BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

Do you have a different router? Use something else for a day or two and then swap back to the BT one. This seems to be a recurring issue that will clear by itself but also nobody on the tech support line seems to know how to escalate properly.

Yeah, I've got an Asus N66U that I can swap to.
 
ordered at 10am today and think ive just been switched on, stuck at 30mbps upload which i see a lot of people moaning about but i don't care. still waiting for smart hub 2 to arrive

is there any reason why I'm getting slow wifi speeds, stuff to enable or check? I say slow, its 220mb and ethernet on PC its 890

I'm upstairs but the signal is still fairly strong, using a google pixel 2
 
WiFi is not able to deliver those sorts of speeds, even if next to the AP.

There are so many variables as to why, from antenna setups on both client and router, interference, other devices, other networks etc. In theory AC WiFi can do well beyond gigabit speeds but you’ll rarely see it on the hardware used.

Have you got any other devices connected wirelessly that are older standard? As far as I'm aware the Wi-Fi will default to the lowest capable device speed, sounds like you could have a Wireless N device on the network.
 
If the phone has a 2x2 antenna setup at most it could support is 866Mbps, this is a theoretical maximum and it assumes you have perfect signal strength, perfect antennas on both sides, no interference and no overhead. If the phone has a 1x1 setup is could only support 433Mbps.

The above speeds are basically impossible outside of simulations/labs. Like home plugs you’ll not get anything like the quoted speeds in the real world, especially on cheap mass produced consumer devices.

220Mbps on a phone with a tiny antenna is well in the ballpark and normal even if it had a 2x2 set up.
 
When I phoned up yesterday I was told that BT are not doing any upgrades until after the virus has passed. I'm on 300/50 currently and was told that an engineer visit was needed to check everything went well as it's a new package. Seems there is a lot of conflicting info coming out of BT.
 
Since moving my FTTC connection over to AAISP at the start of the month, granted other factors are at play at present. However, I can't say I have been too impressed with AA ISP as I have one update from them since moving the line over to say there monitoring is down but no other update from there. So I have sent them another email to ask if things are paused for the moment or if its still being reviewed.

My X570 has WIFI 6 on board and i can get speeds of 900Mbs over WiFi when connected to my ASUS Rapture, My brother has WiFI 5 and gets a shade over 500Mbs. Router is downstairs from us. I know the Galaxy S10 has WiFI 6 and have seen videos of that achieving 900Mbs + over Wifi

I honestly don't understand why anyone would go with AAISP.
