Cable upgrade

[TriplexDread]

Finally after waiting 2 years I rang VM and insisted I wanted my free upgrade from 60mb to 100mb

new speeds are in Sig

I get DL @ approx 11.7 to 12MBps

My UL is approx 750KBps

I'm happy with that

Very nice That's about 8 times faster than my fibre connection!

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah not bad at all. I will do a test to somewhere else soon see how that goes as that one is only local really

You are lucky, because we live in the sticks our fastest broadband is Vfast which is a in sight wireless broadband which delivers about 21Mb/s the others which rely on BT fibre to the box in the village delivers about 17 Mb/s, Many houses and small business in our area receive a lot less.

Yeah it comes with a price though. I think I would prefer to live in the country with better air than a big town with quite high crime. Swings and roundabouts I guess?

Nice. We don't have Virgin cable in my area.
For now I am more than happy with my speeds.

Helsinki (small big city with low crime). Cable by DNA.

Good Internet weather tonight — here is the result with a London server:

High price for our internet £24 per month but as I was brought in a hamlet I love the country and well worth the other inconveniences of a poor bus service, nearest shop 2 miles away, nearest petrol station 3 miles away. But wonderful places to walk the dogs, quiet life, nice neighbors, wonderful nature and wild life (and that is not only the wife) accessibility both to the North Downs and the Pilgrims Way and also the Weald of Kent. What more could ask for.

Eastern Europe has always been renowned for very high speeds so these numbers don't surprise me at all
I would be running a small game server for friends if I had these speeds. Are you capped on speed or bandwidth at all Urmas?

 

[Urmas]

Speed capped to 350 down, 20 up. No bandwidth caps — neither with cable nor with 4G mobile connection:

Eastern Europe? Northern if you ask me.

LOL I was generalising. North East suffice?
