Speed Comparison

Hi

Since my ISP uses the same fibre line as BT can anyone explain to me why BT say they can provide faster speeds than my ISP

Also I am getting 19/20 Mbps as verified by my ISP. My neighbour who is on exactly the same line (the box being 1.2 km away) so from the box to our houses we rely upon the good old Openreach phone lines, says he gets 35Mbps.

How can this be???

He might've said 35~ since that's the fastest you can get on the lowest tier FTTC package. Check his and your postcode here and see what the VDSL Downstream & Upstream speed is.
 
Hi Jake4

Thanks for the reply.

That was a very useful link.

Seems my neighbour is not very well informed or is telling porkys!!

Seems I will have to put up with 19Mbps

Cheers
