Connected and Happy, but...

I got connected to Sky Max, Happy with the speed, ping is a little high but early days yet.

I don't like the modem they supplied, it's not very feature rich and I don't like the Sky logo on everything... on the unit it's self and on the router login ect...

If I used my own modem would they cut me off?

Also is there anyway of making my ping better?

I used to get 12 - 35 ping in this game server, now it's 60>

Thanks,
Jack

You can phone Sky and ask them to reduce the interleaving on your line to improve the ping.

As for using your own router - the official line is "No", but I've been using my own router for over a year (since day 1), and I've yet to receive a rap across the knuckles ! If you decide to do this, it's best to keep the Sky router, should you ever have line problems, because that's when Sky might notice

Thanks for the response, Very helpful!

60ms pings!!

Now this doesnt sound very good at all!
