Re: Hello all!
See if you can get a direct ethernet connection using only a cable, no homeplugs or wireless. It is possible your homeplugs are not working properly.

Re: Hello all!
Just a couple of things, and the regulars please correct me if this is wrong.
Firstly speedtest.net gives variable results, depending on the time of day. Was Derry the only server you tested on? Did you try other servers in England, for example London, Manchester or Milton Keynes? If so do they provide similar results?
Secondly, according to the results you are posting, you are on TalkTalk not Sky BB. Opal Telecom is a part of the TalkTalk network. According to results via Google it should now be known as TalkTalk Business.
Looking at the telephone exchanges in Derry, Sky does have a presence in each of them. I note that TalkTak does too.
Sky Fibre Unlimited Pro: Connected at 80,000 kbps / 20,000 kbps
Previous ADSL2+ Speed 19999 kbps 1153 kbps, Line Attenuation 17.5 db 6.9 db, Noise Margin 7.5 dB 8.7 dB
Speedtest: 17.15MB/s 0.97Mb/s Ping 31 ms

Re: Hello all!
With your sync speed, using ethernet, you should be getting 14-14.9Mb. Try starting in Safe Mode with Networking and do a speed test here - Sky User - Broadband Speed TesterWhat do you think I should be achieving with my noise & attenuation?
As Scubbie says, speedtest.net is not the most dependable of testers and can give ridiculous results at times. You might also want to try this one as your are NI based. - UK Speed Test - Lucid NI Web Design and Internet Hosting Belfast Northern Ireland.

Supposed to go live today but my phone line still not working. Lady on the phone said it could happen any time before 12 tonight, it's not likely to go live today is it? I am now left with no phone or BB
