Re: New Sky connection, what speed can I expect?

I don't! It was a good move when Sky opened their broadband up to non-TV customers, but I suppose it was inevitable after they shut down UK Online.

Re: New Sky connection, what speed can I expect?


[re: Oliver341] [link to this post]
 
HI All, rather than start a new thread, I'd thought I'd add to this one, I'm also a new subscriber and my line is settling in.

My stats started at:
2083/605
64/41db
7.4/12.5

As of Today:
1817/777
64/41db
7.5/7.2

The Sky My Account Page says there is no line testing, but I'm day 3 new...

Assume it is testing since the uplink went from 12.5 down to 7.2 and it did it around 0200 last night.

My big question is this, I installed an iPlate and also a dedicated commtel dsl/phone filter plate to get the maximum out of my connection. Whilst I'm in the 10 day bedding-in period, can I move the box around, particularly attaching to the Master Socket to check my line stats without screwing up the BT tests? I want to be certain my in-honme wiring isn't a problem for the high 64db downlink attenuation and would move the modem to the master plate if it yielded big results, of course my so will complain but if I can show her a big improvement I can get it done.

So basically, will making a couple moves and tests screw things up? Is there a safe way to disconnect without having the BT tests think my line is unstable?

Thanks!
