Just connected! :)
Hi All,
just got connected today to SkyBB Unlimited.
Activated on Friday, router arrived today..
Current Stats below. Im in the test Socket and DLM hasnt started yet. What do you think i can expect?
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4096 kbps 512 kbps
Line Attenuation 20.5 dB 15.0 dB
Noise Margin 18.9 dB 14.0 dB
I understand they put it straight on 4MB to start with..

Is it worth investing in a filtered faceplate for my master socket?
Thanks for the post

Re: Just connected! :)
Whats the real difference in using a filtered faceplate instead of a standard microfilter? do you gain any extra performance?

Re: Just connected! :)
That's interesting. Your noise margin has improved drastically. If it stays that way you will probably end up on 17ish meg.
You may want to go to the broadband page on your my sky account to see if DLM has finished or not.
