It seems quite obvious to me sky use this proxy profiling system to
1, save on providing good tech support
2, ease the strain on it's network
As an ex ukonline customer that used the easynet network,which used similar equipment to some of sky's, such as those currently on SMPF ( adsl only) will quiet possibly be connected to an old easynet dsam, the very same kit as us ukonline customers where connected to
the easynet network does support upto 22mbits downstream , sky limit this to 20mbit or less, and although sky advertise an upto of 1.3mbits upstream on the new kit maybe, but on the easynet stuff, i think the max was around 1.2mbits or that was some technical limit set by easynet
but with ukonline there was no DLM,their support would provide custom profiles on request, and they also provided fastpath,we had to pay more but imo it was worth it

Yea they did manual do it from 828 to 910 but also say it wont go any higher i did run DMZ tools (on belkin router not sky one) and this confirms it is about the max it can handle so oh well lol better than nothing.

hmm just pluged my belkin router in again and its gone up a tab bit slightly again lol


Downstream Upstream

Data Rate(Kbps)
11293 932
Noise margin (dB)
7.0 8.6

oddly enough my Attenuation always gos up with the belkin as well from 37.5 to 39.5 i think this is just a glitch on the belkin though

just used DMT tools (with the belkin router) and squeezed a little more out of it. It seams a good tool just goes to show if sky supported lower SNRs they could give u a better speed.

before DMT
Downstream Upstream

Data Rate(Kbps)

After DMT
