new to sky migrated from ukonline

Hi all....just gone onto sky unlimited from ukonline
i have been connected for around 67 hours now & i have about 9.8 meg download speed.....will it get any faster with the line stats i have...i used to get 13 meg constantly from ukonline & i'm about half a mile from my exchange...any views would be appreciated

You should end up with the same speed as with UKOnline.

Sky's DLM process runs for 10 days so you've got a bit longer to go. If at the end of the 10 days it's still showing the stats you've posted, give the customer support line a call and they should be able to un-stick the DLM.

i was hoping for a bit more than ukonline cause with this dlink router my line attenuation seems a bit better...used to be 25db downstream with my belkin router & ukonline....now it's showing 17.5db which is a big improvment

You should be getting about 21 Meg Sync, giving about 17.5 Meg throughput.

But you NM is high. Possibly you need to wait for it to settle or you have noisy wiring.

on day 5 now & not much has changed really except the downstream noise margin has gone up for some reason...rang sky customer service only to talk to an idiot who then passed me on to an indian call centre that i could hardly hear....not impressed at all to be honest...latest stats below

Connection Speed 11263 kbps 1012 kbps
Line Attenuation 17.5db 9.9db
Noise Margin 20.6db 7.5db

Ring up again and demand getting the gaming profile. or ask to get the line manually configured as DLM stuck

just talked to a very nice lady at sky tech & she said i had only been activated for 4 days and the line hasn't stablized yet but she made some adjustments & things have improved now....she said leave it now for 10 days & see how it goes...latest stats below

Good stuff, she probably restarted DLM and 'unstuck' it, should climb up more now, still a nice 5dB of margin there to play with
