If your line was less than 200m in length to the cabinet then you would be getting the full 80Mbps downstream sync rate - your line is more likely to be 600m long based on your sync rate. The actual route of your line may not be direct to the cabinet.On a side note, I was Googling Line Attenuation and stumbled across a checker on Speed Guide.net. I put in my 11.1dB figure and was told that I was 800+ metres from my cabinet. Which was surprising as when an Openreach engineer made a recent visit he told me that I was 90 metres from the cabinet (which was pretty close to my own calculation). Is this likely to just be some spurious software estimation?

The 2800? Wow, I mean something in the £30-£50 range !!
TBH, unless you are streaming from one device to another on your own network, the extra WiFi speed is wasted, as it will be restricted by the incoming internet speed.
Even an old "N" spec 150Mbps device is enough for that; although I think the cheapest TPL fibre box has 300Mbps WiFi.
I run the AC750 myself, and am very happy with it.
Just be aware that ANYTHING you do online now could get you classified as a terrorist.
One click and you're out: UK makes it an offence to view terrorist propaganda even once
Oh snap. UK netizens better hope they don't have twitchy mouse-click fingerwww.theregister.co.uk
OK, so far so good. I set up the VPN router this morning and have successfully watched some 4K Netflix on the TV's Netflix app downstairs.
I am connected via a Powerlines adapter plugged into the VPN router as apparently the wifi speeds leave something to be desired on these cheap units.
It could always be a fluke, so I'm not putting the bunting up just yet
Pretty much proves Voda were talking bull pucky though, doesnt it??OK, so far so good. I set up the VPN router this morning and have successfully watched some 4K Netflix on the TV's Netflix app downstairs.

Tried 4K Netflix again this morning and got a few buffering moments, so sadly I don’t think the VPN will be my get-to-end-of-contract solution.
I did however submit an email complaint last Weds (via the link on the MyVodafone page) but didn’t get an acknowledgement (as per their process) by Friday lunchtime, so submitted a second complaint (advising them that it was a follow up to my unacknowledged first complaint), and will continue to re-submit the same complaint every 48 hours until I get a response
Not impressed.
Sometimes you will get buffering no matter how fast your connection speed is. I have a fairly solid 75- 80mbps connection 99% of the time, yet still had BBC iPlayer buffer twice a few nights ago - due to an issue at the BBC end. (dropped out entirely for a few minutes - and we got a "technical issues" apology pop up)
Sometimes powerline plugs get hot which thenb causes speed problems we have two sets so when we see things slowing down we swap them over. This fixed the lag issues on the gaming comupter upstairs.
I come back to my original points at the start of the thread. Network contention/congestion.
You can throw everything at it to try and make your internet "work", but it's clear as day and no real secret for those working in the industry that Vodaphone are pushing their network to it's limits.
