This is mine… using the BT speedtest - much more accurate than speednet I find

7.86 down and 0.73 up for me using the same BT checker as you. Note I'm on wireless, can't be bothered cabling a PC into my router as I've got to set off to work soon

 

Normally it's a little faster, but it's still acceptable for me. I was thinking about going to Infinity or a similar part fibre / part copper setup, but can't really be bothered, this is adequate and I've never had problems with throttling or 'fair usage' policies

is all very well but you must do a pingtest.net to see quality of the line

packet loss is bad if you do stuff like play online games

What's your actual achievable downstream ? Should it be like up to 9MB/s ?

I pay for 20Meg but receive on average 1.2 to 1.4MB/s download speed from Sky Broadbrand. Think it cost like £10 for internet (Surcharge for not having sky tv) aprox £12 for telephone and £35 for sky TV (front room and a bedroom) TV was registered in separate name and was free installation as a result.

Do you reckon it possible to merge both subscription accounts and reduce the monthly costs or at least get better broadband speeds. (Sky is trash anyway but my brother pays for it) and No one ever uses telephone but requirement for broadband. Get nuisance phone calls at least twice per month from people dialing the wrong numbers which is strange cause they call mistaken us for all sorts: friends/relatives, take-aways, companies calling to speak to so and so last one thought we was a cottage and she had a room rented with us.

 

You need to research that as sky say "up to" 20 meg and to be honest there is very few places that can achieve that with them, there is a site that can tell you your expected speed on sky with your postcode but cant remember it off hand.

 

My mate was told upto 20 meg then he said what will I really get and the sales person said   1 -3 meg tops for his area  lol  joke company!  No wonder its  unlimited and they never slow you down even at peak times  cuz if they slowed some people down it would stop altogether!!

Not great but suits me.

Well happy with this speed.
