Cant locate the speed checker

[chrismckay]

I have recently upgraded to Sky fibre "gigafast"

I would like to see if I am getting the minimum gauranteed speed, however there is no speed check displayed on the service checker page when I log in

Anybody any ideas?

Best way is to use an etherneted device with nothing else downloading and run a speedtest on fast.com or nperf.com

Thanks Mark,

The speed that they gaurantee is from their source to the hub, not from the hub to device.

I think the method suggested would be checking from hub to device!!!!!

Agreed. But the sky hub doesn't captur line speed as its own vdsl modem is bypassed by the ont but the eth device will be 90-95% of line speed

You could log onto your hub using a ethernet device and go to the stats page (as below) then start a download then wait for 10 seconds and post the stats

Thanks for the help.....I will give that a try.

One more thing, is it possible that Sky dont show the speed checker results until after the 14 day settling down period?

On the service checker page I get the thumbs up for connection and wifi but no speed is shown.

The connection speed  on FTTP is now shown in the stats following one of the recent firmware updates on the SR203.

Not sure if that figure isn't just carried over from the profile.  In addition according to your own stats only 1.37  Mbps has been utilised.
