Hey Folks so got Fibre broadband in today and all seems well getting 38mb/s Download and 9mb/s upload with a 21ms Ping.

all is fine When Connected through the WIFI and Sitting down stairs the problem im having is i haven't had an Electrician out yet to drill a hole and run a Cable to my PC.

So im currently using my previous method of obtaining internet by tethering my phone to my PC Although using WIFI this time instead of Mobile Data.

Ping and Upload speeds are the same but only get around 15mb/s Download anyone have any idea why is it because my Motherboard only Supports Usb 2.0 until i upgrade next week.

It Doesn't have a WIFI Adapter thats why im using my phone as one.

It keeps cutting out though

the sooner i get my PC Hardwired the better.

Been Quoted 20-30 pounds and i have to buy the cable im looking at getting a Cat6 15m cable my Computer is only about 8m away from the Router is it worth getting the longer cable just in case i move it around and would i lose any speed?
