Broadband Spped

[LawrenceW]

Household of on 2 people, we pay for 150mbs broadband, which I understand isn't huge, but we can't use teams when WFH, facetime or stream anything without lagging? 

When testing my broadband speed online it shows as fine, but only 3 years ago we used to run houses on 30mbps with no lagging, how can I fix this?

@LawrenceW Is it all wireless wifi connected devices?

Hi Jim, yep all wirless. To be honest, I didn't think I would need to bother with a cat cable as we are only a semi detached house.

@LawrenceW When you went FF Full Fibre, is the sky Hub in the same place as when you had the old copper connection to the OR Master Phone socket? Wireless wifi is all about sharing the signal and devices NOT competing or fighting each other for it also!

We put a new connection put in so not the same spot no, it is in the front room which is fairly central to the house.

@LawrenceW As long as you find it is fairly central, and pushing the wifi wireless signal about as needed, then just be sure that you have NO other transmitting devices causing you issues, those can be sky Q / Mini boxes, or other RE Range extenders/booster's.

I covered a whole home with One SR203 hub and one SE210 sky booster, had a few blind spot's and a few area's that struggled but they were all self explained on the old fttc 40/10. When FF500 was installed, i kept the same position, tested the now new SR203 / and old SE210 as back to sky again on the connection for 8 weeks, they just never missed a beat at all!

@LawrenceW When you get a chance run a speedtest.net WEB version as you are all wireless and link up like the sample below, keep an eye on the Up/Down responce as it's doing it! Mine below so you can see the idea!
