Try your master socket for better results

I think there's a 16384 profile as well
as my brother inlaw has 16300 1114
and a forced lower margin only results in 16383
so he's capped at 16384

he's on SVBN

not that it matters if you are set at 16 or 18 as you wont reach anywhere near that
maybe 4mb if you are lucky 900 up

Thanks Exdee, I didn't orriginally see User05's post. Have just rang them back and User05 was right so have requested to be reprofiled to the profile you mention above. They said it might take 48hrs to update and to keep check my router stats...... so the wait begins!

Don't hold your breath.

Don't hold your breath.

Ditto.

The updates are being spread over a 4 week period. They started about a week ago, so 3 more weeks of this silly cycle remain.

Whilst some people are being placed on the update list, the promised 24 or 48 hour window is being increased to 72 hours already.

The best policy is to disable the WiFi abilities on the router and check periodically to see if the update has been applied.

Looks like Scubbie has had too much to drink..

Ha the missus will kill me if I disable the WiFi, she uses it to make facebook profile updates via her mobile during the day!

A pair of HomePlugs would certainly do the trick.

A pair of these cost from around £35 and go up to £150. aim to get a pair with a pass-through socket and that support up to 100 or 200mbps.

In the bedroom, a simple 5-Port switch will provide the network ports. These cost from £4.

If you happen to have an old router lying around, you can see the guide for adding a 2nd router and save the £4.

My dad had a homeplug he wanted me to test as he couldn't get it working... Well guess what it's working now! , connected via his old 54g wireless rougter (with the wireless disabled) placed next to the PC's upstairs.
I now have internet upstairs while router is still in test socket.

All I need now is to purchase an adsl nation master filter plate which I shall do once the good people of Sky get me on the best connection possible!

NB He aint gettng the homeplug back

Hi I have a new problem,

Went to bed with everything working fine:

1. Router plugged into test socket via a sky filter and voice phone into the other connector on the filter. (I could get on the net and make voice calls).

Now when I woke this morning I've got 'no line' displayed on my phone and get npo dial tone, yet can connect to the net. I have changed none of the wiring from last night and even tried plugging the phone into the test socket on it's own, but still have 'no line'.

What could be the problem. Have sky switched the line to ADSL only?

It looks like one of the wires back to the exchange has become broken or disconnected. This allows the broadband to work, but not the phone. You will have to call your phone rental provider and report the fault.

Damn. I pay line rental to sky as I have their talk unlimited package. Is this who I phone to report the fault to?

[Isitme]

Yes, if you pay the rental to them, they are responsible..
