Confused??

I went on the sky website and inserted my phone number and post code
and it said

"Currently we estimate that the maximum download speed your line could support is 3.5Mb"

I live just over the road from the exchange

Exchange: Bridgwater BT Code: WWBWAT
Location: George Street TA6 3NA
Distance:- Direct:
0.05 mi
(appx)* By Road:
305 ft

Please tell me this ain't true

if its a new number things get messed up as the system looks up the old postcode
i was told i would only get 4meg max
even though i knew i was 200m away from the exchange as the crow flies

And i get

Upstream 1142204
Downstream 20479632
SNR Margin(Upstream) 9.5 dB

It usually takes 24 hours to update the BT wholesale database. If your phone went live today the BT wholesale database should reflect this tomorrow.

Yeah my phone line got connected at 9:30am, the BTO guy was really cheerful and really nice, he enjoyed a good chat lol

The reason why you were all told/shown 3.5mbps is i believe because you are on SVBN equiptment.

The line speed calculator for SVBN doesnt go right all the time.

[GrimTech]

Well I will hope i get alot more then 3.5, that's just pants speed to be honest
