Re: New Flat - New Broadband, What speeds?


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
Connection Speed 14328 kbps 948 kbps

Line Attenuation 29.5 dB 16.3 dB

Noise Margin 7.8 dB 8.0 dB

Connection Time 54:31:43

However why am I only getting Download Speed: 12337 kbps (1542.1 KB/sec ) as a download, should i not get near 14000 kbps?, is there any chance of asking sky for a speed increase after this 10day period which ends today?

With Sky your connection speed is not set in stone, e.g. if the line gets worse and it was set in stone then if the line degraded at all you would get nothing.

So this may explain why you are seeing slightly varying speeds, ADSL2+ over a phone line is not a fixed speed product, it will vary according to the conditions at that time of day.

You will normally only get around 88% of the sync speed, because this speed is for carrying ATM data, which means every 48 bytes of IP data require 53 of ATM data. The internet is IP based.
