FTTP. I believe they call it 36/9 but just their vesion of 40/10 I believe.

Then your internet are fine. Nothing wrong with it.

I agree with Max that there is nothing wrong with your Vodafone Broadband speeds.

You've messed so many people about trying to help you, on this forum and others, I think it is time to apologise for wasting everyone's time.

" I thought wifi was meant to be the connection of the future "

Can't be futuristic if using antique devices.

Confused here. Is this a result from an FTTP connection (as the thread title suggests) or FTTC? I know nothing but I thought a FTTP 40:10 service would actually provide 40:10. The results look like FTTC to me.

And then again, wouldn't you expect the full 10 up on a FTTC connection anyway?

It’s a FTTP line.

Vodafone sell their version of 40/10 as 36/9.

Most providers guarantee a minimum DL speed but I am not aware of any that guarantee the UL.

Openreach sell both FTTC FTTP 40/10 with 38/9 throughput speed. Stop messing around ok. Don't get too stressed by it. Your internet are fine!

Correction - they advertise 36/9 because of the rules that Ofcom and Advertising Standards Authority enforced a few years ago, aimed at customers knowing the likely speeds they will get on the distant dependent technologies of FTTC (actually VDSL) and ADSL.

Your choice of a low cost ISP is possibly restricting the speeds a bit, and the use of elderly hardware doesn't help.

The Openreach FTTP takes the connection from your home to Vodafone's ISP network (separate from their mobile system), in the same way as in the early 2000s we used to be able to dial up different internet providers.

Once at the ISP the connection to the actual internet and the speeds you get from internet websites such as this, depends how many customers Vodafone are pushing down the pipes they buy from an internet exchange. And people used to dial into different ISPs at different times of the day to get the best speeds.... even on dialup.

I'm sure I read somewhere that BT offered something other than the normal 80/20 and 40/10. Something like 55/15, I think!

Openreach have more products in their catalogue, but ISPs may not bother to purchase them. If Openreach charge an ISP (for example) £10/month for 40/10 and £15/month for 80/20, and £14/month for 55/15, then ISPs may decide its not worth it to them to have the extra cost of an additional product.

Different ISPs will make different decisions, and there are other networks than Openreach.
