sky router and modem power consumption

ajbell

How much power does the sky fibre router and modem use?.
Along with the fridge and freezer it's about the only thing running 24/7.

you the sky modem, look at what it requires then google energy usage calc.

as for a fridge, do the same but it would depend on the fridge model/make/efficiency

The Sky website says the ADSL router uses 5watts max, but powers down when internet is not being used.


I assume that both types of router would do this, thus making it difficult to calculate power usage.

My Virgin Superhub 2 is about 8W, so about £8 per year at 11p per unit for electricity.

My fridge-freezers vary a bit. At rest they use about 2W and when the compressor turns on about 130W then gradually reduce to about 80W before turning off. Based on measurements of about 3 months each, one looks like it will cost about £54 per year and the other £39. They are both 2m high Liebherr/Miele of similar age (about 10 years old now)

I was worried about the Sky box itself, it's not particularly smart at going into standby mode. I only use it to get CNBC which isn't on Freeview HD :-/

Unfortunately it's not very lean on power either..
