pollutionblues Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's disappointing that other countries are so much further forward with FTTP than the UK, I suppose it's a start though. We're still on 6/0.3 DSL here, hoping to have FTTC by the end of the year. Some areas here still can't even get ADSL and have to rely on satellite broadband.

Zennon Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 As long as you have a low jitter ping then you are good, I was on 6mb ADSL and it was exactly the same as my fibre now for ping time and low jitter. Only downside is game / patch downloads take forever, I hope you get your FTTC soon fella. pollutionblues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside is game / patch downloads take forever, I hope you get your FTTC soon fella. My base ping is 50ms and the jitter is pretty good. Downloads take an eternity mate especially as me, wife & 2 boys all game. We're really close to the exchange so we get the fastest speeds possible. Openreach are testing long-line VDSL up here in places at the minute, that will make a big difference to rural communities who get low speed or no broadband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Close to the exchange and only getting 6mb on adsl2 ? Also 50ms is high what IP is that too? Try a closer IP ColonicBoom and pollutionblues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 It is hard to get fibre when you are in an EO line as you do not connect to a d side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
