Great! So happy for then! Love that for them! Me? Nah I don’t need that, my 20mbps is plenty enough thanks
No mention of upload. hopefully it’s symmetrical as upload bandwidth always gets forgotten about and just as important.
Your lucky, between go fibre and open reach, I can’t even get my installation done, neither want to take a little time get the fibre into the ducting which is there, they want to just stick poles up, been told no by myself and various prorty owners, just lazy badtards the lot of them.
ISPs love to get people on faster and faster connections (which involve higher and higher fees). In reality alot of people dont use a fraction of their 1Gbps connection and dont need the speeds they pay for
For the low low price of £200,000 per month, assuredly
I really don’t think people in the UK know how far behind the rest of the world the UK is in terms of communications and technology – spoiler, it’s third world at best.
Where I was living abroad I’d had a symmetrical 10Gbps connection since 2018, and FTTP since 2010. Here I only got FTTP in September last year – absolutely shocking for a country that claims to be a leader in technology.
Yeah great.
I’ve got an entire university campus on 10gig, and it rarely goes over 1gig for user traffic.
A single home doesn’t need above a gig IMHO. You’d need to either be cabled or on WiFi 7 to even stand half a chance of pushing it, even with multiple users.
It’s all headline grabbing nonsense.
Okay EE, could you at least give me some phone signal? Thanks.
„The customer reported they were happy until they hit their 100GB monthly ‚fair usage cap‘ in less than two minutes.“
I remember using BT’s Friends & Family discount to get 5% off my Demon 1p a minute local call using my 14.4K modem.
Sick of the rural broadband being years behind the times, no fibre, no 5g just a wet string. The speeds talked about here might as well be infinite compared to shit some us have to put up with.
How many concurrent 4K Netflix streams do we think this will be sold as in their marketing?… 8? 10?!
I’d rather have a symmetric 1000/1000, than 8000/150. Especially with working from home, having a symmetrical speed is highly beneficial for syncing.
I’ve also started getting into homelabbjng and getting into self-hosting services. Higher upload speeds are absolutely a must for accessing those services remotely
I honestly don’t think any residential premises need more than 1gbps. Our eyes aren’t really good enough to.see.much better than 4k a 1gbps connection would happily run 20 4k streams. You can download a console/pc game in 15 mins and a film in seconds. Again games dobt really need to.get much better graphically as we just won’t be able to tell. Having 600/600 I’ve never though you know what I need more and we are a household of 6 of very heavy use. I’m only upgrading to 900/900 tomorrow as it’s £29 a month where as I currently pay £32. Also get a wifi7 router for free so why not. A lot of people issue with internet is WiFi. Now these people will say WiFi meaning the internet but they should actually be refering to the WiFi. Think of it like this, you could have a 100mbpa connection but poor WiFi so only 30% of the bandwidth gets to your device or 30mbps. You upgrade to 200mbps and you still get 30% but now that 60mbps. You pay a premium for this spreed where you could be on an old fibre to the cabinet line capable of 80mbps and pay less. You improve the WiFi and have a better speed than the 200mbps connection. I don’t think there will ever be a time that more rhan 1gbps will be necessary. Even a £50 router will show your bandwidth usage and you can see if it really necessary.
Great. I’m on 4mbps and no one is even going to look at improving it til May 2028. Maybe they can start working on the little people.
They can connect a person to 8gb but I’m stuck on a 32mbps down 5mbps up on a good day connect yeah great
Do we have the technology in devices to actually use 8Gbps?
I was on Community Fibre 3 Gigs for around 3-4 years, upgraded to 5gig a year ago, I think the upload is 1 gig
You can only download something as fast as the server you are connected to can upload it. There aren’t many places you could download from that would have 8Gbps upload.
Half of me wonders why the heck would somebody need 8gbps… but the other half wonders why the heck not? One day in the future (2050 and beyond) that speed will be needed as the infrastructure catches up, plus hopefully it will help to make the 1.6 and 2gbps speeds cheaper too.
For today though? It’s more of a luxury than anything else.
