Village Internet Ours is 5gd and next doors 2:5gd 4g on o2 is 21gd what do you think

[mendiplogs]

just had a visit from bt this lunch time on the very subject, broadband slow.

bt said 0.51mb line speed, fitted a new phone socket and now so I am told 3.88mb.

things that effect speed as has been said.

ali wiring and broadband don't get on, cuts and joins in the line, anything electrical plugged in can cause a problem dvd players, phone chargers etc.... can give off interference that will kill the speed and that could come from next door as well as own house.

that's what I was told, hate electrickary at the best of times.

 

Hi MATE OURS is only that when it feels like thanks Jon

Hi Jon,

 

Your internet speed (via landline) is dependant on several factors, but the main ones are:

 

1 How far you live from the exchange - including external state of cabling

2 Your internal cabling

3 Your router

 

1 you cannot change, unless you move house.

 

2 You can fit a BT iPlate or later version whatever that is, if you unscrew the NTES master socket plate then connect your router directly to what is the first (and only) socket on your cabling & do a speed test this eliminates any interferance from anything connected to an extension etc. Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

 

Its common knowledge that cutting the bell wire usually No3 (orange/white) helps a lot as it is not needed with modern telephones but acts like an ariel for interferance. Google it.

 

3 You generally wont get the best speeds from a cheap ISP supplied router. Its well worth having a browse of what cuts the mustard and obtain a decent router, the netgear series used to be my favourite to install for clients.

 

Example: configured netgear router to TalkTalk with a few tweaks for client at 5.8km from exchange - BT could not even guarnatee conection to Internet at all. I achieved 5.8Mb/s down & 650Kb/s on the up - not bad result considering distance. Client asked me how come I get better speeds than at my companies office which is 2.2Km from exchange? Probably cos they use BT with a crap router was my answer.

 

As for 4G & eventually 5G that will probably take over from fixed line ADSL connection, paticually in rural areas.

And also contention ratio: thats the number of subscribers sharing your connection, its usually 50:1 but with some providers its lower.

 

My favourites are:

 

Andrews & Arnold - AAISP - Home

ID Net - Leased Lines | Broadband | Telecoms | IDNET
