Mb and MB are very different. You most likely have Mb, I can't imagine a world where consumers get MB.

I need more (any) fibre provider... we have nothing but cold hard ADSL at 11Mbps... Laughing So had to speak to Papa Elon and get his Starlink installed.

Checking now I could get up to an oddly precise 1137 Mb for £45/month but I have no use for it. ‘Only’ 52 Mb upload though. Don’t know why it’s different.

Turns out the last few feet are copper, not fibre, which isn’t how I understood the deal but never mind. The engineer spotted that the house had an old ‘CableTel’ cable TV junction box so in effect everything he needed was pre-installed right back to the cover on the pavement. No digging, drilling or other disturbance whatsoever, just noticeably faster broadband. How that previously disused connection links to the fibre network I’ve no idea.

Mine is fibre right into my living room, atwhich point it becomes a standard ethernet cable to the router.

Fibre to the cabinet (in the street) vs. fibre to the premises? Obviously the latter should be quicker but that's when the bottlenecks in the backend get exposed. Virgin used to be terrible in that area when they first started rolling out >100mb connections.

with fiber to home upload should match the download speed

I can’t remember if someone here or in ‘real life’ said this, but supposedly if you’re uploading a lot you’re probably running a business, hence they expect you to pay for a more appropriate business-oriented contract.

It'll be about 20% of the down speed for a domestic user. To be honest the 150 mb download speed I have is fucking rediculous for a domestic user.

We were happily doing all that with copper doing 50mb.

The actual limit is wifi connections. I don't have proper cat 5 cable running round my house and have no intention to put it in so the kids and the wife are restricted to 15mb per connection via the ring main if they are out of reach of the main router in the living room.

We have 3 routers in the house. One downstiars (15mb) one upstairs which shares the 15mb connection with whatever shit No. 2 son is running in his room and the one in the living room which is connected to the fibre.

Potentially there are 15+ devices connected at any given time in this house.

Probably suspect wrong. There is almost no conceivable reason to need more than 1Gb internally in residential. Most consumer (end-user) boards are supporting 2.5Gb, maybe.

Powerline Ethernet adapters run 300 ~ 1000Mbps these days on the same ring. Some models even double as WiFi access points so all one might need is a single CAT5e/6 cable between floors to have full speed everywhere.

I know we are only get 15Mbs cause speed test. I can literally swap between routers on my phone from where I'm sat and do it.

Mind you they are a few years old and no doubt going through the consumer unit isn't helping.

How the fuck can anyone in a domestic environment even use 1Gbps? I downloaded 2 Gb of Mandalorian episode yesterday in about a minute and it barely achieved 15Mbps on the torrent.

i would not down load i would stream it direct from torrent and someone else in house maywell be straiming 30-40gig video file at same time

i would not want less that 50mb for ultra hd 4k and bluerays
i offten downloaad 60gig plus files and stream em from server

theres 4 rooms with 4k pannels and nvidia shild tv box and i also stream games to them via rtx4080 in the main pc and that takes a fair bit at 4k

iv also have 8 cctv hd cams streaming to cloud 25/7
and a lot of smart home devices with voice control

i get about 400-500meg on wifi
and office/computer room is on a 1gig conection

ontop of that i dont pay anywhere near the full price for the 1gig conection so why not


So much bollocks from one person. All that computer savvy yet you can't even find a working spelling checker.
