Full Fibre 900 - 40mbps?

[THECOYOTE99]

Finally got fibre installed and its a lot faster than what i had before but meant to have 900mbps but getting 40-60mbps. Is this just cuz its a new install?

Try using.  https://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ Or fast.comusing ethernet cable not wifi

[THECOYOTE99]

Used that site and on ethernet. 41.1mbps

Are you connecting the ethernet cable direct from hub to your device not using powerline adapters?

Yeh i tried direct. I also tried wifi on my phone still showing the same download speeds

Pretty depressing tbh. Download speed is a whopping 50mbps maximum. Starting to think i may have just signed up to the most expensive package of my life for a speed thats the same as I had with normal fibre. I did the test on bt website which claims my box is getting the full speed. Defo isnt tho. Tried every combo possible with cat cables and connections to the router. The router defo would not be bottlenecking my download speed to this degree. Something is clearly wrong with the install somewhere.

Its more likely that your computer cannot handle a faster speed, especially as you were getting the same before you upgraded. You need a very fast PC with a  good Ethernet card to see the full speed. Faster speeds simply mean that   that  multiple users can share the connection without slowing down.

Built the PC myself it's a 8 core ryzen 7 with super fast ethernet card onboard. Even connecting my mobile phone to the wifi im getting the same low speed. It's defo the install that has an issue. Phone would at least be getting 150mbps
