Broadband only 42.1 but guaranteed 66.5

Nick88882 — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 21:01:22 GMT

Hello everyone, my broadband has been terrible for a while and finally had enough. My guaranteed broadband is 66.5 but only receive 42.1. Ive done the service check multiple times. Comes up with a broadband issue. Have reset everything multiple times and triple checked everything but the speed is still not the guaranteed 66.5.

please can someone help?

@Nick88882 Those are not the router stats, you need to follow the instructions to the end, first picture shows you what it looks like.

@Nick88882

Line attenuations do show you should get 80Mbps and the noise margins show no fault. Are you sure the hub is connected to the actual mastersocket

@Nick88882 Also log into your mysky account, run service checker, select your broadband, then line speed i with circle will show you last 30day history of the line speed.

It's consistently been round the 42 mark for the last 6 months or so

@Nick88882 If you are below the minimum that you are supposed to get Sky should be doing something if you have told them already about this.

@Nick88882 And does the check not allow you to fix or request an engineer to look at the problem?

Nick88882 — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 21:11:25 GMT

It shows different potential problems and how to fix when I've run through multiply times. Doesn't give an option to book an engineer.

my broadband connection contract has just finished so only on a rolling contract,

If they can't ge met fix it I'll look at a different supplier

thank you

@Nick88882Call Sky and get them to check the connection or ask them to monitor the connection.
