Re: Massive Speed Drop!
Since the drop in speed, have you rebooted the router yet? If not, reboot the router and re-take the stats.

Re: Massive Speed Drop!
I had already done this, but seeing as you asked, I repeated the reboot of the router. Below are the stats. Cheers!

As you can see, the download speed still sucks!

Re: Massive Speed Drop!
There are a few potential issues that need to be illuminated. Could we therefore ask you to do the following:
1. Swap your micro-filter with a spare, then recheck the stats
2. Plug your router into the test socket and recheck the stats
3. Whilst using the test socket, ensure that no other extensions are live
4. Plug a corded telephone into the test socket and dial '1'. Listen carefully for any noise on the line, it should be crisp and clear of all noise
Please let us know how you get on.

Re: Massive Speed Drop!
Hi - thanks for the reply. I had done all of those tests already. Decided to give sky another ring last night and the guy managed to get my speed up just over 7MB. Here are my new stats.

That is a nice improvement.
Keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
