Dude, I remember early 2000, my work mate was boasting to me that he got broadband enabling him to download an MP3 as quickly as it plays. That's 1mb per minute.
Ahhh the glorious days of waiting 12 minutes to download an mp3 at 56k. Its insane to think i can now download my entire music collection that I've been collecting since the days of 56k, in the same about of time it took to download 1 mp3 back then.
Awww man, hell yeah. Bringing back the memories of my utter delight at Nildram (God bless their souls, they were great) doubling my line speed from 1 to 2Mbps. And that click of the PCI ADSL modem. Aaaaah halcyon days. Now it's 900Mbps synchronous and I'm like "meh" :D
@@simondb99 the last bit cracked me up lol
Great video Ryan, I ordered the upgrade yesterday.was on 300/50. Upgraded to 900 and also got a price reduction ( small but hayho ). Thank you for taking the time to upload.
right now the BT full fibre 900 costs 49.99 pounds
I just had Plusnet installed a couple of weeks ago, 900mbps package. I upgraded the router from the provided one, horrible white colour and 560mbps when I was stood next to it. I went for the TP link ax95 and now get 960mbps so happy with that, certainly glad I purchased a new router.
Turn off the ‘smart’ wifi channel switching on the BT Router. Always seems to fix connection issues for me.
I find throwing the BT gear in the bin tends to be the best fix
@@polla2256 🤣🤣🤣
And then there is me barely scraping 40 mbs
bro im still at 10 mbs :(
I found out that this package is actually gigabit, it's just they advertise it at 900 due to overheads
My university just upgraded their BT service as well. We now have amazing internet speeds, and especially the upload which was my main concern 😍
What's the speeds and latency?
@@VarissNI
D: 114 Mbps
U: 155 Mbps
Ping: 6ms
Jitter: 1ms
I stayed in a Hotel recently that had 2Gbps both ways as GUEST internet!
You could stick a 2nd Gigabit NIC into an old PC, install pfSense and see what speed you get.
4:05 you pay for upto.. You can only say that line if you pay for a leased line.
I get 1Gbps both ways and I get the speed I pay for - but I pay £598 a MONTH! - That's the sort of money you need to spend to say what you pay for
Have mine ordered, i live in a small town in n.ireland, my current internet is 35 download and about 5 upload, now it should be 900 download and something like 100 upload with the upgrade, which even if it is only half that it is still amazingly fast.
On 1Gig symmetrical and just 8.70 Euros p/m but your speed is very good for the UK. I remember paying the same price for 20U/2D with a download cap...
We have BT fttp and use ubiquiti kit. I can certainly recommend it. At the moment we only pay for a 150/30 connection.
I have gone for this same package. Full Fibre 100? What speeds do you tend to get on average?
I hate all the comments of I only get 300mbs etc. I live in west Wales where we have no fibre options and in a wifi not spot, I can only get 4mbs at 2.00am otherwise it is 2-3mbs. BT have no plans to upgrade the area until 2025.
How did you setup your tplink ? I suggest you to sniff in order to understand how the BT HUB makes the PPPoE(VLAN/credentials/CoS tag/DSCP)... or if it uses DHCP look for a particular option
Here in india we are getting 900 Mbps FTTP for 2000 Inr or 20 GBP per month
thanks for the video Ryan - I did find it quite funny when you said 'decent' connection when in effect it's well over the 1/2 or more of the uk that can 'only' get a tenth of 900meg if they are lucky and you are in the backend of nowhere :-) I'm in Brentwood Essex and get 60meg max which is fine but you are still 'rare' so be very happy with your exceptional (not decent) connection !
I get 65 Meg and that's the maximum for my town
@Jo Bloggs I said 65meg is the maximum for my town. "get virgin media" does that sound like an option to you??
Very envious, the fastest I can get in a less rural area is about 30 down 5 up. I live about 8 miles out of Manchester
I have 75/20 from BT fastest speed in the area unfortunately. Still 30mbps is enough for most tasks
Hands down get ubiquity, yes it's on the pricey side, but i installed my ubiquity network including the 2 poe switch usg, 2 WiFi ap's almost 3 years ago now and I haven't once had a problem. My current up time is 218 days since a crash/restart. My poe switches have 580 days and my usg has 580 days too - really I should update them as there all running old firmware, but its a case of if its not broken don't fix it for me and as for speeds, top notch
I'm upgrading from 7 meg ish connection to 900 full fibre soon it's been a long time coming for my area of the uk.
After ordering mine and viewing your video as I waited. I knew my router wouldn't be able to push the Gigabit speeds. I was using VyOS on a Hyper-V VM beforehand and it would have only been capable of ~400Mb/s. I ordered a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X to replace it, since it's a fork from Vyatta and the command line is very similar. Speeds through that (with hardware acceleration enabled) I'm able to achieve a good 900 Mb/s with no extra configuration. With 5 networks, firewall rules, policy routing a single Wireguard interface along with a (small) OSPF instance - I can push around 850 Mb/s using BTWholeSale Speedtest. The additional issue here in the UK with BT, is we're forced to use PPPoE which is additional processing. Without that, I wonder what type of additional throughput I could get.
The regulation on minimum speed should be narrowed, if your paying for a speed under fttc your legally required to have a speed just 30 mbs before they have to investigate and your free to cancelled, to say you can get under half your paid for speed without them having to do anything is just wrong
Hi Ryan, I wish I could get your speeds, I'm in Suffolk and struggling to get 30mbps down. fingers crossed BT roll out 900 around here soon 🙏
Gigabit internet rollout is so fucking slow, I live closer to a major city and nothing has been done for years. Recently my street cabinet has become saturated with people wanting faster speeds so maybe they will bring the plans forward...
Hi Ryan, i live in Minehead in Somerset not a million miles from you and sadly right now in 2022 BT do NOT offer anywhere near these speeds... the best i can get is what i have 72mbs
I don't have Fibre 900 yet but i can get it in my area now so should be getting it soon! i have been using the BT Smart Hub 2 though for around 8 months now and its is alot more reliable than the previous smart hubs the only issue i found was the wifi discs they send you are a bit hit and miss. they seem to work fine for months then all of a sudden they loose connection then they wont connect back up so you gotta re pair them to the hub which is a bit of a pain but apart from that its been fine. just need to upgrade my powerlines to 1000mbps ones so i can then be ready for fibre 900 when we get it soon!
I got this package, I’ve had the outside fitted got to wait till the 21st for the inside to be done and then off I go on the 23rd. I will be paying £83 with BTTV and weekend calls. Yep not cheap but this package is only £5 more then what I’m paying now and then rises by another £5 after 6 months.The speeds I’m at now on the highest package for my area is roughly 37 down and 7 up. I know to some it’s a lot but it’s a huge gain for no more then £10 for 2 years.
I will be getting 300Mbps this month with EE but it’s using the g fast technology which is not actual fttp compared to your one. It is pretty good though, that copper (within distance) can do 300Mbps and higher. Thanks for the video too. I’m looking forward to the fast speeds now. Like you mention though at least some more people are getting 900Mbps now. Hopefully within the near future it’ll be more common for even half a gigabit speeds to be the norm in the UK.
There's is a 50mbps upload cap glitch on the Smart hub 2 which could be the reason for the fluctuations. Upload can affect download speed at times. Sort of like when you have a lot of people on the same time as you during peak hours of the day 6-10pm. Apparently BT are working on a fix for it. I'm not sure when it will be sorted though.
This happened to mine, I had to get a specialist fibre engineer from open reach to come out, he was here about an hour and called someone to changed the profile manually as it had been set up incorrectly and capped.
Your connection is most likely provisioned as a gigabit service, but being marketed and sold as a 900megabit service to stop people complaining they're being short-changed. People in the past have always complained that they're paying for "up to" a certain speed and not getting it.
With how ethernet works, if a customer is sold a gigabit service, they would (or at least most people would) expect to go onto speedtest.net to test their speed and expect 1000megabits. If you think about the OSI model, the physical copper/fibre is layer 1, the ethernet frames are on layer 2. At layer 2, the throughput at 1000megabits/sec will translate to about 940megabits of throughput at layer 3 at the most (depending on the data payload size); this is owing to the headers in the ethernet frames using some of the layer 2 throughput.
The long and the short of it; providers are not marketing their services as gigabit as they would get no-end of flack for the above reason.
I literally just looked at the BT maps as I'm currently working for BT selling this product and it is not availiable where you live 😂😂
He has no idea what he’s on about
@Alex Tomblin 😘
You: not happy with your fibre connections Me: can’t even get fibre connections in my area with 4mbp down 0.70 up… 😆…😭
From London and recently got the same package as you. No issues with BT or third party routers. Easily Getting 950 down and 120 up
do you put the bt hub in bridge mode then use own router?
No using the BT Hub only for now as its been fine for me
How did u achieved the speeds with bt ? Over Ethernet? Coz I’m in Liverpool an the speed Whar I’m geting is 450 down 110 up over Wifi
This is over Ethernet yes. WiFi is almost guaranteed to be significantly slower
I was Gona say that 😂 I went out and bought a ASUS rx88u cost me 300 and the max speed I have so far is like 600
Ahhh that's a pain. Yeah it's frustrating when you can't run cables but you need the speed. I imagine it's how they sell it you you. "fast speeds" when half the time you're not even able to take advantage of them
I used to be with BT but it was really slow. I was promised around 20Mb both ways but rarely got more than 2 either way.
I recently switched to sky and now i get 60Mb each way, and it’s also far far more reliable. It’s also around half the price per month, at something like £25.
Hi, I’m currently having the same issue with BT. We pay for up to 38mbps with a minimum guarantee of 15mbps but we actually only get 1-2mbps at peak times. Would you recommend switching to Sky? I thought they used the same openreach network anyways?
sky was the worst thing for me which is why i'm moving to EE 900MB
Sky is useless shite
Maybe a bit delayed here... You will need to check the MTU size on your hub/router (you need to move away from that consumer gear. I use Ubiquiti with a controller and it is rock solid and get full speed).
Are you bridging the BT hub and using the linksys unit, or is the Linksys unit connected via WAN to the GPON? The MTU size will affect you throughput through the linksys unit
Anyway, ditch it all and go for the Ubiquiti UDM with some Unifi AC Nano APs. You will not regret the move.
I have the same package Bt 900 package with same issue WIFI really lets the speeds down. Ethernet is good 700mbps+ loads of people having same issue on BT Forurm page too. Most likely will have to wait for another router from BT or buy another third party one.
Well done BT now works real good thanks 😊 👍 👏
Engineer wouldn't install mine as I refused the massive hole for his ladder. Nice of them to tell me 3 weeks before he came
Have you got the BT wifi and the linksys wifi on at the same time? turn off the BT one. Or try changing the wifi channels on them, don't set them to auto.
Get the ubiquity gear you won’t be disappointed, just upgraded myself, really pleased with it.
Any recommendations on which router ?? Just ordered BT 900 and so certainly replace the router ASAP, Airways found their kit horrendous
Hi those speeds are measured with a tethered set up, right? What are your speeds over wi-fi? Mine are 320 down and 130 up via iPhone about 3 metres away in the same room.
I'm upgrading from 300 to the 900 and I use custom hardware. Pfsense router and then use Xiaomi WiFi APs. I'll let you know if my Xiaomi APs give out the full speed.
Why would any general household need 900mbps...its a waste of money, thats the sort of speeds used to run offices with a few hundred people in them.
County Broadband is bringing out up to 900 Mbps (symmetrical) where I live.
Hopefully I see this soon at my place, we currently get 22/4 Mbps in a large town on sky "superfast" my mate who lives a 5 minute drive away gets the 900 connection, so hopefully this means it's coming soon!
Gigaclear is available in my town but only 2 streets on the other side 😂
Just a note- EE don't have FTTP service (only G.Fast)
I live about a mile or two away from the closest town in scotland and get 2mbps 😂 its tragic! (20 miles from glasgow)
Openreach are installing fttp here by the end of the year and will be getting the 900 for sure
Well did you??
300m what a joke I only get 80m ring them up and all they do is lie to me
What routers that can run Open WRT are best for BT fibre?
I was temporarily living in South Korea teaching English in 2015 and I was getting 1 gig download 800 mb upload and it was only 3000.00 won a month about £6 a month
, the U.K. is so far behind and this excuse about copper wiring needs to be removed? well remove it ? other countries that old infrastructure is in place like Japan and Singapore and they removed everything and placed it with full fibre and I’m talking 90% of the population not 6 or 7% like the U.K.
You should consider getting ubiquiti dream machine. This will solve your problem.
I live in LIVERPOOL and still don't have access to this
what?
i pay 50$/mo ftth internet and we only get 700kbps down/up and the ping is 200ms
EDIT : its also not stable atm its 50kbps
Well that’s definitely not ftth
@@mikiekelly2113 thats how things gose in my country
we even dont have 4G
people around the world should really be thankful for what they have like i see everyone complain how their 40mbps is slow
it took me 28 days to download warzone on my ps4
@@mustafapx thing is, when you have to deal with 40mb internet while others where you live get 1GBPS but you can't because you don't have the cables connecting your house to that 1GBPS internet it sucks
I watched the video you showed on screen about not using you IP’s router. I’ve followed your advice and bought an expensive TP Link router (VDSL/ADSL). Although I’ve been having trouble with my TP-Link router having a reliable connection. Wi-fi range is great but internet drops in and out. Any help? I’ve got use to an open reach modern and a BT Smart Hub too if it’s best to piggy back off then and not plug the ADSL cable into my own router.
Having issues with a netgear nighthawk x6 too, speeds over Ethernet are slower than using the homehub. Can’t figure it out either!
I was due my FTTP (900)install in March, obviously with COVID I’ve not received it. I’ve checked up on suitable routers and often issues arise with MTU settings, try a full reset of the router, all settings and check the MTU
Meant to mention if the MTU is wrong it can cause packet fragmentation.
Thankyou for the video mate upgraded today!
Does anyone know what spped the ethernet port in the ONT is and will a new one be needed when BT upgrade their package speeds?
It's only 1gb unfortunately and that means that they're going to create a huge amount of e-waste as soon as they offer a higher download speed.
The reason for it being 950/110 is because that's the theoretical throughput of a 1gb port too.
That’s silly to me. Surely they’d use 10gbps?
Hey man - thanks for the info, I am getting BT FTTP 500 package in a couple of weeks. Interesting about the router situation, can you recommend one that works better than the BT one please?
Nighthawk X6
Anyone tried it with the orbi mesh??
I am now with Hey Broadband :) about to get connected on Thursday 1000mbps down and upload hope it goes well.
Bruh i have fttc and it is hell
Ditch your smart hub 2 and get the original BT Ultrafast hub, it’s a lot better than the smart hub 2 it’s not very good. I am on the full fibre 500 package from the 250 with a netgear ex8000 extender & bt ultrafast hub works really well 👍 also put your hub somewhere up high with nothing surrounding it so it’s on it’s own..
im with virginmedia its been great for a long time nice speeds i was happy with 37 upload but a week ago they started throttling my speeds like clockwork they drop weekdays 18:00-23:00 they drop, and sunday 13:00 - 23:00 they drop...
Im here in nz can't comment on BT I have some done work with an isp to determine what gear they should support through this we determine that Linksys asus and Netgear devices don't have the resources to function at the highest speeds but that still doesn't explain why you get any less than what you did
Our connections mostly are 1gigabits with the fastest plan being 10 gigabits on ftp we went with a higher power fritzbox+ nokia ont for connections up to 1gigabit and especially design ont from Nokia for 10gig
Hi I've signed up for Sky's £25 Super fast broadband which is around 63-74mb speeds. In terms of overall speeds, WiFi performance and customer service (now) do you think it was worth the investment? (Was on Plusnet previously)
I have always bought and used my own router as the ones I’ve kept getting supplied with were totally garbage. Totally worth looking into. I’ve been interested in possibly upgrading my router because we have a gigabit Ethernet connection Upload and download and my router can’t Output those type of speeds. I think the max mine can do is about 400 to 300 up and down. Pretty nice overall but ya know could be better.
haha haha 60 quid for near gig speeds you should be happy about that here in australia 70 to 80% of the population will never see those types of speeds for that price
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing. Just ordered full fibre 900 from the 300/50 package, same as you. I already have the homehub 2 or what ever it's called. Hopefully I get some big improvements. I have noticed that my BT speeds are what they should be, but on WiFi the speeds are seriously degraded & I have 4 BT extender discs in the house !!!!!
Regards the depression. Been there & done that. Hopefully you have a good support network around you. It can be beaten. Have liked & subscribed. I would be interested in an upgraded router as well once one has been fully evaluated & is working well. Best wishes & stay safe
your linksys issue sounds like it doesnt have a true gigbit nic. and its possible the new openreach modem doesnt have 100mbps duplex thus you now only get 100mbs. i would try a new router.
Maybe this comment has been made before. If so - apologies. Otherwise, is it not possible that BT recognise their own equipment and therefore are able to discriminate against LinkSys, Belkin etc. routers and limit their throughput?? I ask this because I am convinced that this happened to me years ago.
im so jealous i have BT but i only get 20m down 2-3m up it so slow
Not that slow mate.
Why such a high Ping are you doing speed test on wifi? would have expected below 5ms on fttp, getting this installed early next month hope it isn't 14ms like you have shown.
I live 100-150 miles from the nearest test server. It’s a very common ping in my county :)
@@theryanthomas cheers, getting this installed in a few weeks and hoping for lowest ping possible, live in manchester
Hi Ryan I’m wondering is it possible to put router into modem mode so i can put a cable into my udm pro ?
So your UDM will plug straight into the ONT using the WAN port on the Pro itself. It’s not a modern per se but it does mean that your UDM Pro handles routing duties.
and here im happy with my 30 mbps down and 5 mbps up :)
Lol I got 17mbps download and 1mbps upload. I just watch Netflix or UA-cam at full HD. Works perfect for that. Not a huge Gamer so don't need the download speed.
“It’s not like we’re going to be getting super quick speeds anyway” ... Me sitting here < 1 miles from my exchange with 8mbps download 👁👄👁
And that’s me just getting FTTC now 😂😂😭😭
Bro I can't have this speed because I live in Bournemouth town just have 67MB what is not enough for gaming them doesn't want to do a upgrade on the products but also don't do nothing to leave the people more happy.
67mg not enough for gaming?? LOOOL
Help or advice please. I have signed up and just had Full Fibre 900 installed in my home and I am severely disappointed with what I have so far. To be clear it is full fibre Halo 900 I went for with guaranteed minimum speed of 455mbps and max speeds up to 930mbps! The hub is located in the bottom front right room (think 4 rooms downstairs, 4 bedrooms upstairs in a house about 15 years old). Speed when in same room as hub (using speed tester in myBT app), to hub 430/96 (down/up), to device 58/27. Speeds in bedroom upstairs (upstairs front right), to hub 537/99, to device 30/27. Speed in back bedroom (upstairs back right - my covid work room atm), to the hub 628/96 to the device 12/11. The device is an iPad Air. Surely these speeds cannot be acceptable. For comparison purposes, on the same device using its 4G mobile connection (also a service provided by BT), in the upstairs back right bedroom, I get 79/38 on Fast.com. In conversation with BT customer help, they basically say they are fulfilling their obligation and it is not their problem. Aside from the fun I am having with BT (I am waiting for a manager to call me) what can I do to get a proper speeds throughout the house? With school going teenagers and having to work from home due to Covid, a functioning internet is now an essential requirement. FYI. I was sent a BT smart hub 2.
You are testing using an Ipad Air that would then be a wireless connection these speeds are only achievable when using a wired ethernet connection i.e Cat6 cable to the router, I would have thought BT support would have told you that from the get go. Fastest wireless will probably be a few hundred meg/bit on latest 802xx protocols. Functional internet for school? getting 100meg+ right now is more than ample anyway so irrelevant to you.
Further to this if you have a current 2019/20 IPAD they are capable of 866mps on wifi - but that's theoretical like the 'upto 80meg' FTTC offering has overheads - Latest BT smart hub is using 802.11ax but only on the 5gig/hz band which is hopeless for going through walls of houses rather like mobile 5g (higher the frequency the worse it is to penetrate objects like bricks etc) it is gigabit capable (1.5gigbit theoretical) i would expect you to get around 750ish being right next to the router and assuming no other connections affect speed throughput. But as I stated earlier if you want a full reliable con use Ethernet wire. Testing in bedrooms etc forget getting anywhere near 750mbits using 5g/hz wifi. Only suggestion I could give you would be get repeater wifi boosters but even then they have to receive via 5g/hz through same walls, might increase a bit but not much, better solution would be ethernet wire to the bedrooms from the smart hub to another wifi repeater/hub then connect to that, not the main BT smart hub.
Thank you for your video!!!
dont forget the router is a small computer and total speeds can be bottlenecked with an old router
500 has been removed now. 900 is still there
I'm from penzance cornwall
I pay 6 pound for my 10mb down and 1mb up. 😔

I was super upset moving into my new home because we had copper cable internet by called it fibre but it wasn’t full fibre with speed of 15mbps / 1.5 megabytes roughly (an average), this is the max in my area making me angry because I have a lot of devices in my home that require fast connection and I moved from Virgin 500mbps but I just found out by are installing gigabit in the area now by March and I cannot wait this I’m not ungrateful for my internet speed but it does hinder my work and casual usage and gaming it looks great being able to download fast
Just BT being unrealisable. Best option is to use EE or ZEN for their gigabit internet
Zen don't offer gigabit for home users yet.
Could anyone please help me out, so this fiber to premises do BT put fiber to a box inside the home then is it Ethernet cable to router?? Or fully fiber to router?? Any help will be greatly appreciated, many thanks
That’s it. There’s an optical network terminal which converts the fibre to Ethernet inside the property.
Ryan-Thomas thanks for that fella
Not a problem bud
I'm using 15mb , now finally getting 900mb in 15th can't wait lol 😆
We would love this here in Australia. The fastest is 94 34
Fuck the NBN I guess aha, I have 150/30 in the uk, and that's the lowest fibre package you can get.
@@VarissNI you can actually purchase slower FTTP packages - BT's current stack is 36/7, 50/10, 74/20, 150/30, 300/50 and 910/110, but Openreach wholesale have others too.
@@JackFellOver don't forget 500/73, this gem actually disappeared from BT's website but is available on the phone.
@@JackFellOver although keep in mind, 36-72 packages are delivered through FTTC if the line can deliver that speed.
@@VarissNI The sub 100 speeds you mentioned can be ordered on FTTP too. I know because we had Full Fibre 2 (74/20) after our 30mbit FTTC and before Full Fibre 100. The two technologies are in separate sections of the BT website though.
Hadn't seen the 500/73 package recently, didn't know it was still sold by BT.
are u using 5g wifi
Just ordered mine
Got this installed last week however they have given me the older version of the smart hub which i cannot understand why they would do so. Not got any speeds higher than 500 even though i went for the 900 package, tried it on the older smart hub version they have sent and also my netgear XR500 and still only 500 on a wired speedtest, did you get the full bandwitdth from day 1 or did it take time to settle? i ask because i only went live a few days ago so hoping it increases to 900 soon.
Hi Paul! Sorry it took me a while to reply. I'm not sure why they gave you an older version of the Smart Hub :/ Within about 24 hours my connection settled at about an 800/120 average :) Also, after 3 hard resets of my Linksys unit, it decided to finally play ball.
Paul Gaster is your QOS setting switched on with your Netgear router? That used to happen to me... Try switching QOS off and you should get more speed through Ethernet.
Paul Gaster also to add... Switch off “Access Control” option in the desktop router login page, that’ll most likely resolve your issue.
Ryan-Thomas wdym by hard reset? factory resetting it?
Hi Ryan, I've just upgraded to the 910mb package from bt, unfortunately my router, smart hub 2 is only pumping out 440 max, any ideas on how I can actually get what I pay for? BT sent an 'engineer' that hadn't got a clue tbh, thanks in advance if you reply

Are you doing some sort of PPPOE to connect to their network?
In the UK, if you're connecting over openreach network; PPPoE is needed. Some AltNet ISPs use PPPoE, though most seem to use DHCP authentication.
Hey you're doing perfectly well mate... 😍
You too bud!
im fotunate, I've got cityfibre ( vodafone gigabyte ) bt gigabyte and now VM gigabyte in my street in Edinburgh
*clears throat* Its gigabit not gigabyte.
hi mate i was looking up about replacing my router when i upgrade to 300mb i read up you need a router with gfast technology on it
I’ve not heard this before. Youd be going from the ONT which converts the fibre to copper anyway so it’s not a problem.
@@theryanthomas you don't need G.FAST because he isn't on G.FAST that uses the old Copper lines its irrelevent for FTTPs connections like the 900/100 service they are full fibre
Thats G.fast technology, which requires a G.fast modem to connect to the G.fast side pod through your old copper phone line.
I’m just waiting for toob in Southampton 900 down and up for £25 a month so excited about those speeds
Barry Manock Jesus that’s insane. I’m on by full fibre 100 for 52 quid
I have 500mbps with vm paired with the ax12 router. However vm is rubbish for gaming as they use that shitty puma chipset and bt full fibre got activated here! So I’ll be ordering today! Hopefully the ax12 and my 1m cat 8 gets out too better use
I have a Orbi Wifi6 with the 1gb/s plan from BT. Mine works fine when plugged into ethernet getting 960mb/s. Sounds like an issue with the router.
Rizty are you connecting the ORBI straight to the ONT on the wall or are you just connecting it via the Ethernet to the super hub?
Better than virgin media??
