Thought I might just just post this kind of stuff to hopefully stop people making the mistake a lot of people have by trusting sky and their award winning broadband.

As far as MAX/UNLIM goes thats another story but Sky connect Listen up people that are even thinking of touching it.

1) My BT Master socket is 100% fine and in perfect order
2) I should recieve the stated speed of 8mbps (Except at peak times)
3) I am wired via Ethernet
4) I recieve a speed of roughly 2mbps when not throttled

Tonight: With throttling this is my average speed rendering it unstable and unable to load basic web pages (Its took me almost 5 minutes to load the reply to thread box)

Modem Stats: Modem
ADSL Firmware Version A2pB023o.d20h
Modem Status Up
DownStream Connection Speed 8128
UpStream Connection Speed 448
VPI 0
VCI 38

Speed @ 21:25pm

Will edit this after 12am to show you the uncapped speed.

Considering I was told from a Sky tech that I'm in an area that just about gets the best ADSL connection under the 20mb package, Thats absolute crap

Lucking I have Virgin coming on Wednesday to reinstall 50mb and a working connection.
