Ah ok thanks will try that. Didnt know that would work if my ISP require username/password for the router

You will still need to put the username/password in

Ah ok thank you

Looks fine to me.

Circa 90% on single threaded, pretty good, saturation on multi threaded, happy days right?

Multithreas and single appear to be the same, unless im not reading it right. Both about 71Mbps

My ISP replied and said its not uncommon for speeds to start slower and build up over the weeks to the full speed. Never heard that before?

Either way yes im happy with 71Mbps just thought it would be close to 78Mbps

for xDSL based lines, yes that is correct but not for fttp lines.

I personally wouldn't be happy with 71Mbps on FTTP but happy for you.

I could pay for more speed, but when i live alone and only really use my connection for browsing and 1 Netflix stream, dont really need much more

It wasn't the 80Mbps product I was referring too but the actual FTTP speed of 71Mbps that I would be disappointed with if it was advertised as 80Mbps. If you bought a box of 8 cakes and when you looked inside one was missing how would you feel. On Plusnet they advertise the equivalent service as 74Mbps which I think is more honest considering the overheads.

I think most ISPs seem to advertised the theoretical throughout, rather than actual throughput including overheads etc
