Pretty standard in the UK outside of major towns/cities.
- zimpenfish 8y agoNot that uncommon outside of major towns/cities either - I was getting barely 12Mbps on ADSL in inner London, and that only 600m from an exchange.
- nicoburns 8y agoADSL speeds aren't great, but fibre is available almost everywhere in cities in the UK...
- zimpenfish 8y agoTrue. Although even on fibre, I only get 25Mbps peak. Often it's hovering around 18-20Mbps (which is not quite enough for 4K streaming, IIRC.)
- TomMarius 8y agoAnd even that is surely not just for you, but shared.
- somabc 8y agoOf course that's fake fibre aka fibre to the green cabinet in your street. The UK allows that to be marketed as fibre despite the large difference in performance to a real fibre connection.
- zimpenfish 8y agoHaving since upgraded to real fibre (I saw the man splice it into the router connector with my own eyes), the difference is staggering - now I regularly get 500Mbps+ up and down with not infrequent 800Mbps+.
