are you with Sky?? from what I know Sky purchase bandwidth in whole sale from BT and re-sell it on, the max speed sky provide on fibre is 76mbps, currently virgin provide speeds of up to 200mbps max, only Hyperoptic provide speeds of upto 1gbps, but its very expensive, so question is who are you with to get those excellent speeds?
Nope, not with Sky... like Dis86 mentioned, it says who I'm with in the screenshot... UPC Cablecom
That's actually a poor speedtest that was done at peak times... alongside I was able to get about 55MB/s download speeds.
I've done another slightly later in the evening:
We almost went for an apartment with FTTP... would have been nice to have symmetrical Gbit... but it was too central and not suitable for the cats.
This provider uses the same technology as Virgin Media... DOCSIS3.0... the technology is actually capable of speeds up to about 1.2Gbit download without any fundamental change in hardware, only the modem has to be able to support enough channels as the technology is practically channel bonding (ie, taking multiple internet connections and making them appear as a single connection).
FYI, Sky do not offer fibre... the service you're referring to is VDSL2... it works on a very similar structure to what Virgin have offered for many years... fibre to the distribution cabinet and then Coaxial (virgin) or copper (Sky/BT et al) to the house.
All ADSL/VDSL ISPs, unless they have their own local loops (like Be There) buy/rent bandwidth from BT and sell it on as it is BT's network... only LLU (local loop unbundling) ISPs have their "own" bandwidth (which could come from any of the primary suppliers depending on location... BT/CoLT/Virgin/etc).
Only Virgin have their own unique network for home users... but again, there is quite a lot of sharing on the various backbones.
He's not in the UK...
And I guess he's with cablecom
Hehehe
