BENORMOUS Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Gone from 80/20 with sky down to 40/10 free of charge and my contract doesn't restart a fresh 12 months still finishes in June and that's when ill be off,most inconsistent piece of crap I've ever had to deal with,one week plays ok next week first 2 bullets won't register,apart the obvious speeds being different withing my router stats my noise levels are too very different,can this have any effect on my experience when gaming?not had chance to try it yet and won't til probably Thursday,download and upload noise db have gone way higher than they were before,does it meen anything?

Zennon Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Your noise margin is higher because there is lots of headroom left as you are capped. A larger margin is better as it has more db for noise to eat into if you have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENORMOUS Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ah I see,yeah downstream noise margin was 6 on fibre pro it's now 17.5db and 22db on the upstream,big change on both,also just done diagnosis on netduma and ping is 10 when yesterday it was 13?I don't understand it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENORMOUS Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm putting this on here for anyone who may have been having the same issues as me,as I said the 80/20 package was inconsistent,since I've been downgraded to the 40/10 my connection has been very solid and I've had better hit detection and games than I ever did when on the pro,not sure if my line just wasn't made for those speeds or what but I'm moving round the map like butter,with downgrading I would think I've had a DLM reset on my line so things could still change but as of now I'm still on Exceptional across the board with a 10ping.my k.d on black ops3 says it all,I've moved it up by 0 4 in the last 2 days Very happy gamer here........For now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I joined with SKY I went for the 80/20 as they said they could offer it but as it turns out their data was wrong and the most I could get was 40/10 which I have been on since day 1. Never had any issues at all and gaming is great. Maybe they're pushing the limits too much with the 80/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleightofdean Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I get 75/19 (8.9db/11.9db) with Sky and it plays great. Probably the 80/20 package was pushing your line too much and by downgrading the resulting noise margins have given your connection better stability.

Yeah maybe so,I was getting the full 80000 down and 19999 upstream with 6.1db for down and 17.5db for up.I've always believed that connection was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
