Broadband totally slow

My broad band performance has been utterly poor over the last 6 months, unable to carry out any work from home.

 

There appears no online support except for the automatic agent which is very frustrating to deal with.

 

I am planning to quit Sky.

Hello,

 

Thanks for your reply.

I have attached Sky Stats as per the instructions.

I have also attached stats from MS Teams that I use for office work. I hope this provides further information.

 

The internet is very slow. I can hardly use video on Teams which is very difficult to work. I am forced to close other applications while working on one requiring internet. This is becoming very difficult to cope with.

 

Any suggestions will be useful.

 

Thanks

Re: Broadband totally slow

@SR2024 Your stat's are good, but you look to have one of the oldest routers circa 10 years ago, also on a adsl line, lowest speed possible, and surprised that you even get teams to work.

Can you confirm your router, and what speed package.

@SR2024  Can see that you are on standard ADSL with a download speed of 13 mb/s and 1.2mb/s upload. Is this that what is available to you in your area?

You do have a fault but as adsl2+ sky essentials has no guarantee sky are unlikely to do anything about it

@SR2024 

Trying to work from home over an ADSL line is just plain silly IMO. Nothing relatively modern can run effectively over such a slow connection, especially Teams.

The best possible ADSL outbound speed is below the minimum which Microsoft advises for HD video in Teams: that's inherent to ADSL technology, which is now essentially obsolete. 

 

Reducing Teams video quality to its lowest possible level should get you a little more leeway, but may be unacceptable within your business.

 

You may also gain some advantage from connecting to the Hub over ethernet rather than Wifi, but moving to a modern form of broadband if at all possible should be your priority.
