Wired, prior to the upgrade we were 10Mbps, after the upgrade the speed was the same and although they said waits two weeks for the line to settle down, there should have been some kind of improvement. Put in a fault call, speed was up to 52Mbps within 12Hrs.

No fibre super fast and no plans to install it in our exchange. Even if they did, we have 4 miles of old copper cable...... Not so much broadband as not very wideband....
Same here. We are told that solutions are being investigated at our exchange and that is just 4 miles away. They have offered to speak with us about solutions but last time it was going to coast megabucks even with an 89% grant. If the exchange is upgraded (sometime after 2016) I will ask them to come and speak with the community association.

Cheers Mike, think it might be worth testing on wired again(y)

I've put a like but that's not a reflection of the service.

Was doing tax returns and it kept timing out... a call to the HMRC technical helpline resulted in being told to do it at the library but they went quiet when I said the library was in a van and parked two miles away once a month.........

At least ours is reasonably reliable - can just about video conference with it plus also VPN works.

Since April 1846 but have always camped.
Ok stop rubbing it in. I've just checked and its 0.9 Mbps. So stop gloating! Interestingly enough went to the next village and although they have the same speed as me the college next door has 50mbps, so what do I do! Any ideas?

Just measured mine (BT) download at 29.77Mb/s.

Many locally are on Sky including two over the road, they are getting 4.9Mb/s . One at the end of the road on TalkTalk getting less than 3Mb/s so BT winning here.

since 2007, 25 years tuggin before that.
BT have recently made fibre available at our exchange(about a mile away) so upgraded.
Download speed used to be about 5mb/s & upload .2mb/s on a good day.
Connected fibre today & it jumped to download 26mb/s (5 times faster) & upload 6.5mb/s(32 times faster).
That's via WiFi, they say it would be faster still via cable so hopefully no more buffering.

Shell out for a dedicated lease line probably what the college has. Don't think you would like the price.:xgrin:

Quite happy with my totally unlimited, 4G usage, mobile internet (with NOS) here in Portugal...

At weekends they seem to do maintenance sometimes and things slow down for a little while.
