Sky Fibre Optic

For those getting a 7ms ping to the BBC... Where are you located? I've just got Sky FTTC installed today and my pings are 14ms!

I get 6ms pings to the BBC from Epping in Essex. If you are interleaved your pings will be a bit higher - is your modem unlocked so you can see the interleaving status?
 
Nope it's only just been installed today so it has to stay on for 10 days for the 'training period'.

I am in the North West so that could explain a slightly higher ping to the BBC.. I hope I'm not interleaved already after only having it for 4 hours :p

The 10 day training thing is a myth for FTTC - one disconnection to unlock the modem won't do any harm.

I guess I'll just have to live with an extra 4ms :p

On my second day now and still getting max speeds - 38Mb on ethernet. I don't use ethernet though as I only have a MacBook and only getting 26Mb via wifi...but I guess I can live with that!
 
Well I couldn't resist it and got the Fibre Pro upgrade. Over the moon with the speed I'm getting now!

Got sky fibre installed today and speeds seem ok, any ideas why my ping so poor?

I take it sky are still one of the best for FTTC? Im currently on Sky ADSL and getting 6mb :( and sky think I should get around 26mb on fibre which is huge compared to 6mb!

I have a couple of questions..

How long is the current wait for this to be installed?
What kind of upload speeds should I expect?
Would you recommend Sky Fibre?

Thanks :)
