Sky Broadband Connect - Good, Bad or Ugly ?


[link to this post] 		 
I am a simple person. All I want from a BB ISP is a service where I can browse at say
3 Mbps and P2P at 4Mbps.

My ADSL router syncs at a rock steady 8Mbps (8128) every day, every hour.

Anybody here on Connect ? ( I will not get Sky BB for at least a year).

What are you speed tests (Sky Broadband Connect) on this site's speed checker and what speed do you get P2P at various times of the day ?

I would be happy with a 40GB cap, there is only so much CSI out there !

My existing ISP is rubbish and it takes a day to download 1 x 45 minute episode of CSI !
20 KBs for most of the day, 70 KBs in the early hours. (Bittorrent).

P2P is shaped on Connect.

Zen is unshaped however.

No-one forgot to shape anything, if you're on connect you're shaped.

Doesn't mean speed will be super low all the time
