The backhaul capacity to the GPON splitter node is 2.5Gb/s (or in some newer installations 10Gb/s) which is shared between up to 32 users. If you want an uncontended service, you would need to pay Megabucks for a leased line.</P> Sat, 22 May 2021 15:55:43 GMT licquorice 2021-05-22T15:55:43Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/900mb-s-service-only-reaching-around-500mb-s/m-p/2163277#M1215738 <P>I understand that I'm not guaranteed 900 but I've never reached over 800 and rarely get over 600. Is this something I have to swallow or is it something BT could sort? The engineer mentioned something about throttling.</P> Sat, 22 May 2021 14:15:00 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/900mb-s-service-only-reaching-around-500mb-s/m-p/2163277#M1215738 Jacobz 2021-05-22T14:15:00Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/900mb-s-service-only-reaching-around-500mb-s/m-p/2163288#M1215739 <P>As stated on your other thread, FTTP is a contended service, which is why it is so cheap.
