SKY Broadband Ultrafast - Is It Worth Upgrading ?

[@TheCheshireCat.]

Why does everyone do speedtests on a phone over WiFi? Do it properly with a laptop via an ethernet cable with no one using the Internet. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

[@jordanrockett8877]

Because people think the internet speed you're told you're paying for is what you're "going" to get on a device. it's not. its to the router. tis why whenever i call my isp for a fault or something, i'll explain the speeds to the router. not a "Speedtest".

[@paksallion]

They do give a minimum guaranteed speed over WiFi too aswell as MLS sent directly to the router.

[@simonmellor4028]

I've always found wifi to be around 25-30% down on ethernet connection. We can only get superfast 60 in our area. Ethernet to tv is bang on 60 consistently, but wifi averages 40mbs. Cables will always offer faster speeds.

[@Liquica]

I don't use Sky Internet more than 3 years and i have cancelled the contract since then. My question is, why they keep sending me letter and insist to pay Sky Internet even i don't use it anymore ? 😡😡😡

[@AdamKerry2024]

AHH nightmare

[@gorebrush]

The grey box is what is delivering a full fibre optic cable all the way to your house. "Superfast" and all previous "Fibre" offerings are NOT fibre all the way to your house, there is still a copper line forming part of your connection. Full fibre is required for us to get beyond 80Mbps on "part" fibre connections. You also need the ONT (small white box) installed inside too.

Been watching every single video you guys have uploaded since October last year and got to be honest, i generally enjoy watching these, its almost a duty for me to watch these now on a regular basis which is a good thing. I had a question i remember adam went over to windsor castle and he mentioned there would be a mountain peak video to come soon, have you filmed that yet cos that would be an amazing video 😊

[@AdamKerry2024]

Lol Adam gets many ideas and doesn't always think them through 😂 We are hoping to do more outdoor style videos soon tho it's all time related if we get the time we will film. Cheers for watching and enjoying Adam 😂

[@portman8909]

Huge difference in ping as well. Can't beat the speed of light.

[@xpgamer4759]

Ping is how long it takes for a response between the Internet connection and the website mainly good for online gaming lower the ping the better for gaming and a more smooth experience

[@oeinsmyth6868]

Ping is time taken by data packets generated from user to reach server & back to user. It is measured generally in mili seconds (one thousandth of one second).Originally we had sky to we where meant to get 150mbps down yet we never got over 60mbps down

[@Greeaf69]

its just the time it takes to communicate from your device to the internet lol

[@iancassidy7895]

@@Greeaf69 Hes right but he give an awfully long explanation off it

[@jdsimp4179]

FYI @all pinging is 4 gamers to know about, mainly . means, lower ping, better online gameplay. for normal person, it means nuffink.😃

[@jimwood1968CDcollectorCAVE]

Very interesting we switched to Ultrafast. It was ok for awhile at 149.5 Download in a Bungalow. Now the most we get is 92.5 download. Iv'e tried all sorts to rectify it to no avail. This is on main PC right next to the Fibre coming in.

[@societywtf6797]

Never use the ISP's Router it's crap, always buy your own and it should be way better, also make sure it has wifi 6.

[@jdsimp4179]

@jimwood1968CDcollectorCAVE what i found is if you get under 100mb/s dl speed, check your ethernet settings, for windows/mac/linux/android. increasing duplex settings fixed it for me. Now i get close to 150mb/s on my ultrafast.

[@philipgilligan_art]

Nice one, no fibre to the house here yet sadly

[@ktidharvey1228]

the little grey box that got installed where does that cable run too?

[@weld3z]

Ping was 82 now 10 that's real impressive

[@drewgilker417]

your a funny guy . you should have your own tv show

[@michaelkwesienchill4769]

Sky ULTRA FAST SHOULD BE AROUND 500mbps and not 159mbps for £45 or so except if you are paying way less and GIGAFAST is £58 for 900mbps assuming you have the modern fibre optics cables running to your house because i can see you have the small white box with the three green lights also installed on your wall close to your router...My speed is the 500mbps which has never dropped down below 400mbps except if sky is down for Routine maintenance or router firmware upgrades and to maintain flawless internet and wireless coverage i use ASUS WIFI 6 AND WIFI 6E AIMESH ROUTERS which gives excellent coverage and performance in and around my house even in the garage

[@cliffyh466]

I found out that if you're using a decent router which you are then the connection and speed is better, I've tried to use the router they provide which is rubbish but not many people know that.

[@carljackson5259]

Paying 40 quid, I’ve got no TV I’ve got no phone line just the Internet

[@jjpro9022]

bro in paris the company orange has a deal for like 30 euros which gives you 500mbps

[@harrycayless988]

The uk is just sooooooooooo expensive.

[@atomictransfusion]

you can get 500 megabits symmetrical for 20-25 euros in czechia but idk how much coverage there is compared to orange fr and openreach

[@xboxrave1194]

We had sky ultrafast broadband and we had copper coming into the Home and Fiber to the cabinet and we got 160 down and upload was 30 it would go up and down the upload speed l am a gander it took me 3 hours to download a game and we left at them

[@carljackson5259]

Well, I’m paying 40 quid for the actual what you’re talking about so I cannot be out happening to me and I’m disabled as well and they said there’s no reduced price

[@Keeko251]

I have had that same box for 2 years 😂😂

[@armanis1234]

good ping where you located?

[@cliffyh466]

I'm getting sky fiber being installed this week, but its gonna be connected to my gaming WiFi network, sky did say about ultra it should be minimum 100mbs

[@lauriannajones]

How is the Sky broadband for you so far?

[@Sea23807]

Got ultra fibre a month ago and have no difference of speed from old Wi-Fi. Is this a problem?

[@jordanrockett8877]

I would say definitely a problem, and you may want to call your isp. it sounds like you might not be getting the speeds you're paying for. but without being in your home, i can't advise any fuirther.

[@maximusg88]

Probably got thick walls and poor WiFi home network

[@ohthechitchat]

Do you still need an aerial for this?

[@jamesbreen8997]

No

[@elboxroblox360]

My dream ping is 50 below, my current ping 20099999099, talk talk sucks

[@jonathan75801]

Sky broadband is terrible but tv is great.

[@lauriannajones]

Have you moved from Sky?

[@weeally46]

You are too close to focus.
