Sky Broadband

[greenlands]

My download speed in the area I live in is poor to start with and I check it regular just for peace of mind.I noticed last Friday that the speed had dropped form 2mb to 1.5mb doesn't sound a lot but when you are on a slow speed to start with it is.

Has your speed changed ?

I contacted sky and managed to get three operators who all talked the same rubbish for about twenty minutes each.Finally they all came to the same conclusion the my router was up the spout.A new one arrived this mo. and if anything it's worse,awaiting a reply from Sky.

My mate some half a mile away is having the same problem.

It's nice to know what they promise and what you get.

Check that your router is not overheating.

If something is restricting the airflow around it this can cause this problem.

Switch it off for a while abd see if the speed is any better when you restart with a cool router.
