Re: Netflix speed test
It had to be done.
Surface Pro 8 via the Sky Hub instead of the Pod.
WIFI 863 down. 107 up.
Ethernet 886 down. 109 up.
Unless Sky have upgraded me to Gigafast for no reason that doesn't make a lot of sense. 🙂

Re: Netflix speed test
The My Sky App Service Checker says:
Your package Full Fibre 500.
Speed to your hub. 903 Mb/s.
I wonder if they're maybe testing lines or something. I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

Re: Netflix speed test
I checked the 30 day history. It only goes back 9 days to when I switched from Ultrafast Plus to Full Fibre 500.
For 7 days it ranged from 493 to 593.
Yesterday it was 883 and today 903.

Re: Netflix speed test
@splatto All you can do is give it the once over check occasionally! See if it stays, been a few sky oops with the checker and reporting side so who knows!

Re: Netflix speed test
Continuing to experiment. I ethernetted (is that a word? 🙂) the Powerline adapter into the Sky Pod instead of the router. I got the same 89mbs from Netflix that I did from the router.
