How Fast is your Internet?

[stevieb]

so after a complete fucking nightmare with a "simple" sky installation I ended up talking to their technical department and after explaining to them _how_ ADSL works including line noise, line length and attenuation they finally put my sync speed at something sensible ... So it will fluctuate over the next few days .. but ....



lets hope it sits tidy now on that, and I will be a happy bunny.

I keep wondering whether to have a moan about mine.



It did used to be about 16Mb when first set up, but the speed and sync speed seemed to have gradually dropped over time.

what does it say on their site you should be getting? mine is 12.9 - 19 .. but pointed out that I can spit on the exchange so got them to set the line sync up @ their upper limit, which also goes to show that it would handle more but its a limit by sky who needs 21cn \/

Estimated Access Line Speed: 11.2Mbps - 18.0Mbps



Less than 1km from the exchange I think on quite a new line.

29.5db! hells bells that is 2.1km from the exchange .. or a really shitty line lol.

you should have a consistent 16mb - 16.5mb down so a sync of 17mb-17.5mb would suffice.

unless they have seriously oversold on the contention ratio, which _could_ explain it .

You would be amazed at how many people always think larger is better.

You could well have been serious.

you are either 4/5km from the exchange ....
your router is plugged into an extension socket which isn't wired very well.
or you have a serious amount of phones/bits plugged into the 'other' sockets.

failing that you just have a really really shit line :P
