How to apply sky fiber plan 999
Even with 80mb down and 15mb up there is still a problem with latency. Apparently Sky has no idea what size the buffer needs to be to reduce lag. They could invest in better modems that have SQM (smart queue management) that would eliminate the buffer bloat problem but pretty sure that ain’t happening. Most speed test sites only measure ping at the start of the test but DSLreports measures your latency under load to see if it increases while downloading and uploading. I get grades of F and D usually due to increased latency under load.
calling their brand “fiber” is very misleading and purely marketing in terms of infreustructure their internet is ran through their cable network, a cable type ISP is the lowest in terms of tiers of internet because unlike DSL or XDSL or whatever the new standard is called for those dsl based ISP when you have a connection through dsl the connection routes directly to the ISP or goes to the isp per line connection. compared to cable based connection which is what sky uses it uses an ad-hoc like system so imagine a pipe it goes one way then suddenly the pipe splits to 7 different direction this way you get a bottle neck unlike when you have an ISP that uses pure fiber or dsl tech the ‘pipe’ goes from ISP to YOU this is why people who are on sky have ‘peak houres speeds’ if you talk to anyone on sky internet, this is because of the ad-hoc nature of cable internet.
Yes, it is really deceiving. Their infrastructure for residential access service distribution is not full “fiber”, they use COAXIAL (DOCSIS). They may use fiber optic for long backhaul from CO to the area of distribution.
It is very easy for the common people to be deceived by reading from the flyers “Fiber”, in customer’s mind they might think that this is really a fiber connection (fiber-to-the-home), but in reality it is just a coaxial (copper) going to the customer’s premise.
IMHO, they should stop from branding themselves as “fiber”, where in fact only a few of residential areas has FTTH deployments by Sky, maybe a few condo where a fiber patch panels were installed and cable ducts using fiber optic cable going to the units.
DOCSIS (coaxial) connection is prone to congestion, it kinda resembles into a water pipe effect. In a DOCSIS infrastructure, a coaxial splitter is installed to extend the ports and its easily done. It is also prone to signal noise which is the result of oversplitting, Yikes!
hfs. I just applied for the 120 MBPS since PLDT does not have any port availability and Converge have no idea why I’m having intermittent connection. LOL
