Post by: Agreeable Slick on 25 October 2011, 18:09: I'm not even going to bother as it's 1.5Mb/s at best.

I've just fired off a email to Sky to get them to manually profile my line to get a better speed. Otherwise, I'm looking at FTTC supplier, although digital region is expensive and not sure how good it really is.

This made me larf

straight out of the modem

i was convinced the belkin router was slowing me down, but it looks like it makes no difference (granted xbox is off and downstairs laptop is off)

i will try again out of peak hours to see if it improves, i cant remember if im supposed to be on 10 or 20meg, im happy with my results

What did you do? I'm with talktalk and have the router they provided, a D-Link DSL2640R.

Yesterday we renewed a 12 month contract with them though, they're sending out a new "N" wireless router and they slashed £10 off the monthly bill with the same boosts we already had :smiley: :smiley:
Title: Re: Your Internet connection
Post by: Wazzzer on 25 October 2011, 18:28: I wouldn't recommend doing it while the router is in warranty as changing the software will void it...

but all I did was find the software on the net (d-link website mainly) for the router and try each one out.

Wire connection, but there's a wireless laptop streaming a movie downstairs so not too bad.

We will see what happens with the new router from talk talk, maybe a small increase as the connection is rather up to 24mb and I'm only about half a mile from the exchange.

Gotta say internet gaming is great with talktalk. I've heard so many bad things about them but I can't really complain over the last 3 years we've been with them. Connection is always great, not much difference in internet speed between peak and off peak hours and my ping online gaming is always among the lowest on the servers.

I say never but 1st was a problem with the initial set up of my line on their side, 2nd I thought I had a problem with the line, turned out to be dodgy network cabling. Not bad for being with them since 2003ish

Go register on http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/ - and have a poke around in the Sky forums. The guys on there REALLY know their stuff and will help you isolate the issue.

Slow ADSL can be down to a bunch of different things, a lot of which, are well in your own control.

HSPA+ gets up to 21Mb/s - real world usage you would hardly get that sort of speed because their networks are so clogged up.
Technically it's 3.5G, though in America some mobile networks started calling it 4G.

Asymmetric digital subscriber line basically means its faster in one direction,hence download of 8mbs and upload of 0.48,ask your service provider if your exchange has been upgraded to 21cn which means they have put the new ADSL 2 equipment in the exchange which is capable of upto 24Mbps download and 1Mbps upload.It should not cost anymore but they will probably want you to,sign a new contract.

B.T is a very large company and sky should not really be saying things like that :lipsrsealed:,it depends if your local exchange and more importantly the network near you has been upgraded to fibre.There are two types of fibre broadband,fibre to premises and fibre to cab,the first is when the fibre is laid from the exchange all the way into your house and the second is when the fibre has been run from the exchange to a new cabinet next to the orginal copper network cabinet,in this new cabinet is the DSLAM (puts broadband on your line) the broadband is then connected from the new cabinet to the orginal copper cabinet and is fed down the orginal copper network to your house.
Fibre to cabinet (fttc) is a lot more straight forward in terms of installation than fibre to premises (fttp). some places are getting FTTC some are getting FTTP some are getting neither in the near future.

Did they give you a reason for cancelling your appointment ? openreach dont normally just cancel appointments is there even fibre in your area ?did your service provider even make a appointment ?

A survey is normally carried out on complex jobs where there is no line plant,not on new build houses, 99.9% of install tasks dont get surveyed because the engineer can sort out most problems on the day as long as there is line plant at the location for the engineer to connect to.If your house is a new build connected to a u.g (underground) network is should be fairly straightforward. :smiley:

You dont need a survey if its a new estate and the line plane was put in by the builders its all done by the postcode,the computer will match your postcode to the local line plant.

I had to ring up to find out, no one called me. Sky made the appointment through their BT system, and BT responded to say the appointment was cancelled.

Sky have rung BT three times now and keep getting fobbed off with the same responses.

Your service provider should have rang you to tell you it had been cancelled if ever made,openreach are VERY busy at the moment but even so they rarely cancel a appointment, so if the appointment was never made you will have to wait for some time.I have lost count of the times i have turned up at a end users address to install or fault their line to find no one home and when you manage to contact them they all ways say "no one told me i had a appointment" its your service provider who should keep you upto date

He didn't now anything about having ordered Fibre, so it's another call to Sky tomorrow when I have time. Better than nothing though!!

Result :cool:

Just got to wait over a month for the install on 16th Jan and put up with shoddy Edge speeds with a chance of 3G/HSPA until then :sad:

I'm with talktalk and have been for a number of years. I called yesterday about increases to the bill and was told that the contract was renewed for another 12 months...My mum, which the account is under her name knew nothing about this, so just waiting for her to come back from Malta so we can cancel this contract renewal talktalk thought they'd do without our permission and then discuss fibre optic. Hopefully because of this cock up they've done we can get a good deal on the fibre optic, but not sure whether to go for the medium or the large option...

Guess the second half is to then connect it at the BT floor box on the street to the exchange. The equipment (BT Home Hub 3 Black, BT Infinity Home Hub 3.0 Welcome Pack) is due to arrive next Thursday and the final part of the install on Monday 17th. Hopefully I can keep the equipment in the cupboard out of sight and kids reach. Glad I've got free reign of the internet at work so I can get my daily fix of mind numbing crap :grin:

My company is a provider on Speedtest and the minimum requirement is only a 100Mb connection :)

The bandwidth costs alone just for participating are massive. It consumes around 400GB of bandwidth per week, and 95th %ile billing goes out the window with speedtests due to the very nature. You end up paying for 100Mb/100Mb (~£600 per month) just for threads like this :(

There isn't a chance we'd put it on a 1Gb bearer ...
