stuggle to get over 1mg but router says i have 6mg

[essex-lee]

hi, its 7.30 am and i am getting 1mg connection, in the evening that drops to 500k, which is not good enough for my xbox.
The router says i can get 6mb.
What is going on?
Im in the test socket and there is nothing else connected to the phone line.
im on sky connect and have only been with them for 6 weeks after moving house.

Sorry to say but it isnt good.

If you're on Sky Connect and want to game then you will be dissapointed. It is only good for the basic web browsing and even struggles with youtube etc.

The ONLY soloution to this problem is to leave and use a better managed ISP such as Plusnet, ADSL24, IdNet or Zen.

Nothing you do your end can alter the fact that Sky Connect is over capacity.

This was mine three days ago on Connect





Then o2 Premium came into my life




Just get that Mac code as soon as you can.

So is it Sky or my line ?

Why does the router say 6mb ?

If i went else where would i be able to get a better speed ?


Can i get any service above 8mb?
my post code is ss7 1ts and phone is 01702''''''''''


Thanks

It looks like your line with O2 just gives you 5meg

Keep checking for Isp.
Up until two weeks ago I could not get o2 premium use search sites like these,
Broadband Providers Comparison for UK ADSL, Cable and Satellite

I would take your phone number of if I were you

This is what Samknows says about your exchange. Unfortunately TalkTalk and Orange are the only LLU operators available to you. Having said that I have a colleague who lives in Hadliegh and is on TalkTalk and he is very happy with the service.

P.S. Best to remove your phone No. from an open forum like this.

It is Sky, your line is capable of 6mb or more but the problem is that Sky do not have the capacity on their Connect package to give it to you.

I repeat again "nothing you do your end will fix this", it is Sky pure and simple, the only soloution is to leave for pastures new.

Thanks guys.

Wat is an LLU operator ?

any isp you can recommend that are going to give me a half decent connection ?

Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) is where an ISP installs their own equipment in the local BT Telephone exchange.

This means they can supply a better service without the congestion that exists on the BT network.

Google it you want to know more.
