I went over from BT line + calls and O2 broadband, to all everything with Sky. I saved about £8 a month (but that is a side issue).
I went 'live' yesterday, 16-06-11. Out of interest I did do a speed check the other day with O2 (have been a very good service generally), a check yesterday shortly after I turned everything on and one today to see how things are going. Readings below. Seem to be OK so far! And the transfer all went very smoothly.
Regards,

Out of interest can anyone let me know if the following is OK for what I'm getting please? (taken from the router) and is there any chance the upload speed will get better? Or just wait till it settles down fully?

Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed: 14938 kbps 1108 kbps

Noise Margin: 7.3 dB 9.0 dB

Just rang sky to try and improve my line and spoke to someone who didn't have a clue, is there a way to speak to someone with some knowledge?.
