I have these stats currently:
Down Up
SNR (dB): 11.9 20.0
Attn(dB): 53.0 28.9
Pwr(dBm): 0.0 9.7
Max(Kbps): 4104 516
Rate (Kbps): 3068 412
These are down from when I first got Sky BB a couple of years ago. Do I need to contact Sky to get them to do something to make it sync faster?
As an experiment I got a Belkin G+ MIMO ADSL router (which is where those stats are from) and it got the same as the Sky DG834.
If anyone is interested in the F5D9630 from Belkin, I can recommend it from what I've seen so far. It has made my laptop downstairs usable on WiFi where before it was not at all. The MIMO G+ seems to work really well at extending the range of bog standard 802.11g devices so far, although I've not tried it yet with a MIMO G+ receiver (there was a USB dongle in the box for that).
Anyway, I digress. Is there some way to force it to try harder, faster speeds from my end or do I need to contact SKY, and would that be by email, phone, or an RFC1149 compliant message? And is there a recommendation on how to phrase such a request?
Thanks!
