Hi gary
ive since found out that the noise increases more in evenings , to point i lose as much as another 2Mb in sync rate, I have to reboot router next day to get it back.
So Iam reversing my decision on the "pay-off" because of this, because it means we will accept a pay off and it will get worse and sky will do nothing. I was only happy to leave it if it stayed put... but its deteriating.
I have looked at my neighbours stats again (one on BT) and I can see he DOES have the AM spikes problem... just barely making any impact at all, so little I missed them the first time, another sky user 10 mins away from here back over from exchange (further away) also has them (via QLN stats) but they (again) at much lower noise levels and would barely make an impact on their connection if they were able to get a speed (SNR) good enough to allow it.
so it seems these AM noise spikes affect everyone BUT should only be to the point where it barely makes any impact on performance.. I had them with BT/o2 but again, made no real difference
so, can extra noise on the line increase the levels of the AM Radio noise spikes? I have loads more noise on the line in comparison and because of such the AM Radio spikes are much stronger
Iam going back to the lass 2 doors down who has worse connection than me to extract her QLN/Hlog graphs today...
I have half-talked my partner into ditching sky completely for teh whole lot and going to Virgin for phone & broadband, and getting a Freesat+ box
mine is on left... blue line represents same levels in noise -125dBm (one on right is from connection in estate behind us, 45db line - only getting 4Mb sync)
