FTTC on a currently poor line


[re: blinky] [link to this post]
 
Have no fear, your distances are exactly the same as mine. I was getting between 3-4mb on ADSL.

Since swapping to Infinity Option 2 last week my speeds are now at a steady 70mb Download and 18mb Upload. speedtest.net shows my speed as 39mbps but I download via direct link sites at 8.8MBps. If you know you MegaBytes from your Megabits then you would know to the the calculation of 8.8MB x 8 = 70.4mbps.

This is due to the fact that there are 8 'bits' in a 'Byte' and what we care about is the Bytes, ISP's like to show off with 'bits'.

MB = MegaByte
mb = Megabit.

WRONG

MB = MegaByte
Mb = Megabit

mb = millibit

Just a quick note. Our Infinity install was completed today. Initial test was around the 60Mb mark but it seems to have settled to around 45-50Mb. Certainly an improvement on the 0,25Mb we'd been suffering on ADSL.

The Openreach said there were no issues on the line so the issues must have been on the line between the cabinet and the Fencehouses exchange.
