[OT] Sky Broadband

["keyvan2r" <keyvan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just got my Sky Broadband going using a branded Netgear router pre-
configured by Sky. It's interesting that they (Sky) do not allow you to
use your own equipment nor do they supply admin access to the router so
settings can be changed.
I wanted to see what speed I am getting as I opted for the 16Mb
unlimited option. According to the upnp pop up it's at 7.2mb (no
indication of upload/download speed) - may be I am too far from my
local exchange to get the higher speeds :-(

Any thoughts how I might improve on this??

Thanks
