What internet speeds do you guys actually get?

40/10 on sky fibre

Infinity 2 80/20, had this connection for at least 5 years now and it's been fantastically stable.

Bad few weeks, need to get interleaving turned off so I can get back closer to 4Mb

40/10 on Sky

This is standard for me in North Wales and has been for the last four years, no LLU in my exchange so no practical / affordable alternatives. :mad:

Luckily a new cabinet appeared in my village in the spring and started taking orders this week

It's a bit slow yeh I keep meaning to do something about it but it's the best we can get in our building. The house I live in is a VERY old apartment block and the wiring going from my apartment to outside is at least 100 years old (it uses the original round phone connector things) but BT/Openreach say they won't replace it because it's not their responsibility and the people who own the building won't replace it (they won't even replace a collapsed ceiling in the communal hall). Most ISPs won't sell us broadband as our quoted speed is about 200kb max, it took months of bargaining with TalkTalk to have them install an internet service here (BT wouldn't go near us and could only offer us dialup) and we had to sign something to say we understand that the service will be slow/unreliable. It's better than nothing though

Yes I am aware of bits and bytes...

7mb/s (42meg) is my typical max download speed on a 72meg (9mb/s) connection

If you're aware then stop using 'mb' to represent Megabytes.

BT Infinity 2

but still faster than 50% of GB

With h265 on the brink of being implemented, this is only good news for ISPs.

But then along comes 4K and bowls them over again

5mb down, 1mb up. No news on LLU/Cable/Fibre coming to my street yet, I suppose I should be thankful for the ADSL2+ upgrade a couple of months ago....

(still don't really understand it either as I live in a suburban area full of people who would pay for faster connections if it was available... the exchange is fibre enabled, elsewhere in the town has Virgin so the cost of expanding can't be that prohibitive.... anyone who offered a faster service would literally have people queuing up to hand over their cash)

Loving Fiber

Upload has dropped since I get it install last November and but overall happy (old speed was less than 3Mb/s download)

I hate this as well, "mb" is easily one of the most widely misused units everywhere on the internet.

EDIT: Oh, also, along with "meg" - literally the most meaningless unit ever created by a layperson. Do they mean megabit? Do the mean megabyte? Do the mean megawatt?? We'll never know, because usually they don't know either.

<10 Mbit down, <0.8 mbit up.

The EU basically paid BT to put in FTTC down here in Cornwall, but they still want to charge full price to end users. Fudge them.

Sky Fibre Pro (up to 80/20) - probably drop to sky fibre 40/10 when up for renewal unless I get a good deal on the pro again
