Post by: burakkucat on September 10, 2021, 11:14:13 PM: The fibre cables used are really quite tough. I agree that is does appear to be somewhat odd but with the cable's location at the junction of the two walls it is fairly well protected.

Post by: burakkucat on September 10, 2021, 11:49:15 PM: If there is any future worry that the incoming fibre cable may get too many knocks, then just fixing a steel capping (as used to protect ordinary cables running up a wooden pole) over those few inches would be sufficient.

On a wired connection - what speed can you get?

If you use Speedtest - which host server ae you using?

The problem I am seeing is finding a fast enough host to test the 900 connection - too much contention I expect at the host end... speedtest hosts, for me vary from 600 - 880ish in speed.
