Speed Help

[#1]

Hello
Yesterday after noon my router light went off just the internet light (im using a voyager 2110) and kept going off every half a hour then it stopped doing it so frequent its like once every 2 hours.
my speed when online is less than 200kbps i have not gone over my usage either.
I had sky TV installed last week but i dont think that has anything to do with it because the problem would of occured during the week.
Reply plz
Thanks.

Despite your suggestion that the Sky installation isn't the problem.
Is the Sky box properly filtered.
I would try disconnecting the Sky box from the phone line and see if things improve

[#3]

Yeh its connected to the filter.
I just unplugged the sky cable and there is no change.

I've seen suggestions that some Sky boxes need double-filtering to suppress their interference with broadband adequately. If you've got a spare filter try that, but make sure your broadband is in the filter that's plugged directly into the master socket or you'll kill it.

I dont get it  its been fine all week not one problem, i have iused the broadban fault checker and nothing is up.
Il try the filter thing mate.

[#6]

I have tried it with the sky line in on its own with a filter plugged into the other filter and there still no speed change.

I am a bit confused.
I don't have Sky - so I don't know the full installation details
I assume your Sky box is connected to the dish and with a separate connection to the phone line and this is what you refer to as the Sky line.
Did the Sky installer just connect the box to an existing phone socket or wire back to the master socket.
As a last resort can you remove the lower half of the master socket and connect the modem to that. This should bypass everything in your house although I have heard of Sky installers connecting directly to the BT wires which is illegal

Thats what he done for me, but yesterday my speed dropped and my interlight would go off as well as my dsl light.

That definitely sounds like hte sky box adding noise to the line and causing intermittent sync.
There's a post on here where someone (might be Oldjim) has double filtered a fax machine to avoid this sort of thing and it's worked quite well - could you try putting the sky box through the phone side of another microfilter (as well as the one that's fitted) and let us know if that doesn't help?

[#10]

Yes it was me but people keep misreading my post so I will modify it.

[#11]

Apologies Jim, sorry about that 
I still think it's a good idea though, even if it's not a direct report of it being successful.

When you said there is no change was that there was no improvement when you ran a speed test or that your sync speed reported by your router/modem did not improve?

[#13]

My speed is still low using the two microfilters.

[#14]

Just as a check - I assumed that when you quoted speeds that these were synch speeds not speedtest results.
Can you confirm that and also quote the stats from your router (speeds, attenuation and noise margin). If you don't know how to get them have a look here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.htm
