Super fast broadband?

BT offers BT Infinity (Fibre to the cabinet) which does achieve high(ish) speeds for domestic broadband - higher speeds will be achieved if you are directly connected (by cable) to your modem/ router, and if you are not contending with other computers, mobiles, internet TV services etc. in your own house.


If you have a 'busy' household and are connecting via WiFi then things will appear mcuh slower than the system will actually support, if optimised.


But best case, you are talking medium to high 10s and not 100s Mbs

It seems domestic operators max out around 20-50 Mbit/s up. If you need faster than that there are lots of commercial vendors in London that can make that happen, but it tends to be very expensive indeed. As an example, http://www.sohonet.com/ seems to be the common network provider amongst a lot of media companies, offering up to 10Gbit fiber solutions on dedicated fiber.
Am on Zen Internet. Had a slightly rocky start getting online with them which wasn't entirely their fault, but very happy with it since. Am on their mid range fibre package, 37mbps download 8-9mbps upload. They do have a faster one as well. It's not the cheapest but I chose them because they got such good reviews.

Thank for all your responses -


just run the speed test and I have:


download speed of 9.36 mbps


upload speed of 0.77mbps


This is a bit crap isn't it?


The computer in question is connected by cable to the router, and is the sole computer except for the usual iPhones/iPads etc which tend to be used at different times. Might have to look into BT...

    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
