Broadband speed diabolical

Andy1801 — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 10:29:34 GMT

Paying for sky fibre and it's seeing less that 10mbs download, sometimes as low as 0.2mbs. nothing will load. Run multiple tests on sky website always says fine 150mbs. Which is clearly a lie. It's been like this for days now, it needs addressing and sorting out.

@Andy1801 the speeds on your hub look fine but given you have a full fibre connection the speed shown in the stats of 160Mb/s down is not something that is measurable by the hub so we assume Sky paste in a value. However. I note one of your speed tests shows a realistic connection speed of over 140Mb/s which seems to indicate that your line is correctly configured.

Assuming those tests were run in the same way that points to an issue and I wonder if you have a connection to a port which is misbehaving. Powering down your hub for at least 60 minutes should switch ports. If the fault clears that was the issue. If it doesnt it needs raising with Sky but before doing that be prepared for the standard challenge around wifi speeds so runntgectests over a direct ethernet connection.

@Chrisee have you looked at them all?

Two out of three of the speed tests are <1mb/s download.

There is a serious issue with it, it's so up and down it can't be right

@Andy1801 of course I looked at them all and I agreed you had an issue.
