That's the data the modem would report. It's your actual sync

Definitely strange, get in touch with sky

But don't forget to power on and off the ROUTER to update this information. Don't touch the MODEM.

Why strange? Points to possibly routing out of Sky being an issue, or their is a lot of variability which speed test manages out by reporting the burst speed

But there are ALSO quite a few reports (see SkyUser) of people who have been misprovisioned on some hidden BRAS or similar with half speed profiles. Sync at 40meg, downloads at 22.

But then there are all the typical problems:
* Congestion
* Misconfigured computer
* Security software
* Slow PC
* Poor network card
* using wireless

(Interestingly I've just used this sites flash tester on 2.4Ghz and I get 22meg, and on a borrowed 5Ghz router I get 42meg - and on ethernet 43meg!)

You can't easily change the router on Sky Fibre unless you have a Draytek or Billion with the special firmware.

Leave the modem on and don't touch it until 2 days after your install.
