Title: Sky 16MB Max Beware!
If your signing up to the Sky\'s MAX 16MB package beware.

If the sky 16MB ADSL2+ servers has reached it\'s capacity at your exchange, they will put you on the 8MB (which is ADSL2), but still charge you for the 16MB.
They will not let you downgrade to the 8MB service either.

They have done that to me, they tell me that my line is not capable of supporting speeds faster than 6.5MB.

I know that is load of rubbish, because with my previous ISP Be, I was connecting at around 16.5MB and, actually managed download speeds around 14Mbps.

My lines downstream attenuation is 25db with this I should be able to get between 12-16Mbps.
