Sky internet is terrible i download 2 games and it completely slows down my internet even after i paus the downloads or turn off my system it still keeps that same speed
might be a router issue. is the router firmware up to date. is it a good router... get them to send you another one if its no good. Also are you doing this gaming wired or wifi... as wifi aint good!
truthseekers666 thats what i though with my nans wifi so i bought her a smart hub yesterday will be giving it to her on friday as i think her smart hub 5 is faulty as i have always though that as the speeds are literally 003 004 005 mbg which really is bad the only thing that is good is the upload speed but download has always been terrible i hope it works otherwise i have wasted money. 😬
@Nathan_1617 aka Skeleratis and Nathan Wig prety much yeah nowadays we upgraded to a better model now and it runs much better still has a few problems but not to the extent of our last Internet
Quick update. BT Homehub 6 (as supplied with BT Infinity) does not allow you to change the DNS servers so you have to change them on every connected device. However, I found that OpenDNS was faster than Google's public DNS. OpenDNS does some phishing site filtering though. Not sure what Google filter with theirs.
I just did it as you said. My BT service was quick enough, but had to try it to see if there was any improvement at all. I am well impressed as there seems to still be an improvement on all pc's and the phones here. Have to say that Ive been with BT and predecessors for 20 odd years. Shit as they may be Ive stuck with them! Ive had so many rediculas issues with them over the years...but know no better, so when problems have occurred I have hounded them relentlessly to put them right! ....and usually come out on top. I took the offer of fibre from them about 6 years ago. Even tho I was getting gigantic scores on many diferent speed tests their so called high speed fibre was deffinitly NOT faster than my usual broadband. I hoofed it back at them pronto. 6 months ago I believed the new offer of the much improved fibre offer. Even I questioned that the phone wire coming into my house was at least 30 years old...and questioned "How possible was I going to benefit from their fibre with this feeble wire coming into my house" They convinced me to give it a try, on the 14 day trial process. because of the similar cost to my existing broadband I went for it. Mmmmmm....Im happy enough with it to be honest. I loved the principle of the point of your vid....so had to give it a try. It DOES work! Thank you for that my friend.
Thanks, really made a difference for me as i'm one of those unhappy BT customers. I was getting 5.1 Mbps download over wifi, now getting 51.87 Mbps. That's a big difference. Thanks for posting the video.
Wow I don't have this exact problem but if I did then I would use this video for sure it seems very helpful and you're really thorough but also to the point at the same time this is amazing
If I were you, I'd just call in before you pay for your next update plan, and just say you'd like help on closing your account with TalkTalk. Give it like a week or two, and just hope that they're weak enough to want to bribe you back by giving you great deals. But as a disclaimer, my dad tried this with Sky as he had to pay a shit tonne per month for his next monthly plan. Unfortunately Sky didn't budge D:
@@nickwhetstone3571 Bet its not really fiber , like a lot of people its only fiber from the exchange .Most old properties still have copper cable from house to lamp post and probably lam post to the exchange
I have Sky and to be fair it serves my needs pretty well usually.Ive noticed of late google and YT hang more and I suspect throttling may be occuring.Would your top tip work for other providers gifting similar problems as BT dole out? Cheers always love your no crap presentations.
Thank you for that as BT has cost me alot of money just lately in tec lets just say I've broken a Laptop and smashed a screen on a tablet as I've lost my rag with them
Hi Matthew, like your videos thumbs UP from me, Only thing I find about your videos is the swearing, I would love to tell my Grandson to watch them to pick your tips up but hes only 7 and I wouldnt want his Mum blaming me ( and you) for picking up bad language. Keep them coming but please try to calm the swearing.
I used to be with bt but am now with plusnet. Much better for me especially when gaming online. Hardly any disconnects and pages open in an instant and I have the same upstream and download speeds as before. And half the price of bt!
Used opendns a very very very long time ago and switched to google dns when it became available only difference I have it changed on my DHCP server so every device gets assigned google dns
WWE Plug Click Wi-fi in settings. Find the router you are currently using. Hit the ‘i’ ok far right of your router. Find DNS and click Manuel. Type in 8888 and away ya go!
So far BT has been good for me, the speed is good and unlike Virgin, who I was with before, they don't throttle me down. I was with NTL for years and they were very good, fast and reliable with no data caps. Inevitably though they were taken over by Virgin and the service started slipping, sure the speeds were ok just as long as you didn't actually use it. If I used it for anymore than an hour it would get throttled back, making anything I was doing way more difficult than it should have been. This went on for about a year until I'd finally had enough and I told them where to stick their service and joined BT, that was over 3 years ago now and so far I've been very happy with them.
Thats speed of standard ADSL... what is often offered to villages etc. 1.5mb is adequate to watch youtube... but the slower upload speed means slow uploads to youtube and probably not able to stream yourself live on youtube.
BT filter at a DNS level. That is how they block certain web sites or redirect to copyright warning pages. This has to be part of the problem. You can change the name servers at the router so they are DHCP'd to all devices that connect to it. It is not just BT. I can remember in the old days Demon Internet did not update their DNS for days so if you moved a web site you wouldn't be able to traceroute to the new location for days. I think BT is quite slow at updating too - based on my experience at work.
Thanks Gordon. What ive notied is you can wait 30 seconds sometimes on some peoples BT broadbands and after putting in alternate DNS the pages come up immediately. Have you found it works for you sometimes. I would suggets giving it a go on stubborn installations of BT. You will still get the blocks on some pages with copyright but for some reason it all speeds up after tring other DNS... so gawd knows why, but it really does work.
Yes, it is very inconsistent. I have been using alternative DNS from practically day one with BT. I would need to switch back to test it again! I am on Infinity and getting about 78mbit on a wired connection, but it is pricey and when something goes wrong, like it did last week, you are in call centre hell.
How far is your exchange? As mine is less than 100 yards and the best I get is 57 megabit on Infinity 2, sooo pissed of with BT for that. They are total crap and saying that because my "CONNECTION" speed is 63 they won't refund and terminate the contract without any fees, I was promised 70-80 and my neighbour has 80!!! also the engineer was at my premises, replaced the socket and no issues were found at MY premises.
Talk talk isn’t shit 🤣🤣🤣 they gave me good internet at first then went shit and phones ne asking if I wanted fibre.i said yes and it gave me decent internet but nothing compared to when I first joined and what do you know a month down the line I was back to shit speeds again...
40mbps that’s shite, I mean for fiber optic it’s shit. I’m currently just on normal old lines because my ISP is lazy as shit and can’t be bothered to fuckin install the fukin fiber.
if your with talktalk and have the D-LINK 3872 ROUTER here is the website you need to change the DNS on it 192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/New_GUI/Dns.asp if you changed your IP address change the part 192.168.1.1 to whatever it is then log in as you normally would using the info from the back of the router click Use the following DNS Server address type in 8.8.8.8 for Preferred DNS server then 208.67.222.222 Alternate DNS server click save and reboot your router
30 down 2 up, lmao, looks like the TalkTalk hate i see everywhere is justified. When you've even got customers of such a terrible ratio saying "look my internet is amazing, its 30up and 2down", what a clueless joke.
38mbps is not actually that great, well maybe in jan 2017, i,ve had 80mbps for a couple years, well 79mbps down and 20 up, i mean fair enough, 38 down and 1,79 up is probably good for some people, but i still want better when i can get it. But we have 3 pc,s that stream and download constantly, multiple phones, laptops, lots of stuff. And im with BT and have never had a problem at all.
38 is just horrible man, look at the 3rd world countries like Estonia, they have 500 already and had 100 megabit since 2003 and no fiber SHITE bullcrap, just pure CHEAP CAT5E cable which is bloody good enough for 1 gigabit, by the time the UK will hit 1 Gigabit limit we'll be all long dead.

Thanks a million, with BT infinity 2, together with there Smart Hub, you just improved my speed massively - Top Man!!
same here. Very good tip. it's way faster now.
I love this guy hahahahahhaah
This man is a legend 😂😂😂
I'm currently getting the deliberate slow speeds from Talktalk in order to get me to pay extra for Fibre.

thank you - this is working for me,thank you,it fixed my slow connection
Thank you for that as BT has cost me alot of money just lately in tec lets just say I've broken a Laptop and smashed a screen on a tablet as I've lost my rag with them
I try not to get like that these days, but its hard when dealing with idiots
I was getting around 500 - 1000kb but now I’m at about 5 - 10mb huge difference
Thanks
Thanks man
This guy is a fucking legend😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes when im connected to my Bt wifi its so bad it says "connected, No internet"
This guys too good how's he barely got any subscribers
youre amazing
Perfect for me.....on my MacBook Pro! 😂. Thanks matey. 👍👍👍
Cant find the DNA settings on Windows 10 , any idea where I find them please .,

My internet is fine.. I just stayed coz this guy makes internet problems sound fucking entertaining😂😂
Should I switch from bt to virgin

This guys says what we think about bt and sky
Saved my life 😂

thanks mate
For me it was working fine, until we missed a payment made the payment again and it started being shit
The last video I watched this guy had hair. BT what have you done to this man.
On BT I get 0.2 download and 0.3 upload it’s fucked
I came for sky
if only bt saw this
can there shit dns cause your internet to drop out?
Only if you type in the ADDRESS and the website won't load, if you type in the IP directly in to your browser the DNS wouldn't matter at all.
5:52 lol
How to you do this on iPhone?
WWE Plug Click Wi-fi in settings. Find the router you are currently using. Hit the ‘i’ ok far right of your router. Find DNS and click Manuel. Type in 8888 and away ya go!

I'm using sky fibre with 50mb up and about 20mb upload and it's still shit lmao
I'm on sky and ever since I was forced to upgrade from sky hub 2.0 to 4.0 it's been absolutely CRAP. + you make your videos like it's my fault :P
I get around 150 down and 20+ up on bt fttc with gfast fast enough for me!!
done it but hasn't made the slightest difference
Still doesn’t work worth a damn. I’m on rise broadband. I’ve called them and they just make bullshit excuses. Any tips to help me?
Thats a shame... you do need to call them a number of times to get an engineer to visit usually twice before they will start swapping out lines.
Matthew Williams called them about 20 times. They have sent engineers out twice and he said there was a bad wire but he said he “fixed” it. Assholes
My download speed after this is 1.5mbps and uplaod speed is 447.9 kbps. Is this good I'm with sky
Thats speed of standard ADSL... what is often offered to villages etc. 1.5mb is adequate to watch youtube... but the slower upload speed means slow uploads to youtube and probably not able to stream yourself live on youtube.

I have bt and I get like 300 download speed and 50 upload speed which isn’t that bad
the speed is shit on my phone and tablet aswell.
Any reason as to why you're still using Windows 7?
Do you suggest 8? or may be the brand new edition of steal my data and share my passwords worldwide 10?
7 is stable and no fuss. I dont like the bullshit of windows 10 and im not being disctated to if i have updates or not. NO FUCKING WAAAAAAAAY l-)))
BT is that shit my speed is 0.29Mbps, my mum docent what to call them up because the'll just ask for more money, someone need to fucking sue BT
Ur a f ing genius
