Fibre to my building, I cut it down after my first 3 months to 150/150 as I couldn't download enough stuff to make 1GB worth it for the price they wanted (£60 a month, still almost less than I was paying BT before for a much worse speed).

Here it is now:

Not the fastest, but it does me ok at the moment...

I ran a test this morning and it was like 58Mbps via Sky.

Before:


After:


Not quite 300mb, but for £34 a month it's less than I was paying BT for 7mb!

That's a very healthy increase in speed.

My internet is around 18Mbps. It's adequate I guess.

The PS4 is only picking up 21mbs on its WiFi connection.
Might have to figure out a way to get a long enough ethernet cable to it.

I don't want to brag but...



This is my home connection. Better yet, we pay about 20 euros a month for it. Unlimited, obviously.

France really has its gooseberry fool together with this stuff.

EDIT: Just seen StayDead's speeds grumblegrumble.

Still!

Don't have much option to be honest - you get the provider that bought the contract for the building. We pay about 20 quid a month for this, and it seems to be fine for gaming.

Mines about 10mbs download and 0.8 uploads, been like it for years and huge downloads are a pain in the ass.

If your mains wiring is up to it, use these:

I think they use some kind of magic to work. Our wiring here is pretty old but they work fine, just plug them straight in the wall rather than into a multi-way as they can be fussy about surge protectors and the like.

EDIT You might want more expensive ones to get the full speed, I think these are for up to 100 Mbs, you need better than that.

Edit 2 : this one I think

So Sky has been awful for a while. Paying £50 a month for supposedly 80mbs. Struggling to stream on a device and get work done.
Sky keep sending me on loops to ' fix it ' for the past 2 months.

So looking for a new provider, currently looking at the m500 package from Virgin. Or should I replace Skys bogstandard router?

70 down, 20 up here. Would like to get something a bit quicker but it does not seem to be an option in my area. Certainly good enough for my requirements though.

I'll be moving to a place that has FTTP. Looking o go with hyperoptic as you can have a rolling contract with them.

+1 for the "Sky internet is gooseberry fool" crew here.

Not bad at the moment

Fed up of our internet being unreliable so looking to switch ISP. Talk Talk seem to offer the best speed and price but I've never been with them as a supplier, any reason to avoid them?

Finally got mesh wifi set up and the results have been great



Almost quadrupled the average speed of the Plusnet router

Pathetic

I’ve been considering doing this too, but every time I look into it, I read that certain kits are not compatible with the Plusnet routers, so I get cold feet. What have you invested in? (And which router do you have?)
