Buffering

Recently changed from bt to sky broadband, all i did was change router as all fibre existed, same location. Shows connected speed of 150mb, constantly buffering on all devices, did not have this issue on previous supplier.

Also had this issue for a long time. Bought range extenders and still don't have any joy

@Bobthebuild35 Hard one that the sky SR203 Broadband hub is really fairly good and in par with the BT Smarthub! Are the extenders new for working on the sky or used before and connected to the BT, you may just have to give them a reset if on the BT beforehand!

Never used extenders on BT smart hub or new sky hub,

Pretty frustrating when you have to revert to mobile data on phone when hub is 6 feet away with sync speed of 150 mb.

Seems like throuhput is being throttled

@Bobthebuild35 Post 2 you said you bought them or am i mistaken! 6 foot from the hub then no way you need for that distance! Sorry bob did not see that someone else had jumped on the post!
