Nick Garland Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 BT advertise it as "up to 8mb". Basically the further away from their exchange you live, the slower your connection is as it degrades over a phone line.Unlucky is all I have to say. NTL or Virgin as it is now use fibre optic cables, as the signal does not degrade anywhere near as much and thus you get more constant speeds.

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yeah, rub it into his face. Yeah the sky internet package is BT based, so if your a mile (not literally) away from an exchange point then you get sucky internet speeds.

Concussion Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Shouldn't be that bad though surly? Give the tech team hell, but don't shout at them cause that don't help... I should know! :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme_biker0 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Of course you are taking into account that it could be the server you're downloading off that could be restricting the speed?Can you download two things separately at 30kbps each?Test your internet speed here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yeah but my little pop up job in the corner says connected at 2mb but when you test it it's usually only around 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1handedluke Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) yeah my SKY connection was like this, its to do with the congestion on the line, the more people there are connected to ur exchange the slower it will go. but saying that mine was super slow at the peak times, had it for about 2 weeks and was really fed up, so rang sky and moaned she said there wasn't anything she could do. since the day after that my net only drops to about 3 mb at peak times instead of dial up speeds! and that was almost about a month ago now Edited June 24, 2007 by 1handedluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Campbell Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I am the shit. still like that without all those running too.That appears to be your wireless connection to the router/hub/modem your house is using rather than the connection to the internet.If that is the case it means roughly nout. For example see attached image.... bearing in mind my connection is BT 2mb (not bothered upgrading yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
