Exclamation Need Serious Help... Mega Slow Connection!

I have Sky Broadband Mid (8MB) package and my connection is always slow.
When i log onto the router, this is what speed is says im getting!

DownStream Connection Speed 128 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 128 kbps

When i download things, my download speed is ALWAYS 13 kbps, the highest it has ever reached it 15 kbps.

Can anyone help me on this?

Re: Need Serious Help... Mega Slow Connection!

Will need to see your stats, can you log into the router and post your attenuation, SNR and down/ upstream speeds?

Re: Need Serious Help... Mega Slow Connection!

A friend of mine (not on Sky ) ended up with a similar situation after moving her setup from one room to another.
She had managed to connect her router to the telephone side of the ADSL filter.
The house had a lot of dodgy extension wiring.
What surprised me was that it worked at all!

Just a thought

Re: Need Serious Help... Mega Slow Connection!

I dont get it though, because my friend has the free sky broadband and her download speed is 1340 kbps, and she lives 1 mile further down the road from me... so it cant be anything to do with the exchange point (as shes further away from it)

Re: Need Serious Help... Mega Slow Connection!

IT can be down to line conditions as much as distance. You didn't post what I asked for btw. Attenuation, synch and SNR
