Problems with broadband speed help

Missprim29 · 11 October 2017 at 11:02AM

Hi, I'm have trouble with my broadband speed with sky fibre. Im tied in to a contract until april 2018. I've run diagnostics ect but sky seems to think it's all fine, yet I'm getting 13mbps on sky fibre at low peak times and I was quoted to receive between 22.9-32.1 mbps (I have moved house recently so that was quoted on my previous address) Im paying a lot of money out to sky and the broadband speed is affecting our sky q boxes too. We can't download any thing onto the sky Q box if any one is playing games online other wise the game cuts out and glitches. The sky Q mini box often cant find a connection so is basically useless. So I'm paying for sky q and broadband and can't really use it. Do I have any rights or is there anything I can do about this? Thanks in advance x

Did you get a minimum speed spec from Sky? I have Sky ADSL and I got a minimum speed from them at sign up and they stated that if the speed dropped below that limit and they couldn't fix it then I could leave without penalty.

You need to check the quoted speed for your current address, previous address has no relevance.

It's the speed at peak times you need to be concerned with, if that is 13Mbps then you're doing okay and Sky Q won't struggle (obviously this won't affect your signal through the dish).

The mini boxes connect to the main box through WiFi and has nothing to do with your broadband.

Perhaps there is a problem with a piece of equipment causing interference. It need not be new,but in a different place to where it was in the other house.

When having problems with my PlusNet signal, they asked me to unplug the base of the cordless phone , while they ran tests, as interference is often caused by phones (though not in my case).
