Re: Is DLM sky's way to cap people ??

You are quite right Richone, and to answer the question, no, DLM is not Sky's way to cap people.
By cap I mean reduce your sync for the hell of it, or as a means of traffic shapping. DLM may reduce your sync as a means of inproving/reduceing errors.
My line syncs at 16meg, rock solid no dropouts for weeks, but checking with a differant router and DMT tool, shows a lot of errors, so I expect my speed to drop to improve this.

Re: Is DLM sky's way to cap people ??

before DLM 5500kbps
after DLM Capped 2048kbps

Day 22 of DLM got this message from SKY

As the DLM process has been ongoing longer on your line than what it should be I have now passed this issue onto our Customer Solutions Team to be looked into further.

Are you going through o2? My friend (because he tops up £10/mo on his movile) gets 18/1.5 for £10/mo (same as Sky) so if I keep losing speed I know where to go!

Is it £10 / month or 3 months - either way it looks pretty tempting.

Re: Is DLM sky's way to cap people ??

I have benefited from this.

My speed used to be 14800kb approx, now it shows as 15648 kbps.

I get my full speed 24/7. Done lots of random testing to make sure not a lie, it was not!
