broadband

I thought I'd start a thread about Lightspeed broadband as I am getting close to pulling the trigger and swtiching to them, but any discussion about them in particular quickly gets lost in the other general FTTP threads. I'm currently with Aquiss on 900/100, while their service has been great...

Hi All, New here. So i recently upgraded to EE 1.6gbps, the EE SMart hub only has 1gbps lan ports, so i bought an ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro router, which has 10gbp LAN port, and 2.5gb WAN, then i connected the 10gb port to a BroTrends 2.5gb 8 port switch. Previously had all 1GB network gear. 1 of the...

Any users of Hey!Broadband and their own router? I keep seeing some slowdown/disconnection almost daily around midnight since migrating to their unit (for various reasons) and I suspect this is equipment issue not the line as I don't ever recall having this when I used my router. Thanks

hi im looking to change broadband is U Switch trustworthy are plusnet or vodafone any good? what ISP every one with?

My THG3000 Vodafone router gives DHCP clients a .broadband suffix for DNS. This is causing some issues, and it's preventing Windows 11 clients connecting to my server and NAS. So how do I fix it? As it handles my wifi I cannot just roll up a DHCP server. I cannot see any way to change the DHCP...

I've recently move back into the Stone Age 'Broadband Wise' Only Copper available, serving me 2-6meg down and only 0.35meg upload!! Not enough for today's modern online life! Swindon is getting Full Fibre (Fibrehop and TalkTalk) but it's not available in my area just yet! So... I've moved over...

Is anyone here using any of the Full Fibre 100 (BT) or Fibre Max (EE) Internet services? - This is where you actually get a fibre cable installed to your home rather than via a copper cable over a phone line. https://shop.ee.co.uk/broadband/fibre-max-broadband If you are could you please let...

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone could help me. For the last 18/24 months we've had full time 4g broadband on three using a TPlink Mr600 router. We have very good signal where we are and luckily enjoyed 30/40MBPS down for a long time. Its also rock steady with (for my uses) low ping (35-55ms)...

Hi All, Going through a full refurb of my house. Even though I have not moved in, it appears for the electrician to know where the phone line will be installed by which ever broadband provider I go with, I need to take out a BB service, so he can run my Cat 6 cables from the various rooms I...

Hi, Apologies in advanced for my cluelessness in the field of networking, but I am currently in the middle on an on-going and seemingly never ending install with Plusnet and thought now would be a good time to make sure I'm utilising my internet setup correctly. I've just moved into a new...

Hi All, I subscribe to SKY broadband, ADSL (copper phone line). I upgraded my sagem F@ast 2304N to a TP-Link Archer VR2800 two weeks ago. The broadband connection is dropped at some point in the small hours every night and in the morning I have to reboot the router by switching the power off and...

So after moving properties and having to pay a heft cancellation fee to Hyperoptic (landlord issues) I've decided against to try a 4G sim and router combo. Just over a year ago I bought an unlimited data Smarty SIM and the TP-Link Archer MR200 router. Not sure why chose it over a Huawei. For the...

What broadband upload/download speeds are required for up to 4 people gaming fom the same location? Thanks ...

I'm looking for broadband connection for my holiday flat. Nothing fancy but enough to get email, some browsing etc. I'm with BT in my main home but the cheapest BT connection is £24.99 for 10 Mb. However, I've noticed shopping around that some providers offer it way cheaper. For example, if...

Unsure if this is the right section but it is hardware related. But out of the blue, my wifi router has stopped working. It was working yesterday but now, there's no internet. When I went to look at box, there was only the DSL light is on (and it's green). Not even the power light is on even...

I'm moving into a new house in January but only for a couple of months (maybe as short as one month actually) before leaving the country. I know it has previously had Sky TV if that makes any difference... I'm hoping to get some kind of broadband internet in the property for the short time I'm...

After consulting the U-Switch site for my postcode BD10 the maximum speed from an alternative provider is 76Mb/s. Are there any smaller lesser known fibre providers for the Bradford area? Only thinking of leaving as I started off paying £39 a month less than a year ago and it's been ramped up...

Hi, I've recently had to connect my gaming pc to my router wireless and the connection is really slow. I'm assuming there's something not right as I've tested my phone, laptop and ps4 wireless on the same router and they work fine. It takes like half a minute to load websites and in the...

Surprised to say we have the ability to order FTTP at home. I say this as we are very rural and a small cluster attached to a really small exchange (circa 300 properties on our exchange) but sure enough we have it. I actually walked around the grounds with the Openreach engineer looking at where...
