Actually you have internet, broadband comes over a copper phone line

Still got 2 miles of copper, can't believe how fast it is in comparison, I would advise anyone who is within 2 or 3 miles of a box to get a speed test,

Oh, do you mean you used to have satellite now you have something different?

I had a dish that cost me £70 a month, but what it was there for I'm not sure, used to sit in the chair waiting for pictures to load, BT conected us today, fibre came to the village two miles away so it's copper from there, the boy just jumped up in the air and said this is the best Internet ever

Yes you have broadband now, most likely FTTC (fibre to the cabinet, then copper from cabinet to your house).
Much better than copper all the way back got the exchange which might be 5 miles away.

Just gone onto local Fibre broadband and getting these speeds how do these compare to others this is on the iPadView attachment 223148

[Kidds]

You are going to meet yourself coming back with those speeds.

I would be happy if the 97 was replaced by a 0, and I got 0.79mb/s! Boo hiss.

Ping 307ms Download 5.34 Mb/s Upload 0.58 Mb/s. No idea if that is good or bad, it seems slow.

It is, but lots on here would love to be at that speed.

We upgraded to super fast fibre last week and are getting around 0.8 download speeds. although at times its down to 0.6 and did test at 0.92 at one point today. 1.8 miles from the cabinet. Doesn't seem all that quick to me

 

[Kidds]

This is with a Solwise router with a Three sim in it.
I have never had speeds anything like this in my house, I reckon I'd get more if I put the router in a better spot. It is about 10x quicker all round than my BT Profanity superfast broadband.

 

[Y Fan Wen]

This morning my upload speed exceeded my download speed .09 v .36

 

[Drillman]

Last night our download speed slowly ground to a total halt. If that's super fast fibre I'm not impressed.

 

[Timbo]

Drillman, you must have a fault on the line
