FTTP router stats now showing connection speed

[Giggsy1977]

Anyone else's SR203 showing their connection speeds in the router stats?

Don't think there has been a firmware update, but connection did drop in the early hours and now it shows what I'm connected at rather than 0kbps.

That happened recently however others on fttp are querying whether they are the line stats or just harvested from the profile

Thanks @cookiemonsteruk - fair point. Are the figures accurate or just filling a box?!

Shall have to keep any eye on them.

Been getting the orange voice light, necessitating a unplug of the router for a few mins so was thinking if it was a firmware upgrade it might help with that!

We are waiting for word back from community managers on the accuracy ie will it  show a fault when there is one.

That would be good. I hear it's Sky servers without enough addresses causing the orange voice light issue. Bit frustrating as I upgraded to FTTP for more stability!

The orange voice light has been an issue since sky rolled out fttp and tends to bring down the broadband as well without an underlying broadband issue.  Again whether or not the stats you posted will revert to zero would provide a clue as to where those downstream figures are gleaned from

Assuming it lets me log into the router. Sometimes it has when the connection is down, sometimes it hasn't! 🙄

I found it strange that it never showed.  Must be maxed out at 999.9mbps, sometimes the speedtest.net gets to 1.2gbps 🙂
