28.7 Mbps

Just signed up to sky, had it for 3 weeks. 1st 2 weeks seemed stable, monthly payment taken, now connection keeps dropping out.

Using ethernet straight cable from router to pc. no wifi involved.

Getting 28.7 Mbps on a promised minimum speed in the contract of 43.8 Mbps.

Can someone at Sky check into this please. Thanks for your help

@28-7Mb_s 

This is a community where customers help each other so you are not talking to Sky.

 

Try running the line test here to see if any faults are found:
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/broadband-diagnostic-start


You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.


After this has finished and if it reports back all is good click on broadband to run an updated test. If you get amber or red please follow the on screen instructions.


If this is of no help give Sky a call to report it to them.

If you have health issues that affect your ability to communicate, it may be worth registering with the Sky Accessibility Team who may be able to help now or in the future. Once registered there are also different methods of communication with this team other than phoning so have a look at the related links here… ~

I'm fortunate enough to not need the services of the Accessibility Team but look through that first link. I don't know their operating hours especially at the weekend.

Re: 28.7 Mbps

@28-7Mb_s Service checker will show you the daily average for each day connected direct to the Hub, just expand the Broadband > arrow to go see it! Link is below and a couple off links all about speed explained.

And for speed related issues good read.

@28-7Mb_s What hub do you have connected, see the link! Also if you can say, what type of OR Master socket are you connected to!
