Ironman Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Someone want to explain this wan. So I got BT Fibre optic installed today and I'm getting speeds like this... http://www.speedtest.net'> What life is this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 thats pain but the guy did tell me that it can take up to 10 days for speeds to propagate (or whatever he said i wasnt really paying attention) but mine hit the speed in my sig the first time he connected it to the comp, so i guess its down to the exchange/green box thingy (forget the term) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I wasn't even home when guy installed it, so I don't even know if he checked. I'm getting the same speeds as I had with BE. Teh fuck if they think I'm having that give a couple days and if it hasn't improved, I want my contract cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 nah that's expected of through telephone wires though, if you're getting less than half on optic fibre you need a new provider what did they estimate your speed at before you bought it?

Yeah - I'm on fibre. (this is connecting via wifi) Tbh I've no idea. We've been with Virgin since 56k dial up (NTL). Speeds been increased for free several times over the years. One time a guy came out to fix the tv and was like 'oh you still have THAT old modem?' gave us a new box and the speed went up. Had a look at my account and boy...the deals new customers are offered shit all over what I'm on. I need to speak to retentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Lads. At my girls house, cable is out of the question as she lives over rail lines. What are the best providers for non-fibre broadband? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
