they must have upgraded the line cos i now get 5ms,,and i have noticed i dont have any banding going on any more in games with people from USA any more !!! i love it !!
Getting over 1040mb both up and down. Ping 2 ms. Really friendly service, installation very smooth. The Arris router is great, wireless never loses signal.
Try the FritzBox 5690 Pro it has a 2,5Gbit LAN Port and you can plug the Fiber Cable directly into the Router but you need a 2,5Gbit LAN Pcie Card for your PC i think you can get over a 1000 with that in both directions greetings from Germany 😊
i did the same thing ,, i was paying £45 a month for 250 down and 20 up from virgin media ,,,,,,,, i saw the 1gig up and down for £32 month with ip address ,,,and i just went for it !! best thing i ever did !! ,,,would i go back to virgin media ,,,proby not ,, ied stay and go on lower package if i couldn't afford it
hey mate, are you paying for the youmesh thingy to have better coverage throughout the house? i'm wondering if the router sends a strong signal without the need of the mesh thingy
No, the wifi is a little bit weaker than virgin media's hub 4 , but I've never had a problem. And if I did ied get a wifi access point ans wire a lan cable to it for better performance
Hi mate, did they install an external box on the outside wall along with that one that's on your wall? Or did they run it up beside the existing Openreach/BT fibre line? Was there any digging involved at all?
Did you say they use Bt lines to connect it. I spoke to someone from youFibre and they said it’s below ground so I assumed the same as virgin is connected
Depends if your line to your house comes from a pole or underground, they will probably just use the a new line in the same duct as the bt one. Ours used the bt line to tie to from the pole
im so confused the speeds were amazing on wifi for first 1 or 2 weeks with 400 download and 200 ish upload but since then my speeds have been way slower and inconsistent with horrible ping wtf happened
@@RichMantarayi would if i could but atm dont have eithernet cable so i have to deal with wifi at the minute. still dont know why the speeds dropped so much after that time period though. i would say because my house is garbage with the walls or whatever but doesent explain how i was getting 400 now only 30 to 120 depending on how lucky i am

i have a 2.5G switch and lan port on my PC and one on The server that i use to host game for friends
UPDATE: STILL waiting for my landline to be ported! not happy! many promises, no result.
I’m thinking about leaving virgin and going to these. How’s your experience been?

Would you say that you're satisfied with your switch a month later?
2 month, and yes best Internet I've.ever had

no digging and the ran a fibre line from post along singe the bt copper wire
Did you say they use Bt lines to connect it. I spoke to someone from youFibre and they said it’s below ground so I assumed the same as virgin is connected
Nope dedicated fibre line from the BT post ,,,, i imagine it does go under ground at some point
Depends if your line to your house comes from a pole or underground, they will probably just use the a new line in the same duct as the bt one. Ours used the bt line to tie to from the pole
They don’t use BT lines, but the existing open reach (BT) underground ducts, save having to dig anymore. Own network, own fibre👍
Occasionally overhead lines also. Same scenario, BT infrastructure, Netomnia FIbre

first things first ,,,,WiFi is not internet :) , u never measure your internet over wifi ,,,,,, plug a lan cable in to a PC and run a speed test
