I'm just looking at moving in to a property with a Sky line already. I managed to get the details to the online login as it currently has ADSL and says that Sky fibre is available but only to 40Mb, BT checker for the area indicates 80Mb should be available.
Do I need to call them to double check this or get a faster speed?

It's probably on Sky Fibre Unlimited, you'll need to call them to upgrade to Fibre Max if you want the 80Mbps speed.
This is really risky. Router web interface vulnerabilities are very common.

Thats brilliant for us then. i'll have a look Monday.
Hi all,
We just moved, Installed & activated Sky fibre max 3 days ago my package on broadband should be 75meg.
At the present moment max download is 20~25 meg.
It stated that it takes first 10 days to settle.
Is this normal or should I call wait or call sky?
Thanks in advance

How are you measuring the download? Via a speed test or looking at the sync speeds in the sky hub maintenance page?

Where did you get the 75meg figure from?
Have you tried the master socket test port?
Are you connected to the router with a cable?

As it says the speed it 'up to' 75meg. To get 75meg you have to be very close to the street cabinet. The further you are away the slower it will be.
Did Sky tell you that you'd be getting 75meg? You can use the BT checker here https://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ to see what the expected connection should be. Use your address/postcode if it doesn't recognise your Sky phone number.
If you're line really is underperforming that badly it's worth using the test socket. It's a basic error checking step.
If that doesn't help report it. There isn't a 10 day learning period on FTTC so there's no point waiting.
(Actually there is a period of training, but the connection will start high and keep dropping until it gets stable.)

Is it good or bad?

Yes, ninjah. That's bad. You should double check this page
https://secure.sky.com/my-broadband
and see what it says is your download speed range. You're on about 25Mbps there.
