What is the address for the Bt checker site?

[Wheelie]

Here you go Order tracking: Landline orders if you don't have an account you have to create one so you need your phone bill.

Where do i go to see what my sync speed is? cant see a link for that

[Wheelie]

Ah you don't get that on there

You need to login to the router for that

If you are not sure how to do this log into the router by clicking on this link

http://192.168.0.1 A little box will pop-up
the default username/password is admin/sky
then you will be on the Router Status page look at the bottom and you will see a button Show Statistics click on that and a pop-up window will give you all the info you need.

No not that, s00tie said that you can check your ipsync speed by going to the BT checker site and entering your sky username

[Wheelie]

Ah I see nope thats not possible on the BT checker all the checker is for is orders place on your land line ie: IP Stream MAX Adsl or LLU or any changes you make to your phone package.

You will only get your sync speed from the router

I read Sootie's posting with interest. I'm a know-nothing punter like thousands of other people. We haven't got the brain or, (likely as not),the interest to tweak, adjust or manipulate settings etc.

So it looks like it's an unequal system for the rest of us - with the gifted few running turbo-charged webmobiles while we chug along in our Trabants (most people probably not even knowing there's an alternative).

More power to your elbow I say, but how fair is that?

By the way, can anyone explain why I can only access Sky on my ethernet cable to hi-speed ethernet/usb adapted desktop by re-installing the Sky disc everytime (it seems to disconnect when left on overnight)

I've got a wi-fi laptop as well and that's more reliable - but not perfect.
