Re: Switching from FTTP to SIM based Broadband

Funny you should mention that as neighbour has recently had them install his and he is over the moon with it. Apparently he and his son get 10% off their EE mobile contracts.

I can certainly try as I recently purchased an iMac.

Is av Anti Virus?


Don't worry about the anti virus.

You said you brought an iMac, is this a new one (2023) or a 2nd hand one ?, its mostly to know what to say next .

HK11,

I found one of your earlier posts - looks like you had just had VF FTTP installed in Dec 2022.

https://forums.thinkbroadband.com/vodafone/t/4726986...

Looks like FTTP https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16706582403... was marginally better than your ADSL https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/15997670858...

But then VF did something and you achieved...36/9 with a large latency
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16706966657...

Can you remember what devices you used for this test? Was the device wired with an ethernet cable, e.g. desktop or laptop computer? Was it a wireless device like an Ipad or laptop using wifi? If it was a wireless device, was the device right next to the router?

It's always best to use a wired connection for speed tests.

The last VF speed test in Dec 2022 shows speeds matching the VF package. I wonder what has changed?

I was just checking if that was what you meant.

The iMac is an old one: I am into retro machines.

Yes, been with Vodafone for about six months.

Yes, I have mentioned the connection being only slightly better than ADSL with Plusnet two years ago in several posts.

Yes they did something when I first complained (via webchat, I think).

Have always used iPads since moving here. My server was running Debian, but I took that down a couple of years ago.

All my tests have been on the IPads and usually right next to the router.

I can only assume the local FTTP network is becoming clogged as people are forced off of ADSL, but it is never wise to assume in this game. wink

Thanks. I'll switch it on and see if that helps.
