new speeds now are 30/1, due to get increased shortly to 30/3
then when virgin do the double speed for free thing thats in the news i will be on 60meg down 6 meg up
going from 3.5/~0.5 just to what i am now on 30/1 its almost 10 times the speed
so speed great but downside is virgin do traffic shaping and management which i was aware of before jumping ship but still that speed boost is nice !!!!

Make sure your modem is powered up on Tuesday, as might see if I can watch it being changed, as then have a much better idea of what options are available to support staff.

NOTE: We do meet with other providers too, and have ways of getting things done, so this does not represent favouritism to Sky.

Well if and when my telephone exchange changes over to fibre optic ( and at this rate it wont be in my lifetime ) i dont think ill pay the extra £20 sky are asking for because it just be a waste of money.

i think ive asked this before on here but my router is over 4 years old so do you think that might have something to do with my problem or am i just blowing in the wind with it

Four year old router should be OK, it is pretty much ADSL mode only at that range. Does the device support ADSL2+, if so then ADSL2 mode can give a small boost.

£7.50 a month for 2 Meg like you just about manage now, or £20 a month for what could be the full 40 meg? Mmm I know what I would do.

All i can tell you Andrew is that its a netgear router

In reply to a post by thecarer1:

Well thats what i was told by sky Mr Saffron and skys website says that my line should hold anything between 2.6 and 7mb so who should i believe on this

An estimate is still only an estimate; particularly this wild one. The only thing you can believe is your actual reported attenuation.

Make sure you do any router reboots in daylight hours and take stats immediately.

What ADSL Mode is your router running at, ADSL/G.DMT, ADSL2/G992.3 or ADSL2+/G992.5? Can you tell? What router?

You may be better switching it to ADSL2/G992.3.

XRaySpeX like ive said on here before that im a complete novice when it comes down to this kind of technology so please bear with me

well ive just looked inside the box in which the router was and it says that is a ADSL2+ modem and wireless router and the part number is DG934G

Try running this link: http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bi... and report Mode: if it works (I think it may).

it wont load the page im afraid to say

Ah, OK! I'm mixing it up with the Sky-locked DG834GT.
