Dropped to 4.0 db and getting steady connection and good speed increase

[lettice]

Sky did a 10 day check recently, as they do.

Before I was getting 16.3mb on a 6.3db with a ping of 26-28

But sky have dropped me to a 4.1db and I'm getting 19.07mb download, 1.07mb upload and a ping of 20.
I've always had a very stable line, so nice surprise

Its why really I do not need to move to Fibre yet as get a great speed/connection at a very low price.
Just going to add to the sky router beta forum, as I know they will be pleased too.

The BT broadband availability checker shows my speeds as;

Nice results you have there.

I don't have all the information, but I suspect that Sky's DLM, including the new technologies such as G.INP, are helping more and more Sky customers to beat the BTW estimates.

It would be nice to compare a neighbour's BTW connection now to your own.

As and when you decide to upgrade to Fibre, those speeds look promising. Basically with the right set up at home, you should expect the full 80/20 connection speed.
