Sky BB sync speeds

LateX'Dog · 18 Aug 2012 at 08:46

Currently going through the settling in phase and i'm currently syncing at:

Code:

Connection Speed:

Downstream 12287 kbps, Upstream 1080 kbps

Line Attenuation:

Downstream 27.0 dB, Upstream 16.5 dB

Noise Margin: 

Downstream 7.2 dB, Upstream 8.3 dB

Will they improve much more then this do you think?

If not, could i squeeze anything more out of my line?

BT estimated 17mb on my line, so i don't see a reason why Sky couldn't achieve this.

You have quite low attenuation (27dB) and your speeds should definitely go higher. I would expect around 17-20Mb speeds on your line once the training period is over.

How far in the training period are you?

Around 4-6 days.

Can still go higher then. Might need to call sky to get it though.

Last couple of days its been flirting between 6.5 and 5.0 noise margin.

Speeds are hanging at 15694kbps.

Connection Speed:

Downstream: 15694kbps

Up: 1150kbps

Line Attenuation:

Downstream: 27.0 dB

Up: 16.5 dB

Noise Margin:

Downstream: 6.3 dB

Up: 8.2 dB

That's more like it. Though be careful the noise margin doesn't go lower than that, you'll start to get instability on the line.

So is this the best you think i'll get?

I would say so, but that doesn't mean that the noise margin will stay there. Mine didn't settle for at least 2 weeks, in which the line was unstable a couple of times whilst they were finding the sweet spot.
