Hi, not posted here in a very very long time but I need some advice. I've been looking around for a faster ISP in the uploads department. My current ISP is British Telecoms and although their service is really good I'm only getting the following speeds "on a good day"

3836570877.png

(125/30Mbps)

The download speeds are fine and I don't really need any faster than 100Mbps, but the upload speeds are poor in comparison, I do an enormoious amount of uploading (sometimes uploading in the region of terabytes of data per month) as part of my job and 30Mbps isn't cutting it. I also feel that the upstream part of the connection could be more stable as it fluctuates between 22 - 31Mbps wildly. I've called the usual providers but their packages are even worse offering upstream speeds of a measly 10 - 15Mbps. Libery Global (branded as Virgin Media) can offer me a faster downstream speed (150Mbps) but the upstream would get reduced down to only 10% of that (15Mbps).

The only advice I've been given is to get a leased line which at the speeds I'm looking at I'd be looking at €550 a month or look at Hyperoptic which cannot provide a service here (even though it's Central London)

My budget is around €175 a month and I'd be happy with a 50/50Mbps service but would prefer 100/100Mbps, I live in Angel City in North Central London
 
It might be worth speaking to some companies to see if they supply FTTC GEA. This should allow you to get your desired speeds with less or no contention ratio.

We do this with some of our remote offices although a lot are only 15Mbps lines rather than 50Mbps. I can't see it being a problem with your current line. I know Timico provide these and in comparison to a leased line then they are cheap. Not sure of any other providers I'm afraid.
 
I did check that out, along with Ethernet first mile but the most they could offer me was a 20 symmetrical service
 
EFM does not support greater than 30Mbps ish. I don't know what you are uploading but is getting another line not possible? We do this with our Cisco routers sometimes, create a route map with a object group containing destination IP's over say line one and another for line 2? Only problem with that is an expensive router!
