- @ red devil,your exchange went live a few weeks ago your cab is outside the club i think so you should get around 60/65 mb mate thats is about 1gb of info in a minute.....
Thanks for that, Sky Fibre being installed on the 27th :-) Free for 6 months as we have the full package then £12.50 extra a month, lets hope it's worth it! | |

should look like this
you should see speeds around 36/38 up and about 8 down all depends how close you are to the cabinet (green box) and if your broadband has been fitted correctly (had to run a new cable through Mario's garden to get his working right!!) Cheers for that Daz. Installed and ran it a few times. Averaged about 22 up and 8 down. No idea where the green box is, will have to go and check and I wasn't here when Sky fella installed, but have to assume he knew what he was doing. Will PM postcode for checking. | |

if I plug it into the main socket in front room I can't get a connection when i'm in the conservatory. plugging into the hallway socket I can get a poor signal in the conservatory?
basically its sh!t!! | |

Thanks for the info Daz. I downloaded a few Apps last night and played around on iPlayer and YouTube etc and it was noticeably quicker navigating content, almost seemless, but general surfing was about on par with previous - perhaps due to your comment about iPad connectivity in general. As I said unfortunately I wasnt here when the Sky guy called so I cant comment on competancy of the job, but if you are ever in the area with work or whatever, I'd certainly take you up on your offer to have a quick look see | |

Surely that first mouse will be dead by now, you need to put another one on the wheel at the exchange and try a bigger bit of cheese. | |

| Rooter, they dont advertise it widely, but you can pay your line rental up front. I just did and it averaged out at about £10 per month for the year. Thats a full tank of go-go juice to the likes of us | |
