Nice to see Plusnet getting in on the cheaper Gb action. £41 a month and a one off £5 for a static IP.

I’m not confused by sync speed.
I’m using an ASUS ax86U I know how much they are disliked on here but works fine for me.
Strange result because the iPhone 15 Pro only supports 2x2 (80MHz) on 5GHz AX so PHY (simplex) data rates of 1200Mbps (600-ish Mbps actual maximum transfer speed). Could you be on Wifi6E and not know it?
Soldato
It looks like the 1Gbps Virgin Media package. They over-provision so you do get 1.1-1.2Gbps but not on 5GHz.

The iPhone 15 Pro supports 160MHz on WiFi 6. Sync speed is 2400.

If your PHY is 2400Mbps then you must be on 6E according to https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep268652e6c/web

@Caged, you beat me to it.

I'm pretty sure it's not. We sell a lot of Unifi U6-Enterprise and U7-Pro access points based on people having iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max handsets and they REALLY do well on 6E and the difference is more pronounced because they only run at 80MHz on 5GHz WiFi6. It has to be WiFi 6E. Even on WiFi6E it's VERY fast given that you're passing the data across from the SuperHub in modem mode then TX/RX through the Broadcom BCM43684 chipset.

My router literally doesn’t support 6E, it has no 6GHz radio, it’s physically impossible for me to be on 6E.

As I said above, when it comes to WiFi speeds there are so many numbers bandied about it's hard to establish what the real numbers are. And I still doubt you're actually getting the speeds the software is reporting.

Doubt all you want, but unless speed test is giving me many, many errored results then I am indeed getting the speeds I should be.

It’s not about doubting what you’re saying, I believe you believe. it’s the veracity of the results being reported by the software that is in doubt.
I’ve got an iPhone 15 Pro Max and it won’t connect at all if I set my router up at 160MHz channel width. That’s the main reason people don’t use the extreme channel aggregation.
Are any other 5GHz devices that are connecting to your 160MHz wide channel?
Anyone with decent hardware can get Gb speeds over WiFi.

Finally got rid of Virgin and moved to EE 1.6
The latency is so much better.

How stable is it with EE? I'm with Aquiss at the moment but contract ending in a month or soFinally got rid of Virgin and moved to EE 1.6
The latency is so much better.

Compared to Virgin, very stable. I use my own router though - with 2.5gb WAN and LAN.
I have 3 boys who stream and game, missis who on Netflix and it handles it without any issues.
I get 6ms ping to bbc from Derbyshire.

Yeah why is the UK SOOOO far behind the rest of the world with uploads?
Do ISP's think all us UK folk just host servers all day?
Mostly to "protect" their business offerings - I had a conversation about it with the Gigaclear, which does same upload and download speeds, rep about it and they are very edgy about it and not sure if they might have to change it in the longer run.
