Yeah, the reality will often be different. I know a few people who have got the 900Mbps FTTP tier from BT who are raising complaints because they can't get the full 900Mbps over WiFi.

Same with my company, it's an absolute nightmare when people's expectations aren't set correctly.

I smile when people complain about not getting gigabit over WiFi, I have to remind myself it’s not really OK to punch someone when they follow up by saying it’s so they can stream Netflix etc. without buffering.

We can all dream of a world of 80-100Mbps bitrates on Netflix

I think these guys are the fastest on the mainland UK. They are called Zzoomm and do a 2 Gbps service, coverage isn’t great and it’s £ 189 per month.

It's just a cheap way to grab headlines. Gigaclear 'announced' their 5Gbps plan back in 2016 but it's not on their website

Done a bit of googling and they wanted £ 399 a month for 5 Gbps. For this reason I’m out.

Hi all - been trying to register for a few days, but servers been broke! fixed now thankfully.

Caught this thread from a google search, I’m about to join the wonderful world of 10Gbps sequential FTTP.

10Gbps up and down is costing me 225 per month (got some discount - usually 250/month) - seems a steal really!

Need to pick peoples brains on the best kit to go with this - started a new thread as didn’t want to clog this one up with talk of workstations etc..

Thread here

Yes, I got all excited when I saw that in the Mikrotik Newsletter. Sadly, not as good as it looked at first glance. Still quite good though!

I swear they worded it in a way that made it sound like a 10Gbps switch, thought I was going crazy

It wasn’t just you. They bill it as an 8-port 10Gbps switch but it’s the two SFP+ ports that make it that. It’s still a nice product because you can drop 2 fibres (one redundant) into every room in a house and then use that to take you back to a top-of-cabinet aggregation switch with 8 1GbE ports in every room. That’s good kit in my view.
