Speeds should ramp up well before the 27th

Great! I wasn't sure how that works so thanks for that information, MrSaffron.

With regards to ukhardy07's post. I was aware of how important it is to keep the router on in the first 10 days. That's no problem for me however, I've never been in the habit of switching my router off. Even since the days of Pipex in around 2007 I've been leaving my routers on.

Thanks MrSaffron and ukhardy07 for your replies today,

i went live yesterday - must say so far im impressed with sky . everything went smooth for re activated line which they only charged me the £10 setup .

6 months free calls and bb is a bargin imo . dlm on my line . It changed to 6 meg yesterday night and been stable all day (previously had 22 meg with be*)

Line Attenuation
d/s 16.5 dB
up 10.8 dB

Noise Margin

up 15.9 dB

thanks

Just woke up and tested the connection. Currently about 5.1 down and 0.7 up. Up time according to the router is about 4 hours.

The stats...

Downstream: 6142 kbps
Upstream: 797 kbps
Line Attenuation: 18.0 dB/11.7 dB
Noise Margin: 16.4 dB/15.8 dB

I have a couple of questions. Is DLM going well? Am I on track for the sync speeds suggested in previous posts?

Thanks,
Xplosion

What speeds should I expect tomorrow?

Thanks,

I also am a happy Sky User, 17mb here solid. I didn`t wait for DLM to finish as I wanted to go a Gamer Profile..

Looking at their FTTC product now as I hammer the ADSL connection with Netflix etc and not a moan from them

You wont regret being with them.

You're right, not a single regret so far. The changeover has gone swimmingly. Stayed with Plusnet for a while only because I had heard horror stories about the big boys (BT, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky, Orange) but I guess it's just the fact they have more customers, therefore more publicity.

Just for reference stats are still as they were when I woke up but should change in a few hours I hope.

Thanks all,

sky FTTC is having problems with throughput speed currently i would not jump into them right now.

Ok, thanks but I don't have an FTTC date in sight

So it's now day 3 and it's overtaken my Plusnet connection. I'm getting an actual download speed of around 7.8 Meg and an actual upload speed of pretty much 1.0 Meg.

Speedtest.net Result

My stats...

Downstream: 9215 kbps
Upstream: 1112 kbps
Line Attenuation: 18.5 dB/7.2 dB
Noise Margin: 14.9 dB/9.1 dB

Is my actual download speed still in line with my Downstream sync?

Thanks,
Xplosion

Speeds have been consistent all day. Had a chance to have a go at some torrents. Very fast indeed.
