Re: Activated now then please post info here

Order Date: 24th Jan 08
New Connection
or
Migration Migrated from Pipex
Router Arrived 27th Jan 08
Connection Due 5th Feb 08
Actually Connected 4th Feb 08
Up sync speed 384
Down sync speed 8096
Distance from the exchange 1000 Mtrs
Router Sagem 2054
Line Attenuation 24db downstream
Line Attenuation 13.5 db upstream
Noise Margin 14.4db downstream
Noise Margin 13.0 upstream

It's all gobbledygook to me but any comments, is it good bad or fair?

Conclusion: Installation of Sky + and broadband was hasslefree and everything arrived when they said it would, current speed is just under 6mbit I feel it could be a little faster, usually 6.5 - 6.8 mbit with Pipex but early days, I'll keep a eye on it. reason for migration was for tv plus cheaper broadband.

Your order is progressing fine, but we've had a huge response to Sky Broadband, so you may need to wait up to three working days from your estimated activation date before you can start surfing with Sky Broadband. The estimated date is: 06/02/2008
I will update this post as soon as I am able to access here via Sky BB and finally after a week or so, once the connection has settled down.
