>20Mb/sec Service
Does anyone know if Sky have any plans to up their BB Max 20Mb/sec in the near future without having to go via their semi-fibre route?
Thanks

Re: >20Mb/sec Service
Those who have been on DLM training recently and have had a good enough line, have had their speed increased above the 20Mb limit, I have seen some with nearly 23Mb. Sky no longer quote 20Mb as the maximum speed, so from that I think we can take it that it is now up to the maximum 24 Mb possible on ADSL. I am not sure but I don't think the Sky help desk can set the line speed to over 20 Mb, it can only be done by DLM training.
If you have the 20 Mb maximum speed, or near to it, with a good noise margin it may be worth asking Sky to run DLM again on your line.

Re: >20Mb/sec Service
No, the package is still 20Mbps. Sky just stopped advertising speeds as they want to focus on the Unlimited usage aspect of the package. Some lines are configured higher than 20Mbps, but that's actually just because of poor management of the DLM system. If the line is manually configured then the maximum speed that can be set is actually 20000Kbps, so not quite 20Mbps.

Re: >20Mb/sec Service
The change in advertising was actioned because of Ofcom. all the ISPs had to do this.
Sky has also changed it's DLM software which now goes above the previous 20mb limit.
This means that those who live close to the telephone exchange, where the correct equipment is located too, can now get speeds in excess of 20mb.
However, as an example, my connection could support speeds >20mb, but the kit I am connected to won't go above this speed.

I will accept what you say about the package, but I am fairly sure that I have seen some getting a speed estimate of xxMb-24Mb very recently.
