Based on your stats today you were lucky to get 6.3, your current speed is the best you can get from your line at the moment, there is no "spare noise margin" to allow a speed increase.

And is this data from the test socket? Always worth trying to see if it will go faster

I tried it in the test socket when i was on the phone to them and it was the same whats enoying me is that it was fine syncing at 6.3 and now its 5 after i switched off the router by mistake when it rebooted again it was at 5mg

Are the stats the same from the test socket, not just the speed? It could be the line is capped at 5Mbps but has additional noise margin in the test socket.

sky say my top speed is 5mg but before i switched off my router it was working fine at over 6mg

It's went from this after my 10 day test period

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

Its the same in the test socket .The fault has been raised to custormer solutions team so here's hoping

It concerns me that the up times are only around an hour and 20 hours respectively

Sky needs around 72 hours before its happy to increase the speed generally

Turning it off so often & not even giving it over a day is going to screw up your line speed (as you found out)

Plug it in & don't unplug it from now onwards
You need to get that right before sky reset DLM etc
