ADSL can be a fickle beast, even my neighbour (semi-detached property) only gets 6Mbit with Orange and I used to get 8~9Mbit with O2 and the telegraph poll feeding the cable to my house is right outside, this side of the road and equal distance between the two houses.<br /> <br /> If it doesn't improve, moving away from Sky might help, but it also might not and you might be stuck with whatever you've got now. Not saying you will, just don't go expecting miracles.<br /> <br /> Would certainly be worth doing what Serg said and trying to find where the cable goes. Regardless of where your BT master socket is, you may still have some other kind of terminal box somewhere (even outside) that is causing problems, although you're in a flat aren't you(?), so that might be a problem.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=38978.20&return_msg=38978.17" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="38978.20"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a38978_21"></a><div class="message" id="message_38978_21"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 3 Oct 2011 19:01</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Matt <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 3 Oct 2011 19:22"></span></span> <span class="message_count">21 of 30</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38978.21">38978.21</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38978.17#a38978_20" target="_self">38978.20</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <p>Nah, she lives on the other side of Edinburgh and is quite a bit from the exchange.</p> <p> </p> <p>I'll wait for Sky to email back, or give them a call tomorrow if I get bored (and can find a phone to plug in to the line).</p> <p> </p> <p>There's absolutely nothing on the line within my flat, except the master socket.
