Hi guys, so my Sky Fibre Pro goes live tomorrow, I currently have the stock Sky SR102 hub but don't have great expectations. I'm estimated to achieve between 60-70mb being approx. 350-400m away from my cab.
I'm planning ahead and wonder if it's worth investing in a OR modem, specifically the HG612 as it's Huawei-based (my local PCP is Huawei)? I've always read online it seems to achieve a higher sync and more importantly a stable line, to go with the same modem/chipset as your PCP if you can.
Although my line was brand new and only laid 4-5 months ago (new build) and is of fantastic quality, I was only estimated to get 3-4mb speeds but can hold 6.5-7mb for weeks on end without a re-sync. I've also already fitted a Mk3 VDSL faceplate which no doubt helps.
Here are my sync stats, speed test and ping times, with lots of packet loss! I'll post up an update tomorrow once Fibre goes live!
