Re: FTTC Survey (new)


[re: orly] [link to this post]
 
Trend seems to be less than half getting top speeds in either download or upload.

I'm quite skeptical of the "15mbit or less" numbers however. Seems unlikely that around a quarter of people would be seeing this given the checker usually denying anyone under this threshold.

Why?

1) There are ISPs, such as ourselves, who will take orders below 15Mbps
2) This could show (as we are already seeing) that there are places within the UK where slowdowns are already starting to appear on FTTC
3) The speedtest checker does not deny results below 15Mbps and neither does the Availability checker.

Indeed...but as no one who voted for Aquiss stated they get 15mbit or less, that rules you out so far.

Most of them are from BT users...and BT won't let you order Infinity if it suggests you'll get less than this speed without a fight. So either people are just leaving it on the default option in the poll or are getting slow speeds from any speedtest they run.

Updated the survey to include UTV who now provide FTTC products. Thanks to Nelix01 for letting me know. If there are any other ISPs I'm unaware of, please let me know.

(Robertos, you might want to add UTV to your site too)

Done.

Never been so happy to fill in a survey! smile

Now have your IP address muhahaha. Nah, won't be divulging it or doing anything naughty. It's just used to verify the IP is from the UK or to spot duplicate voters

Thanks for voting. Everyone else do the same!

duplicates


[re: orly] [link to this post]
 
Did a bit of spring cleaning and removed some duplicates that people were putting in.

If you want your entry updated/removed just send an email as the line at the bottom of the website asks wink

Shouldn't be a problem. The form as it's currently designed shouldn't accept duff input.

(Famous last words)

also, bump.
