Hi,
Question for those who have FTTP.
Back in October I moved into a property that had FTTP available - the first property I've lived in to have this luxury. So I signed up to a 160/30 FTTP package with Structured Communications who had Openreach install the service around 2 weeks later.
The broadband has been stable enough but it annoys me that I don't get the full download speed for my line. If this was VDSL or G.Fast I'd put this down to line conditions but I thought FTTP was supposed to pretty much achieve the speed assigned to your line.
I speed test several times a week and tend to find I get around 140Mbps down and around 32Mbps up (so no complaints about the up!). My ping hovers around 15-19ms, which I also think is a tad high but acceptable.
Is this kind of difference between the package speed and actual download speed normal for FTTP, or should I reach out to my ISP and query this?
I've checked this speed from both gigabit wired and AC WiFi devices and get almost identical results.
Many thanks
Alex
