    Speedtest:


    11:40am (o2 box)
    = BE UN (ip 188.......)

    12:15pm (Sky HUB) = Sky Broadband (ip 5.65)


    Does the modem settings have anything to do with it??

    Found the same as you, after running Sky router for a week.

    Speeds look to be down by 10% after switching to Sky, but can live with that for £0.

    I've switched back to the Netgear router, because I can tweak my speed upwards, but still not up to O2 speeds.

    Currently tweaked snr down further, and getting 7Mb/s, despite lowering snr more than with O2, still short of 7.4Mb/s.

    One other thing I noticed using the Sky router, whilst downloading a 1GB file, browsing slowed right down.

    I paused the download, and browsing speeded up again, resumed download, browsing slowed.
    I've never experienced that problem with the Netgear.
    Move along, nothing to see.
