enjoy, my BT’s fibre speed was :

now all I am getting is this:

Make sure it isn’t disconnecting intermittently (or being turned off at all). BT’s equipment at the exchange is designed to force your speed down if it detects problems (in an attempt to stabilise the line), and constant disconnections either through fault or turning off the equipment, even once or twice a day, are a symptom it recognises.

We had a similar problem; they sent out a BT engineer who found out the wire connection to the house (up the ladder!) was faulty. He tightened it up and phoned the exchange to reset the equipment. This was free of charge after a phonecall to Sky.

However my Aunt used to turn off her modem/router whenever she wasn’t using the internet; unsuprisingly as a result, she had unbearably slow internet!

My sky fibre being activated next week..yahhooo

I always turn off my router when not in use, never been aware that it slows down the connection though.

I thought it was only Orange broadband who did that.

Useful to know.

[Rondetto]

I’m with Sky, never had any problems with slowness or connection.

So sky fibre installed today, topping out at 38down and 6.5up. Not bad as was quoted 27down.

I’m not particularly impressed with Yahoo mail, but I suppose I’ll get used to it.
