the FTTC cabinet or the PCP. The "E" side is normally the cable from the PCP to the Exchange.
