      So who's keeping pro ?

      Hi, had pro for a while now, and apart from a power cut issue my speeds have been great.

      They have now settled down and hover around 65mb, was quoted 62 so I'm happy. Just wondering if other user are happy with there pro speeds.?

      Iv decided to network my house via cable as I just can't get the decent wifi speeds. Can't be bothered with the hassle go buying new routers etc. Was goin to use an apple extreme but have read they can have issue with Xbox live ?

      I've downgraded.. upload speeds were what I was more interested in... I'm currently back on 40/2 but soon to be 40/10... plus I'm sky staff, so it's only a tenner for me or 30 a month on the pro... I'm happy with the service though

      No discount on Fibre Pro for staff? I downgraded mine too when I heard about the upload upgrade. I just wish Sky would hurry up and upgrade mine. After having 15 meg upload 1.7 is horrible.

      Sky Fibre Unlimited Pro 49394/18767 Was before I got DLM'd down to 45000 but now downgraded

      considering that I am not getting the fibre I paying for I will drop back to the 40 10 product. On the positive note sky told me while there a problem won't be billed for the fibre

      Not yet, but I'm sure they will do, I'll upgrade again if they do

      the airport extremes have no problem with Xbox LIVE mine has worked flawlessly from day one. You have to however have to run the AP off the back of the sky router. its very easy to do just set it to bridge mode, configure the wireless and turn the sky router wireless off.

      My MacBook connects at 300Mbps on the 5Ghz channel.

      No idea what the iPhone and iPad connect at but I get full speed test results from them.

      My Xbox is hardwired which is better for gaming
