Doesn't look dodgy at all

Clearly a Russian spy with that sort of antenna.

Just as Johny always thought...

Jeez... how the UK doesn't rebel is beyond me... I'm at 325 down and 289 up.

Pfft, that's also poor. Gigabit here in the UK.

Luckily I've had Virgin Media for rhe last few years and Gigabit internet speeds.

You've not lived until you've seen your download speed hit 100Mbps +

You still on dial up?

This Zzoomm they installed round here gets me 200ish mb. More than adequate for what I use, certainly when it used to be around 30 through the old BT cables. Think I can get more power but seems unnecessary, wouldn’t give me any benefit for the additional expense. 6mb is a joke though. That’s like 2005 speeds

When I'm at my daughters in Lichfield, she's lucky to get 40 mb down. Piss poor. Can still stream a movie though so as long as it works eh?

Been considering BRSK full fiber as opposed to the current FTTC Virgin line, but my partner doesn't like the sound of the TV box that they offer. With WFH I worry about jumping from the frying pan into the fire too

Had a few issues with Virgin lately (first ever tbh) and quickly realised how useless they are when that happens!

SNR and downstream post RS errors if anyone is nerdy! Which I think are causing issues with an ancient piece of software I have to use, over a VPN. From what I gather you probably wouldn't usually notice it, but the packet loss is enough for my system to throw a fit.

Blimey I haven't heard about SNR and downstream errors since I used to admin my old Netgear router when I was still connecting to the box in the road and my local telephone exchange.

Well it's mainly me diagnosing the issue myself as VM haven't been a fat lot of help so far. I'll be buying a key and going in the green box myself at this rate
