SkyBB Mid Ssssllllloooooooooww down

[joe1978]

Hi there, I've not been around for a while but while tinkering tonight I noticed that my speeds have dropped from about 4Mb down 400Kb up to what they are on the stats below. Any idea what teh problem is and how to sort it? BTW my router is plugged into an extension as whoever put my house together put the master socket in the furthest (sp?) corner of the house with no plugs anywhere near!!!

thanks muchness

you havent been capped. i would be more likely to blame it on the extension.

[richone54]

^^ i agree, you could have a look at the cabling and face thread and see if you may be up to putting a ADSL faceplate and then the correct cat 5 cable run to the computer

(or the cheaper way is just to replace the telephone extention you have but this will degrade as the last one did)

[joe1978]

Thanks guys, well if I haven't been capped there's no point in me going crying to sky I suppose. I'll have to look at my home cabling arrangements.

[joe1978]

Well....
still wasn't happy with my connection speed so I chanced my arm and raised a fault with BT. They found a fault and sorted it today hey presto downstream rate seems excellent am I missing something here or is too good to be true??...

[eyemdee]

^^^ Whatever BT did reduced your line attenuation from 52 to 43db but although you are now getting almost the max speed for connect, the noise margin is very low and there are loads of CRC errors.

My guess is that they will eventually reduce the speed by capping the line to stablise it, but they have certainly sorted something out for you.

Also it would be worth checking that extension to see if the ring wire is connected on terminal 3 of the faceplate/master socket. If so, diconnect it and you may get an immediate improvement.

[richone54]

thats a good change, as eyemdee says if you could just clean up your internal wiring all should be goo in the hood

P.S your on mid

[joe1978]

Thanks richone and eyemdee, yep been on mid since may this year, no complaints really. just need to work on getting my speeds sorted so I can watch heroes season 2 online

joe

[richone54]

heroes season 2

What a show

you should also check out dexter

[IWasNotTheEnemy]

you're on Mid, not Connect....

Heroes Season 2 FTW!!!!

also, errors are pretty bad so id give it a shot in ur master socket and see how it goes...
