That brings a whole new range of what is physically possible.

Such as?!

It's only a trial because Plusnet cannot call it anything else because they've not launched the product yet. 5 years and it's still going...

In terms of everything else, it's identical (Plusnet's end) to FTTC.

It's not identical, it's similar. It's a trial.

In what way is it a trial?

In what way does it bring a whole new range of what is physically possible. ?

Some Hyperoptic users are seeing 1Gbps up and 1Gbps down on fibre. What are you seeing?

I don't suppose you've noticed that speedtest is showing 70 Mbps?

Yes but only when multi-threaded, and even then throughput over a longer time still shows lower levels of throughput and is inconsistent during peak times
But is consistent outside peak times and the test result shows that the single threaded throughput is consistent too,and is near the max what i should be getting, unlike at peak times

Out side peak time

And these peak time issues such as last night, rendered my connection not fit for purpose for over 1hr , video streaming was interrupted frequently, not buffering but would stall instead ,and flag up some error message

Hello Roberto

You are right - it means don't use the connection between 8.59 and 10.01 except for one speedtest. Plusnet have a breakdown of usage per hour, upload and download.

They check you did the test when you said you did it, and that no other activity "skewed the result".

I was asked to do the same when dealing my parents' slow speeds on Plusnet.

So they assume that the end user does'nt have a clue,?when most do ,
As anyone who knows what is attached to their home network, knows how to ensure that nothing else is using bandwidth ,when the speedtest is carried out , Certainly no need not to use what you have paid for for several hrs, that's total nonsense Unless they are thinking that your bandwidth is being shared without your knowledge, but even then

I'm not with Hyperoptic, I'm with Plusnet.

I have FTTP, not FTTB.

Yes, you already said you have FTTP. I'm asking what speeds are you seeing on the TBB speedtester?
