Switching to Sky a question

[Gavin20]

Nothing to worry about then.

The NTE5 was introduced to allow consumers to fit their own extensions if they wished as it can be done without interfering with the main line. BTO's responsibility stops at the Test socket, which the faceplate plugs into. Previously it was against the BT T&Cs for a consumer to interfere with the master socket in any way, the only way for a user to add an extension was to use a plug in type.

Thanks for the reply

Well today is the day I'm now 3hrs 35 mins into the 5 hour time slot for the BTO engineer, starting to wonder if one will actually turn up plenty of time I know but most of the work is done at the exchanges I believe

EDIT

Now into the final hour of the time slot

Final Update

The BTO engineer arrived at 12:30 I asked him if he could move the master socket to the back room to which he replied no problem, took him around 45 minutes put a brand new open-reach master socket in did some work at the green box and he was finished just before 15:00 all in all very happy with the service

So having been connected to sky this afternoon here is the first stats

ADSL Link	Downstream	Upstream
Connection Speed	2233 kbps	605 kbps
Line Attenuation	64.0 dB	39.7 dB
Noise Margin	7.9 dB	14.1 dB

Nice result for you line length. Whilst that is the initial connection speed, do let DLM do it's job first, but I suspect that you might be better off with having it set to 'ADSL' (aka G.DMT) rather than 'ADSL2+'.

Yeah need to give it 10 days so it can settle down, I was given a speed of up-to 9mbps with 5.5 most likely

With an attenuation of 64 I would doubt very much you would get anywhere near tbh

ADSL2+ Speed Test

We estimate your line is capable of between 2mb to 3mb broadband on an ADSL2+ service. This ADSL2 Line Speed Calculator is a best guess only, as to the broadband speed that maybe possible on your telephone line. The checker provides results of up to 24mb with the data that is made available to us. This is purely for indication only and should not be classed as the Line Speed that you would receive on any ADSL or LLU product from another ISP.

Thanks for the reply, I shall be keeping a close eye on the speed over the coming day's according to the my broadband page in my sky Line testing is not currently in progress
