Unlike FTTC would normally expect to see the speeds slightly higher than package speed, say 152/32, but that's just nitpicking as you wouldn't notice the differance.

TBH i never checked the advertised upload speed so did wonder why there was such a huge difference when i did my first speed test, having checked i can see its close enough

TalkTalk Fibre 150

Average download speed
152Mbps

Average upload speed
30Mbps

FTTP 37ms ping? Thought Openreach FTTP ping always get 8ms or less? I use to have G.fast 160/30 then 330/50 as both are less than 10ms ping!

Then you thought wrongly.

The main factor is where you live. If you're in Scotland or NI then you can easily see 15ms+ ping to London.

Light in glass travels at approximately 2/3c, or about 200,000km/s. Since we're measuring round-trip times that works out at about 1ms for every 100km. But that's just the fibre propagation; it doesn't include intervening electrical devices, or that the fibre path is not in a straight line.

In this case, the poster said they are doing tests over wifi which could also add substantial latency.

This is a different speed test i regularly use - 10ms ping

A heads up if you switch to the eero router have a Freesat set top box and see Commscope in the connected devices list in the eero app.

Thanks Taras, i hope it saves some customers pulling their hair out trying to find the answer it took me way too much time, many searches then the help from great members here to get to the bottom of it.

Hi, i forgot about this thread the speeds have been rock steady at 150 Mbps for a while now not sure why the two i posted earlier were lower.
