    Do you have to pay to dial Zoe ?

    No
    Is she shy only?

    Assuming you mean Sky and not shy, then yes she is. However phoning 17070 on a BT line will get the BT equivalent which does a quiet line test too.

    Call sky, do what needs to be done with them in terms of checks and things. If they have to send an engineer out, even if the problem is in your home, you don't get charged for it. Sky now absorb the cost.

    Never heard of that before. Any link to that?
    If the speed is within the estimate though there is not a lot than can be done.

    If you log into Sky.com and go to "check my broadband" from the Mysky drop down, it will tell you what your estimated line speed is. If the minimum is more than the 2.5 you are getting then there may be something they can do.

    I'd be surprised if a line capable of achieving 14 would have a minimum as low as 2.5. My minimum was 3.5 and maximum 8.5.

    No it isn't as it uses different networks.

    Have you contacted Sky yet?

    Can you login to MySky and go the BB page and tell us what it says about your minimum and maximum speed estimates.

    Upgrade to fibre,

    Todays score. Downloads up from previous tests but uploads down a bit...

    There's an obvious fault on this line which will still be there on fibre. No point in upgrading till it's fixed.

    How do you know for sure there is a fault?

    I gave you the reasons in Post 20.

    There is something causing your SNR margin to be so high and that's causing your low speeds as Sky have done this to get your line stable.

    Now that could be an external fault or an internal fault but something is causing it.

    Are you using filters on things like telephones and your Sky box?

    Have you checked MySky yet?
