Been on this speed for around 10 years as my area never had the full fibre experience, even my previous address didn't! But over the last year they've been upgrading all the phone lines/poles to full fibre!

So as from tomorrow, I should be upgrading with all being booked in!

Download speed
910.00 Mbps
Upload speed
105.00 Mbps

They did offer me 1600Mbps, but that's the difference between £38 a month upgrade and £91 :cry:
 
You will love it, notice that loaded latency, that will be a thing of the past.

That price for the top tier on openreach is steep, you won't miss it too much though.

Bit weird seeing full fibre on asynchronous speeds, but aside of that - you'll like it :D

Nice cheers both! Yeh I'd love to have the fastest of the fast, but it wouldn't be cost effect for my usage!
 
Well they are here installing, he did say that people in the area although booked, it needs to be a green light switched on at the phone pole. I'm the first person in my area to go active :cry:

Some teething problems at first, namely them not sending me out a fast enough router cable ( thankfully I had one in the loft ), then activation didn't go live until now when I was connected at 9am :)

Openreach had to go through an outsourced tech number to find out all was good. Engineer struggled to understand the person on the phone, and they work for the same company :D

How to fix though? hmm

Usually reinstall driver, then unplug the ethernet cable (from both sides; computer and router side) and then replug back in. Assuming it's not the cable itself that's the problem, then it should negotiate back up to whatever speed you have between computer and router (or whatever you connect to; eg my PC connects at 10g, but that's to the local main switch level, the router is still only 1g symmetric). If that's not an issue, then I would next move to the ports on the computer and router to eliminate them if they've developed a fault and can't hit 1g speeds (and if so, use different ports to see if that fixes it).

  • done a reinstall... Full duplex still no go!
  • Plugged cable in different port on router... Still no change
  • Don't think I can change ports on the computer though!
Was fine this morning, unlikely to be cable when it's just one day?

Thanks dude
 
Are you able to log into the router and see what speed its connecting out to the ISP at?

Also, the ethernet cable can unfortunately just act up like that, so if you have a different one to use, try that instead of this one. Just in case.
