In reply to a post by dusty : Its only good because you can get it as a bundle, as soon as all in sundry can get it, that's when it will go down the pan. Keep it like it is, i say. Everyone could get UK Online, but that didn't mean the network fell to pieces. Indeed, everyone can get O2 LLU which is also doing just fine (current O2 forum issues relate to non-LLU). Oliver.

Its generally recommended to change the ISP provided settings for best security, long WPA or WPA2 passwords are...

Hi, I have been with Sky for a couple of months now since switching from o2, things are ok, but I think I should be getting a faster speed, streaming can be a bit rubbish. However, I have used tests using the thinkbroadband tester and another, which both suggest I have a dowload speed of 7mb and upload of .65, however, when I rang Sky to ask about increasing speed as I pay for the umilited package an my line should be able to support 13mb,...

Connection speed reported by the router is normally 100% accurate - but you can never get a download speed equal to what the router reports. There are various overheads and so if you can run a speedtest and download consistently at around 80% of the router value, then that's normal. So if your router is reporting 9mbit and you download at 7mbit thats normal. The question would be why you don't get the 13mbit you expected and...

Checked service details on MYSKY and its still says 5mb?? Tried...
