I am on a 40/10 EE Contract., Brightbox 2, Both 5 GHz & 2.4 GHz WiFi, simultaneous.

W 8.1 HP Tower on Ethernet
Typically 36.5 Mbps Down, 9.0 Mbps Up.


W 7 Laptop Downstairs, WiFi on 5 GHz
29.3 Mbps Down, 8.9 Mbps Up, 43 ms Ping, 4 Bars

Same Laptop on WiFi 2.4 GHz
27.8 Mbps Down, 8.2 Mbps Up, 50 ms Ping, 5 Bars

---------------------------

Previous testing of the two WiFi circuits around the house, garden etc showed that on Signal Strength, the 5 GHz WiFi was generally 10 db below the 2.4 GHz, ie that the 5 GHz signal was lower/weaker, using inSSIDer to get the measurements on that same laptop.

You'll only get ac wireless from the HH5 if you have a compatible wireless card. BT does a USB dongle which can access this and it's very good. Check the speed from router to card and if it's in the hundreds of Mbs you have ac.

Bearing in mind that it is the EE Bright Box 2 that I am using, depending on the settings in both bands, I get either 144 Mbps or 300 Mbps, checking with both inSSIDer and ACRYLIC.



Just checked on the BB2
