Sky Fibre Optic

I think it was the same as where I am now, so would be about 23dB. SnR was around 8dB I think. I was less than 200m from the green box though.

Broadband Link Downstream Upstream

Been having a lot of disconnections recently, had openreach out a couple of weeks ago who could obviously find no fault, but reset my profile at the time and I was stable for about 12 hours. then it started disconnecting again. Worked from home one day last week and had it disconnecting every 30 minutes to an hour.

Only able to arrange a BT engineer for tomorrow due to work commitments and they better fix it this time as I went from the quoted very stable connection to one that is hit and miss and now showing:

Broadband Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 27397 kbps 5000 kbps
Line Attenuation 17.3 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 19.8 dB 20.20 dB
 
Is there anyway of checking what speed you can get as the BT tracker doesn't work with Sky lines, thanks. I Just want to know if the 40mb is not the best I can get.
 
BT have been, no obvious fault shown, but he did terminate my incoming connection to the master socket.

Now getting
Broadband Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 39997 kbps 9997 kbps
Line Attenuation 17.1 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 11.8 dB 14.14 dB

Stable since he left but then that was only an hour ago.

You can put your address in or if you have a close neighbour who's on BT, you can put their phone number in. I did that with my next door neighbour and her speed was what I got. (Actually a bit more!)
 
I got connected to Sky Fibre Today.

Connection Speed 39973 - 7256
Line Att 26.4 db
Noise Margin 7.7 db

Can anybody estimate if its worth upgrading to Pro?
Thanks

Finally after 6 months of the cabinet not having enough capacity we are getting fibre pro on the 8th. What is the sky router like with higher speeds (previously had 5Mbs) is it worth me getting my asus router from my parents?

The Standard one is reliable enough but the N 150Mbps isn't great.

Get the new Sky Q Router if you can Mike. Has Gigabit ports and AC Wifi.
