Joe?
getting my ftp fitted today. think they are stringing an optic cable at moment from poles. hoping it goes well.. knowing my luck it wont :D
My signal is gone. Doh. Oh well I've lost TV too for now. Hopefully I will be zooming super fast later
Son on law has come to recover my shed too. Getting all done today. Storms ripped off the felt.
What's an FTP, mate? Anyway, hope it's sorted soon:)
Marco.
Ftp.. Fibre to premises. Currently just have fibre to street. So this will speed me up a bit. Well more than a bit really.Quote:

Marco.
Not so advanced here, some communication is still by beating of Tom-Toms and if you mention 'internet' they think you're talking about football! :)Quote:

I spoke to ‘minimalists’ to find out why they are giving up their personal possessions
They've sold everything because they are skint....
FTTP. FTP is an entirely different thing.Quote:

I know. But it doesn't affect my PC use.Quote:

Anyway, mine seems reasonably swift:

In any case, regardless of fibre, there must be another ISP that can offer you better than 7 MBPS, shurely?:D
Marco.
7 meg is fine for most things. To put it in perspective Netflix recommend you have 5 meg for HD video streaming. 25 meg for Ultra HD.

Gigabit. There's a lot of gigabit round here; some buildings in Norwich have had gigabit for five years.
Elsewhere in the county people are struggling to get 5 meg!
Well GizabitQuote:

Lol - quality! Do you find it makes any real difference, though? I went from 250 MBPS, to around 600 (I've had 650), but with any of the stuff I was doing, even downloading movies:)Quote:

Only in so far as it saves a few seconds on downloads. I don't online game, but I do download a lot of data for work, so that's nice and easy. Some of the downloads are massive!Quote:

The final straw wax a couple of weeks ago when Ursula was on a Teams video call and I was trying to dial into a Skype meeting. The last time it crashed out , I got straight on the phone to EE and ordered their 100MB fibre broadband.
Being installed in a couple of weeks!
checked my speed this morning and its same as yesterday bar a few mbs. so thats good. silly fast but better too much than too little
Stone Age settlement so it has lots of stones. Makes sense to me anyway.Quote:
