Broadband painfully SLOW

[bexmcd]

Our broadband is so slow. I have spent the last hour and a half trawling though all the troubleshooting steps and STILL I get a speed of check of 0.5


We are on sky unlimited. we now only have the the modem plugged in (in test socket) through a micro filter and have moved router away from everything that may cause interference. I have painstakenly tried every different channel. Still no change. I have plugged my mac in through ethernet cable, no wireless. STILL 0.5 max. Before I unplugged them I checked phones and lines were working fine.


I can not find what sky estimated our speed to be when we signed up, but I am pretty sure i would not have signed up with them with a speed of 0.5

Anyone have any other suggestions?

This shows your connection is heavily capped. You should have 7-8Mb. I would guess that your internal wiring is interfering with the signal causing DLM to heavily cap your speed. If you call Sky and ask them to reconfigure your line as you have made wiring changes they should be able to immediately raise your speed and possible put it on DLM training to improve it further.

Edit - If you then move your router back to its original position your speed will again plummet. You should buy, fit and use a filtered plate on the Master socket. Although a bit more expensive the VDSL plate is best. It performs better than an old type plate and is very easy to fit.
