Poll: What speed connection do you use?

[glenimp617]

We have 1gb/1gb at work, it's great

Think the local uni are being upgraded to 10gb as part of the janet network overhaul

 

[Tone1979]

at work 1gb, at home 350Mb.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Yeah right, and you can call me Mary Poppins.

Are liars cool?

Lol...

Here we go:


Not going to post my address publicly - but I am on the outskirts of a farm, the fibre goes up to the farm house... about up the semi-private dead-end road is my house... another ~150m up the road there's another house... then it's about 1800m to the next house

 

[Sliver]

Lol...

Respect !

 

[crinkleshoes]

Respect !

Normally I don't think they would have run the fibre into the farm, from what I heard from a third party - the farmer paid Gigaclear extra to run it to him and we just happened to be on the way.

GPON infrastructure.

 

[aardvark]

lol - when i voted i said between 4 and 8mb and now i'm 200mb - its ridiculous but not quite as ridiculous as the above!

 

[bledd]

Out of interest, crinkleshoes, what networking equipment do you use?

 

[jaffveyda]

High speed fibre farm.

 

[HaloUK]

200mb on VM.

They provided some basic fibre modem/router - Genexis DRG739v2
No modem mode annoyingly, so I have it going DMZ to a pfSense box which is a Dual Core i3 & 8GB RAM (overkill, but used to be my HTPC)
That goes to a 10-port managed gigabit ZyXel PoE switch (was free to me through work - but they're damn good value for money - layer 2 managed PoE switch for about £100)
1x Ruckus R500
1x Ruckus R600
Couple of Netgear unmanaged gigabit switches - one PoE for my CCTV camera & one for the home cinema
My PC, wife's PC, printer, server, TV, Amp, Shield and Blu-ray are all hard-wired... mostly Cat 6, some Cat 7
Have a dual 8-core Xeon 2012R2 Hyper-V server with 128GB RAM, 6x8TB WD Reds & 4xSSDs (~3TB SSD storage) running a few things, but most importantly a local DNS server to minimise latency

 

[Guest2]

1Gb Hyperoptic fibre
Usually get around 900 down, 800 up. Not bad for £36/month (and no phone line)

 

[Mr.E.]

Sorry, it's a line from Guardians of the Galaxy 2

But, no, he's not big and not clever....if he's lying

 

[godinman]

74/20 on plusnet. Just in a small village full of old people so I don't know why they did fttp!

Then at work it's the same on fttc.

 

[neodude]

I know this probably isn't welcome, but it's going to bug my OCD if I don't at least attempt to correct it...

m = Milli
M= Mega
b = Bit
B = Byte

Ahhh, that's better

So there's Gigabit, Gigabyte
- Gb / GB
What's a gb? - Gilli bit?

There is no SI Prefix utilising a lower case "g".

 

[jonessa]

70 MBPS on VM

 

[Feef]

20/5 VDSL at home - about £7/month. Just checked and we could switch to 1000/600 (with a different connection, I presume), but that's £75/month. So a bit over the top.

Just checked my phone and it's doing 55/25 on 4G.

 

[MacRS4]

Yeah right, and you can call me Mary Poppins.

Alright there Mary Poppins? It's usually faster to be fair, downloading a VM from work at the minute.

 

[MacRS4]

Usually the Ookla site can't keep up. This is the DSL reports version...while I'm still downloading a VM.
