QOTW: How fast is your broadband?

[Iota]

Via my lovely OpenReach infrastructure? A Lovely 31.5 / 9.5 speed currently at the time of writing this. Via my 4G connection indoors? 34.

My mobile data speed has outstripped the rubbish infrastructure provided via FTTC and copper cabling for the last 500 yards. Honestly, I miss the Virgin Media connection in my old house which was 10x faster than the rubbish I have now. Stone Age Internet speeds.

I got fiber, it is currently set at 500/500mbit, but I can beef it up to 1gbit/1gbit or more if I like to.... not stuck on a crappy upload here ^^

Virgin 350mbs down, 35mbs up.
Has been a little unreliable at times. But most of the time is pretty damn good.

If you're fighting kids for bandwidth whilst working, get a second line. You can get VDSL from Vodafone etc for £22-23 all in, not exactly a lot of money. You can put it against your tax as well if it's exclusively for work.
I started running 2 VDSL lines about 5 years ago when I realised I could get Sky+Talk Talk for the same price as a single BT line.
I've moved since and now have VM 350Mb plus a 4G failover from Three (£16 a month inc the modem, unlimited use)
For those in rental properties where you might not be allowed a 2nd line - in my house they fed the 2 lines down the single multi-core wire and split in the wall socket.

Virgin Media 220 down 20 up, fine for us.

80/20 fibre.

In all honesty it's more than enough download for me but I do wish they'd give me an option to have more upload speed. Having said that I'm lucky in that I can this because it is literally the fastest speed you can get where I live.

350/35, more than fast enough for the two of us. £47 per month with Virgin Media. No phone, TV or anything else included.

Virgin 110Mbps here. Pretty pleased it with overall, but I wish they'd increase the upload from 10Mbps.

[Euphonium]

66Mbit down, 12Mbit up

It's fine for everyday use but new game installs are tedious and my initial cloud backup upload took weeks. My kids complain a lot about "slow wifi" but I think that's the fact my router is old. My PCs are all connected via ethernet cables and I don't see any of the problems they report.
So if anyone has any recommendations for a good WiFi unit, preferably one that can act as a NordVPN (or similar) client I'd appreciate suggestions.

Been with Virgin for years. The internet is great but customer service is a bit rubbish, but you rarely need it. We were with Cable Tel and NTL before it became Virgin and in all that time it really has not been down more than a couple of times for maybe 1/2 a day. As to speeds I get around 150mbs with my ExpressVPN turned on and 380mbs with the VPN turned off. I have tried other VPN's and they only manage 50mbs which is a turn off. Now the kids have left home we don't really need the speed, but hey it's nice to have. If Virgin offer us the 500 or 1gig I might upgrade just for the willy waving.

380 Mbps

I won't say what I pay but VM seem to think I still work there ������������

[3dcandy]

Been hammered recently with covid-19 but was 535 down and 37 up (you tight asses Virgin)
Now is around 365 down and 37 up

[Spreadie]

80meg fibre, but I have NordVPN just so I can occasionally experience the equivalent of 14.4kbps dial-up again.

[junior00027]

1000/40

[Spank]

62/18 fine for me

[ozzell]

42/13 for me, through Origin Broadband using FTTC. No chance of ever get FTTP, even though all the new builds right next to me have it.
Will be moving on from OB soon though, their service is not that reliable and their customer support is mostly terrible when I need them to fix their issues. They read me the same script, I complain, all of a sudden my line goes back to full speed without me changing a thing
