Hi,
I've had a Sky broadband FTTC connection for some time (recontracted last year to get new Sky hub).
It's the superfast up to 59Mb service.
I've only ever got a maximum of 34Mb from this line.
I recently had a new line from the pole to the house installed and Vodafone's FTTC service activated on it. I wanted the second line for my home office.
However, even though both lines come from the same pole (pretty much outside my garden gate) and both terminate in the same street cabinet the speeds on both are very different.
I get 34Mb on the Sky line and 47Mb on the Vodafone line. Surely the Sky line should be capable of the same speeds ?
Is there anything I can do to get Sky to up the line speed ?
Here are the stats from both routers :
