Anyone know how to check my sync speed in the Asus options? Been looking but just can't seem to find it.
Sky Fibre Optic

Looking at getting this installed when I move into my new flat on 1st August. Been hampered by a 2meg line (live int he middle of nowhere) for the last 10 years. I work for Sky and they're doing a deal for employees at £10 a month! 
What sort of download speeds are people getting on fibre?

I can pull a steady 3.4-3.8MB/s through steam at the moment, but when it was at full speed it was easy 8MB/s and higher, with added headroom to not slow anyone else down.

Haha.It might just be that. My time capsule gives me both IPv4 and v6 info, but I only understand so much. I did a 'whats my IP' check and it said I have one for both.
Anyway, I did a test and it appears it could actually just be the time capsule doing it all, as it mentions about it being '6to4'.
So.. Oops, my mistake.
Doing better than me. I get 0/10.
Would need to turn on the IPv6 options.

Its the DLM from the cabinet. My line has a SNR of about 16dB and attenuation is about 19.5dB, but it's very stable and even more so with the OR Modem and TC. I'm about 150 meters from the cabinet and the cable length could be up to about 250 meters. The cable's to my house are probably ****, so that doesn't help.
It's better than 120KB/s I had before at least.

When you go onto Youtube streaming in 1080p and load it like you did on 240p, it feels good.

I had endless problems with my fiber pro! I was estimated to get around 60mb+ apparently to the engineer myl ine from the cabnit is 180m, and sky have confirmed this. How ever my sync speed on the router was 49mb. And after several speed test there side and mine my line is jumping from 2mb- 35mb. There.are baffled! As it's a brand new line into a brand new house.. so what I have been told is new line being installed. ... wooop!

I'm waiting on their response, just like I was the first time. 
The lines have to be ancient around here - installed by those building Hadrians wall..
- but my distance should be giving me a ~76Mb connection according to the OR figures.

Looking to get an Asus for better coverage, can anyone recommend one that is compatible with Sky Fibre please gent?

Any of the WRT ones that take Merlin/Tomato/DD-WRT firmware (something you have to put on the Asus to use with your Openreach modem)

Excellent, thanks

Anyone having packet loss issues this morning on Sky Fibre? Constant ping to anything such as the BBC or Google DNS drops 1 packet every 10 or so.

Quick test on my line this morning:
The pings are noticeably higher than normal, as it's usually around 40ms, highest is usually about 60ms so there must be something wrong. Done with a 2013 MBA and Time Capsule.

Use the command-prompt to ping. Speedtest.net and pingtest.net aren't very reliable.
There's also WinMTR. http://winmtr.net/download-winmtr/
