Failing to reach minimum downlad speeds

Hi There

 

Minimum speed is meant to be 50mbps but been getting 33/34mbps for a while now.  How can I get this fixed?

 

Thanks

And can you run tests from your my sky app and post the info in more about your connection to see your minimum guaranteed download speed

  • Run this test - Broadband check | Sky.com
  • On the more about your connection link it will show your minimum download speed, can you post that?
Passing on the tips I have learned in over 24 years as a more than satisfied Sky customer.

Thats why i would like to see the info in "more about your connection" after you run the test. At the minute your stats don't really show anything untoward. Your noise margin at just over 3db is as good as you'll get

We would like to see what it says now. Guarantees can change due to line conditions etc that are not viable to repair

@MrsLG12 The router stats suggest that 50mbps isn't achievable on your line, there is little the forum users can suggest other than call Sky and see what they say as it doesn't appear that you have a fault.

@daveNOS there defo something wrong. Noise margins fine but line attenuations a bit high for a 50Mbps guarantee. Scratching my head

 

@MrsLG12 

 

You could call sky on 150 from a sky landline or
zero three three three seven five nine one zero one eight from any other phone

Or if in Ireland

Call sky ireland on

08.185.00.27.2
Remove all the full stops

 

Or we can escalate
