Discussion topic: Have Sky reduced superfast to 80/10?

As above,

My SR203 updated to 7.03.0509.R last night,

but sync rate is now what appears to be a 80/10 profile.

On a new customer availability, at this address, sky is also showing 8-9 Mb/s estimated upload.

Have Sky intentionally started throttling / capping upload speeds?

Tom...

@TomThumb5ive

As far as I'm aware wholesale FTTC is still only purchasable by ISPs at 80/20 and 40/10 Mbs.

A figure of 9995 is suggestive of Openreach DLM in operation.

I would have gone with dlm myself!

If it wasn't for the fact that sky's own availability checker quotes an estimated upload speed 8-9 Mb/s

I'm experiencing the same issue with Sky Superfast.

My Sky router resynced 2 nights ago, and the upstream rate synced to around half the previous.
The previous rate had been stable for years.

My upload speed is now so low that I can bearly do anything!
I've attempted to manually restart the router to force a resync, but the upstream rate is always half of what it was a couple of days ago.

Not happy 😡

Here's the upload speed tracker from Sky's website for my connection:
