Hi

Anyone else noticed this? I'm on an 8Mb package and when I download I get
between 6 - 6.5Mb/s, however when I'm browsing the net it's dog-slow, it's
slow when receiving the response from pages and it's slow to download the
content from pages.

Any ideas why?!?

Thanks
Kev

I am having the exact problem. Sometimes i cant get to google without
like 1000 refresh's. Happening since friday. Have no idea why though.
i was having problems with downloading as well speed jumping from 20kb
to around 300kb(connection thorughput normally is 2.8mbps.).

I've had this problem since I was connected, like I say the downloads (from
newsgroups) is nice and fast, the web-browsing is slower than my last 2Mb
connection.

Have you tried rebooting your router? For some reason that seems to give
it a kick up the arse - but why should we have to do that?! It's ridiculous.

Restarting it does help for the first 30 secs but i ge tthe same
problem. The SNR seems to be fine. I had the same problem when i was
connected but i assumed that was because of the DSLAM setting the line
rate which was double what it is now. Its been better today.

How much do you pay, as that determines what type of equipment you are
connected to? £5 per month and you are on Sky's own, £17.99 and you are
using BT resold to Sky.

That's not foolproof! For the 6 months or so before an Exchange becomes LLU
enabled Sky offer "Sky Connect" (which is the name of their BT Product) for
£5/month as well!
