Soooo, I'm currently at a premier inn and they claim to have free WiFi capable of streaming UHD. I think not, Kcom
. Im so glad I brought my 4GEE with me (no it's not on EE, it's on 3)
It says Kcom in the bottom cornerI was going to be magnaimous (I know, so unlike me!) and say "Maybe they're on three!" but its only 22ms latency, so obviously thats not the case!![]()
As much as I hate Kcom for their predatory pricing, it's not Kcom that's slow. It'll be their network configuration.Soooo, I'm currently at a premier inn and they claim to have free WiFi capable of streaming UHD. I think not, Kcom. Im so glad I brought my 4GEE with me (no it's not on EE, it's on 3)

When 30Mb is "superfast" I guess 10Mb probably can be categorised as "blisteringly fast"............like 33Mb is 10% quicker than "superfast".....I do notice that they have "WiFi Ultimate" network which you have to pay £20 for which lets you "Connect 3 device at a blisteringly fast 10 Megabits per second". I'm not joking. It says that on the website when you connect to it, what an eye opener......
I do notice though that most of the ISPs show 10Mb as 'Fast'. Blisteringly fast is 500Mbps+ to me so it doesn't really make sense. The animal thing is almost like orange used to do with their pay and go plans but nevertheless it's still the bestWhen 30Mb is "superfast" I guess 10Mb probably can be categorised as "blisteringly fast"............like 33Mb is 10% quicker than "superfast".....
I think OFCOM should make ISP's use animals for broadband speeds, would work much better....gigabit could be an entry level "Rabid honeybadger"
Its one the next village over Fornham St martain, about 80miles off London if that gives it any context.It says Kcom in the bottom corner. I even thought Kcom was a gigabit capable FTTP network?
Maybe its one of those "gigabit capable" FTTC networks?
Best thing I've heard all day and it's only 7:30So here's my suggestions for OFCOM following my previous idea, all speeds are expected to be delivered on or above above their minimum requirements for 23 of 24 hours.
<50Mbps Sloth "to tired to eat" package
50>100Mbps Meerkat "mid-day snack" package
100>300Mbps Tiger "Wilder-beast buffet" package
300>700Mbps Giant Panda "Bamboo crunch" package
1Gbps Rabid Honey badger "Shred everything" package
I have noticed 3 keeps bouncing between B1 and B3 (traffic management?), and when B1 gets taken out of the equation, I keep getting bizarre stalls on website loading.
Thats my experience at least, ymmv
