Re: 10 reasons to avoid Sky


[re: 4M2] [link to this post]
 
Sky has to be the fastest ADSL LLU provider i have witnessed even faster than 02 and BE.

A friend was on AOL UK and when they sold out to Carphone warehouse his connection halfed and they reckoned that was all his line could handle was around 3mb.

He switched to Sky LLU and hes getting an almost constant 11mb download now.

AMD FX-4100 X4, MSI 990FXA-GD80, 16GB DDR 3 Cosair Vengence 1600Mhz, 9351.1GB Hard Disk Space, 2GB ATI 6670 HD PCI-E 16x Graphics, 850watt PSU.

Ex Freedom2Surf 512k and Ex Eclipse Internet 2mb Customer.

Sky run their DSL for stability not raw speed. They tend to be slightly slower than some other operators due to use of error correction and noise mitigation to ensure lines resync as infrequently as possible.

All of the Sky routers baring the first ever white one have been really decent. You can really set and forget them without any issues what-so-ever. The range was pretty poor on the Pre-N routers though (the first one being an exception, it had okay WiFi but was terribly unstable until a few firmware upgrades).

In reply to a post by pcoventry76:
I seem to be having some PL issues on my line - Not sure why.

On that graph I think the red occurs when your line is maxed out - and its not unusual for a maxed out line (downloading something?) to stop responding to pings from the outside. BQM can only see that as PL.
