BT bb adsl so slow

loulou41

I can only achieve a speed of 3m band that is supposed to be good. Just wondering whether upgrading to fibre might help with the speed. Anybody pl explain this to me? If I understand correctly my line can only achieve 2.5 mb

For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (VDSL or G.fast) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

Moving from ADSL to VDSL (also known as FTTC and 'fibre') will allow much faster speeds according to the information you posted, potentially as high as 75Mbps (depending on the product you buy)

If the OP can only get 2.5Mb on ADSL, then I'm not sure that VDSL (FTTC) will give that huge an improvement. I get 14Mb on VDSL, against the 2Mb I had on ADSL.

The predictions that they posted seem to suggest otherwise.

They are probably pretty close to the VDSL cabinet, whereas you were likely a lot further away (1.5 to 2km possibly).

And both you and the OP are probably quite far from the exchange.

Thanks the green cabinet is just opposite my house will that help with the speed?

But how are you connecting and measuring that?

I got 3Mbps on ADSL as the exchange was in the next town. I get 78Mbps on VDSL as the cabinet is 100 yards away. Comparisons between the two technologies for possible speeds are meaningless. The information was in the numbers in the opening post, albeit with the formatting removed so difficult to read.

Yes it will. Your predictions show you should get speeds towards the top end of the scale.

Yes, putting some formatting back in shows the OP will have a huge jump in speed.

Ethernet cable directly connected between computer and router. Speed measured using BT Wholesale site and Ookla. Both give similar results.

OK, that should be correct then. It's just that I have two PCs both connected by Wi-Fi, one gives a result of 44Mbps, the other is just 14Mbps, and I haven't quite figured out why the 14Mbps one is so slow. I need to check it with a wired connection.

Given you had the same number, I'd wondered if you might be suffering from the same issue - whatever that is!
