Sky Broadband Dynamic Line Management
If you're on Sky Broadband, you would be well advised to leave your router on for the next 7-10 days. They have started some DLM (Dynamic Line Management) stuff, and this will go on for at least 10 days. Turning your router on and off over this period would make it appear as if your line is unstable, and they will keep reducing the connection speed. I noticed my already slow 2.5meg connection reduce steadily to 1.5meg over the last 3 days, and checked the Sky forums for clues. I then called Sky, and they confirmed that the DLM is on, and has pegged my line at 1.5meg (for the time being). After the DLM stuff is over, it will return to the original speed (or even a higher speed) it is alleged. We shall see ...

Re: Sky Broadband Dynamic Line Management
I've heard of DLM reducing line speeds by quite a lot, I'm too close to the exchange with too high sync for it to be used on my line. Their normally quite good at listening to their customers though, they improved the ping on my line by lower the max delay from 32 to 8, but if your not a gamer then that won't matter.
