Really slow after line rental transfer

[Isitme]

I now have an engineer coming out this Monday, don't know what they will do

Probably tell you that your line is OK and the problem is with Sky. If he does say this remind him that you are on a BT connection, not a Sky one.

I can't I am actualy on SKY line rental thats where my problem started...

As I have said before, if you are on Connect then you are on a BT line which is being rented by Sky and rented back to you. It is still a BT line. Your broadband is the same, rented by Sky and rented back to you.

I would not have thought an engineer visit was necessary, but let's hope he gets things moving in the right direction.

Engineer came out, nothing at all wrong with the line, did however fit one of those nice new ADSL connection boxes.

Here are the stats an hour later!!

But within that hour I had contact BT to switch back to their line rental!! I may also consider their broadband due to the isolation where I live, it may be the best option.

Just about anything is better than Connect, you should consider Plusnet, as they are owned by BT you are not likely to get messed around so much and their conditions are a bit better than BT.

I doubt if your line rental has been switched back within an hour, but it looks like BT have succeeded in forcing you back to them, their ploy in messing up your connection has worked.
Sky have lost another customer due to their incompetent staff.

Good luck with your new supplier, no matter who they may be.
