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 Every now and then one of my kids torrents. After that my network switch slows down the network. Restating it solves the problem. Restarting the router or the AP does not solve the problem it is the switch. Also, when using the old unmanaged switch this doesn’t happen only with the managed...

Hi I got "Community Fibre" FTTP 150Mbps download, 150Mbps upload package 2 weeks ago and I'm currently testing it. Community Fibre state they throttle or limit connections in any way but it seems to me they do. I got Linksys Velop router and ADTRAN 621i XGS-PON ONT modem from them. The problem...

Hi all, I did used to post on this thread a few years ago when I started building computers as a beginner Somehow managed to lose that account so starting new here unfortunately back in august 2021 my mum was murdered by my dad and this left me in understandable trauma. Anyway I’m recovering...

I don't use wireless devices, and don't own a cellphone. But I was wondering if it's possible to get a PDA/tablet that CAN'T connect to WiFi or a mobile network? (In other words, without a modem or radio transmitter.) I'd just like a tablet I can use to view photos/videos, or maybe even read...

Hey Guys I have a zyxel router through my IP that I want to keep as a Modem and then set my Netgear Router in the livingroom as an AP. In the bedorom where my zyxel router is, I had a technician put up a network box in the wall that leads up and through the attic and then down to my office...

Hi guys, anyone here on Vodafone and have one of these routers? I've had this one delivered today as an 'upgrade' from my older Huawei HHG2500 but already I seem to be having issues with it. I can only change the WiFi details/passwords through the phone app - why? When trying a firmware...

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)...

;)This is hard to explain as I’m a layman in an IT world... but here goes. I have a coax cable running between a garden out-house and main house. It’s currently not terminated either end. I want to run internet from main house to garden house 30m away using this cable. but, how can I get...

Hi Everyone, I bought a computer about a year ago and everything was fine for most of the time. However, it's been a few months that I have quite a lot of issues with my Internet connexion. While I'm supposed to have 160mbps, I have drop at 60 and sometimes even 30mbps. This mostly affects the...

We don't like where the phone line terminates. It's ugly and silly. We disguised it for a few years with some low profile trunking/conduit but now we're redecorating and it's a problem again. My office is directly above the lounge. I'd like to relocate the socket there. I know nothing about...

I just solved my GPU issues and now I have a slow upload problem. All devices in my household seem to be receiving around 20mbps upload but my new build seems to only reach between 1-4Mb upload. Any ideas guys, this is wired in to the router but even on wireless it’s the same. Speed test on...

I live in a flat in a development. I'm currently with plusnet (FTTC) who have been fine but do not seem to offer anything beyond around 55Mbps. FTTP was recently introduced here. I'm told by the development that there are two providers - BT and Zen (not sure why there are only two?). I've looked...

Hi - I recently moved into my first home and bought two pairs of TP-Link Powerline adapters so my and my girlfriend can work from home but found out tonight that one set will work fine but when plugging in the second the first PC will suddenly loose connection. We've tried plugging them...

Last Friday CityFibre laid their cable to outside the door of my block of flats. What happens next? I'm assuming I will get a letter at some point asking me to pay squillions for gigabit internet, but how long will it be?

I have a laptop which I installed a filter on. The filter only works for URL's, not for IP address'. If I put in an IP address, it won't connect. I want to use a proxy IP for accessing Facebook. I can exclude this IP address from the filter, but then any traffic coming through the proxy is...

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...
