So with a line length of 1.1km you'd be shocked to hear of people getting 29 Mbps sync speeds I guess

Then I don't understand this.

Distance to cabinet (metres) Estimated downstream connection speed Estimated upstream connection speed Cumulative %'age of premises at this distance
100m 100 Mbps 25 Mbps 5%
150m 80 Mbps 20 Mbps 10%
200m 65 Mbps 18 Mbps 20%
300m 45 Mbps 17 Mbps 30%
400m 42 Mbps 16 Mbps 45%
500m 38 Mbps 15 Mbps 60%
600m 35 Mbps 14 Mbps 70%
700m 32 Mbps 11 Mbps 75%
800m 28 Mbps 10 Mbps 80%
900m 25 Mbps 9 Mbps 85%
1000m 24 Mbps 8 Mbps 90%
1250m 17 Mbps 5 Mbps 95%
1500m 15 Mbps 4 Mbps 98%

How does one achieve 29 Mbps when 1.1km=1100 meters? Your website chart is showing between 17-24 Mbps at that distance.

If I am in Commercial Street and that new cabinet is 0.4 miles to property. Then I should be getting between 32-35Mbps at the very best. If I get higher than that I can see max around 40Mbps but I am still sceptical even at 0.4 miles. Because in other threads others are saying no chance for anything higher than 29Mbps at 0.3 miles!

I've been searching other threads in this forum from people living 0.3 miles from their cabinets and their best results would be 30Mbps.

Hi
Can you provide links to such threads pls? I'm really intrigued to know who's only getting 30 Mbps on a 482 metres (0.3 miles) long FTTC line.
Cheers

... According to google maps my cabinet is approx 0.3 miles following the pretty direct road route to the cabinet, which seems to be the way the phone lines run. Hopefully that indicates that I should get a speed hopefully in excess of 30MB, I get approx 14MB on my current ADSL2+ connection.

Happy Days!


30MB - no chance. 30Mbps probably, and potentially 40Mbps if it is .3 mile.

That's what he's saying 30Mb no chance. I'm a little confused. But then says potentially 40Mbps. At 0.3 miles 482 meters it should be realistic. But at 0.4 miles that's 643 meters which lowers the speed to around 30Mbps.

"The distance estimates are designed so that we expect the vast majority to exceed these guideline figures"
They are not the best expected connection rates

30MB is MegaByte/s rather than 30 Megabit/s. And that does not seem to be quoting an actual connection rate

You do know the difference between 30MB and 30 Mbps?

[edit: beaten to it by Witchunt!]

Can you actually provide proof of someone getting only 30 Mbps on a 482m long FTTC line? eg through line stats.

I guess I misread that! I know the difference between MB and Mbps. Mbps is Mega bits per second rather than Mega Bytes.

I forgot that he mentions MB instead of Mbps, hence my wrong impression.

But anyway 0.4 Miles =643.7376 Meters. I will be getting lower speeds than 40Mbps. I can't find much information from others what speeds they get. But hopefully around 30Mbps should be realistic. If I get higher than that it would be amazing. But I have to also add several travelling meters up the building as well as I live in high rise flat which will also artificially increase the distance to the cabinet which might reduce the speeds a little bit further.

And gravity might decrease the data rate received but might atualy make the upload faster

Until you know for sure whether this cabinet is for you, I would stop giving yourself an ulcer trying to work it all out.
