Sky Connect Broadband - Are you being slowed down?

[Nick T]

These results are a joke

• Broadband package: Sky Connect
• Normal Speed: 4.5mb (what you would normally expect)
• Current throttled speed: 1032 Kbps / 361 Kbps
• Average usage per day: hardly any, at work 9 - 6
• What does this throttling affect? Browsing

Before you decide take a look at NewNet, superb ISP particularly if you are a 'lowish' user.

NewNet definitely do NOT throttle. I had a superb 2+years with them, beginning to regret leaving now.

I have been emailing back and forth to sky about my own problem, and the general problem. It has been 'escalated'.
