Speedtest History

nlel1975 · 13 Aug 2018 at 15:21

This was when I was on ytel WiMAX £ 13.40 a month and no landline needed...

Then I moved onto ytel Fibre £ 15.74 a month and no landline needed...

Then ytel upgraded the download and upload speeds to around 38Mbps with no price increase...

Then they decreased the upload speeds to around 8Mbps...

On 01/01/17 ytel now known as Homenet increased the monthly subscription fee to £ 26.24 from £ 15.74 with no changes to service speeds.

Finally moved onto Sure Fibre for £ 39.90 a month for 236Mbps down 46Mbps up with a landline...

I believe the Sure speed is due to go back down to normal speeds in September.

Cool story bro

*jealous of the 500/500 fibre speeds*

Looks good, glad you have a very fast connection now yeah.

I wish my connection history ended up with a 500/500 connection too

Well during this coronavirus pandemic my ISP has raised my connection speeds again due to more people working from home so now I am getting this over Ethernet...

This with an AC1900 WiFi adapter about 8 meters away from router...

This with a iPad 6th gen over WiFi right next to router...

Finally this with a iPhone XR over WiFi right next to router...

Not as good as it once was but better than it was before the recent speed increase...

Man, I now live very rural which has its benefits. The twisted copper pair landline though only manages 5 down 0.7 up lol and your getting the speeds that even the nearest town could only dream of near me!

I have a 4g alternative which I am testing so not the end of the world but best case is around 30 down and 20 up on that connection. Im hoping the grants and government promises on boosting rural broadband gets traction because cellular unlimited data seems to be the only method that's viable to me.

Well they've increased my speeds even further now get this sometimes...

It must be said its not this fast every time. This is one of the fastest results I've ever had.

Yeah the best I ever had before was this...

I thought my line wasn’t capable of any more, they were obviously throttling it.

I've created this YouTube video so you get to feel like what its like to be behind a gigabit connection...

Well just as an update my speed went back down to this at the beginning of 2023...

Switched provider back to Homenet on Tuesday this week who now have gigabit speeds and have this...

When I was with them last time back in August 2018 it was this...
