What speed can I expect to get on MAX?


[link to this post]
 
I am looking at getting the Sky MAX 16mb line and I was wondering what sort of speed I may get,
currently I am on a 2MB Internet and I am getting the following:

Down Stream Upstream
Connection 2272kbps 288kbps
Line Atenuation 21db 5.5db
Noise Margin 28db 30db

I am sorry if there is a calculator some where but I can't find one.
Also has anyone found out what the useage limits are or has had any one recieved a letter compaling about usage?

Thanks Will

Hi Will..

Unfortunately I would not know what you would get if you transferred over to Sky, as I presume these figures are with your present ISP. I am a new user at sky, get actiivated on the 30th.

My presnt figures/stats are:

Line Mode G.DMT Line State Show Time
Latency Type Interleave Line Up Time 01:19:30:27
Line Coding Trellis On Line Up Count 2
Statistics Downstream Upstream
Line Rate 5408 Kbps 448 Kbps
Noise Margin 15.3 dB 22.0 dB
Line Attenuation 42.0 dB 21.5 dB
Output Power 19.8 dBm 12.1 dBm

I have no idea what i will get when I transfer to Sky, if its about the same I will be happy, speed and the ADSL2 thing, fo r me anyway, is not such a big issue. As long as I am do not get a terrible low upload/download speed (fingers crossed!)

As far as download limits concerned, I called Sky to ask .. as at moment I have a 50 Gig fixed allowance..and wanted to know if this would be deemed as "excessive" in there eyes, the guy I spoke to said, no, 50Gig is not excessive per month. I ahve read (somewhere on this or another forum..) some Sky Max customers dwonloading 100Gig + with no probelms or hassle, or infringeing the Sky "fair usage policy"... suppose its all down to common sense really.. if your expecting to download 200+ Gig per month, then maybe Sky will be straight onto you..

Sorry no real definite answers, but tought it may help. I am sure a more technical minded member will answer your connection question..

madasafish to Sky, lets see how it goes!!

You would get the full 16Mb on sky max, which is unlimited - there's no usage limit.
