I'm about 250yds from the cabinet and I get 76Mb down and 20 up, more than happy with that. The only other isp that could tempt me away is if Virgin rolled out FTTP to my area in the future as they cabled up my street only in March. I live in hope

Even for the people who can get FTTP, 1Gbps is the high water mark for residences. If you're a business with deep pockets you can already have whatever you want, no matter where you live Businesses cannot get whatever speeds they want now from BT or Virgin I know a business out in the sticks and can only get 4MB download speed through ADSL and nothing upload speed wise not sure if FTTC is available at that location The location is just outside of Bedford on the Cambridge/Bedford/St Neots border |

What home hub have you got? The latest one is excellent for a good wi-fi signal.

I used to get 10 with BT, now getting 7 with current provider, BT have been the quickest for me, shame their customer service is so abominable.

Was getting 30 - 32 on a 38 connection.
Recently upgraded to "up to 52" but speed stubbornly remained at 30 - 32. Engineer came round this morning, now getting 51.6 on a 52 connection. Happy with that. |

I'm on infinity 1, was getting speeds of 38Mbps a few years ago when I first got it.
Over the years it has dropped to around 30 - 32mbps, I put that down to congestion . About three weeks ago I ran a speed test and noticed my speed had increased to around 43mbps but lately it has become unstable and kept dropping out completely. It is now at around 32mbps again.. |

Yes, for £500 a month but what very Small Business can afford that?
I can answer that it is a big fat NONE Mind you, even that's a bargain. Many years ago I remember paying £10,000/year for a 9.6kbit/s leased line between Belfast and London, and we thought that was fast ![]() Far too many small businesses these days think they can run their business on a £30/month domestic service, and then get upset when they have performance or service issues. Restaurants wouldn't try to run their kitchens on domestic cookers or dishwashers, and haulage companies don't use cheap Chinese vans, they know they would be false economies. Why do companies that need a network think they can get away with cheap systems? |

ranges anywhere from 20Mbps to 50Mbps. Used to get a very steady 36Mbps before they upgraded to me 52.
