My mother-in-law now has a mobile instead of a land line in her OAP home. So how do you get broadband..? *Reliable and fast* mobile broadband is still some way off, certainly here in the UK. That's because the UK has ****ing terrible infrastructure. I just did a quick speedtest.net test of my mobile broadband: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/5143807298 Unfortunately the UK population seems more interested in blaming foreigners and electing clowns than actually doing anything about said woeful infrastructure, so ¯\_(?)_/¯. 23-07-2019 16:38:46 (GMT) 10.4 Mbps 0.5 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:54:27 (GMT) 8.2 Mbps 0.5 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:52:52 (GMT) 8.0 Mbps 0.6 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:51:23 (GMT) 3.1 Mbps 0.6 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:49:57 (GMT) 9.1 Mbps 0.6 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:41:25 (GMT) 6.1 Mbps 0.6 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:38:20 (GMT) 7.7 Mbps 0.6 Mbps EE 23-07-2019 15:23:15 (GMT) 1.3 Mbps 0.4 Mbps EE This is my crap broadband this afternoon. Is that mobile (4G), WiFi or wired data? Sorry. Wired internet. The amazing thing is I've managed to persuade EE something is wrong! Is that ADSL or VDSL (ie, FTTC)? It would be mediocre for the former, but terrible for the latter. For a period I was getting similar poor performance from my FTTC line. I kept complaining, and each time they sent an Openreach technician who usually got me back up to 50Mbps download/10 upload, but it didn't last. Finally, I told BT that I'd had enough, and demanded that they release me from my contract. They reluctantly agreed, and I've changed ISP. I've now got my final BT bill with the hefty cancellation charge, which I hope they will cancel as promised. With my new ISP, I now get completely consistent speeds on a wired connection (it's more variable on WiFi). You probably don't want to look at the speeds I get now… https://www.flickr.com/photos/recliner/48239986081/in/dateposted-friend/lightbox/ If I want faster, it's readily available, with no hardware changes, but the price goes up. However, I really don't think I have any conceivable need for more. It's VDSL. My line is so bad that the maximum realistic speed is 13Mbps which it has been since it was repaired a few weeks ago. Our evening storm has just started and the speed has dropped again. Normally this means the connections in my outside waterproof master socket (which isn't waterproof) have corroded... again. That's too bad, particularly the upload speeds. You must be a long way from the cabinet. I'm 2.09 Km as the gull flies from the exchange (between Penarth and Dingle Road railway stations) but I'm about 1.6 K from my cabinet which is probably at least 2.5 Km electrically from the exchange. |
