Connected Today...!

Hi,
my first post as a Sky user! My broadband was delivered bang on time, and it seems to be great! I picked the �10 unlimited option and here are my router stats:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2784 kbps 768 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 db 31.5 db
Noise Margin 7.7 db 11.0 db

Cos my upstream is 768k I presume I am on ADSL2+ yes? Is there any other way of checking I am on ADSL2+?

you can get that upload speed on adsl1

When I was on ADSL1 I got 768 Kbps upload - when I changed to ADSL2+ I got 764 Kbps

With your figures you are not going to see much improvement on ADSL2+

There is a way to see your router stats at a lower level which will show you whether you are on ADSL2+ or not but I cannot remeber how to do it on the Netgear router. On my Belkin my connection type changed from G.dmt to ADSL2+

I'm on ADSL2+ and get 768 - so it might be localised differences in the way the dslams are setup. I'm afraid I don't know what the Netgear commands are either

I have just connected up my old speedtouch 585 v6. It shows my connection as: "Modulation: G.992.1 annex A" - which is plain adsl1 I believe. How do I get changed to 992.5, adsl2+?

If you ring tier-3 they can change it. But you won't see any improvement with that attenuation

You call Sky and tell them, but it might be difficult to get them to change you over. Also judging by your line stats, you may not benefit much if at all...

snap!

You're too fast

I know it aint gonna go any faster, I just want what I am paying for, as you do...
ps: any telephone no's for tier 3?
