Woah seems like there is something really wrong there mate. Are you on a wired connection to your pc? Seems like maybe your n router is faulty ask sky to ship you a new one

done both wired and wireless connections and both returned the same results. Things are improving now or maybe not but still not the 69Mbps I was quoted :eek:

The Deuce: Can you try the Massey server in France. I appreciate it's further but think it has more bandwidth. Post up the result please.

KIA · 12 Jun 2012 at 13:08

Using a single speed test server won't help.

The Deuce · 12 Jun 2012 at 13:24

Massy Test

London

Amsterdam

You get the picture :rolleyes:

Well mate, I think you need to contact BT Openreach and have the engineer come down to see if there are any issues on your connection. Seems like there is something iffy.. you have exhausted all avenues too.

Make a post in the skyforum, ring Helpdesk, and ask them to put you through to the fiber team and they will send an engineer out in a week or so. Its not fair you've had to put up with this.

Going to get this I think. Only got the sky ultd package ATM and get 3mbs which isn't great. Hopefully fibre will be a lot better!!!

Yaayuh! · 12 Jun 2012 at 14:26

Still can't get Fibre

grrrr. My exchange has been upgraded for a while and many places where i live can get BT infinity.
The problem i think is that i live VERY close to the exchange (14-16 down 0.65 up ADSL2), they probably haven't bothered with the cabinets so close yet?

dlockers · 12 Jun 2012 at 14:39

Go to thinkbroadband and download the test files.

Speedtest is irrelevent

I doubt they'll do anything. 35Mb/s is way above the guaranteed rate.

You might be on an exchange-only line without a cabinet.

KIA, mate he is on Fibre Pro Ultmited - so it should be 80mb/U20mb

So he is only getting 1/2 his potential bandwidth, he was advised he would get 60mm+

It's an "up to" X megabits product.

I was told if my speed was below 35mb then I have the right to cancel within 3 months, gonna see if it settles down any as I've had it downloading at over 6000KB/sec

waspy88 · 12 Jun 2012 at 16:59

6MB/s sounds good mate

I think thats around 50Mb/s

dcsarge · 12 Jun 2012 at 17:10

I had high hopes of being able to switch to Sky Fibre soon, as Openreach have been very busy around here. Unfortunately they have done all the cabinets around me apart from the one I am connected to and one further down the road from that.

ok so i hacked my BTO modem to see the attainable rate before I pulled the trigger on fibre pro and its says 44mb, I'm getting 39997 sync now, wonder why its so low, deffo not worth going for pro i take it?

You're probably a reasonable distance from the cab.
