[Split From] G.fast with Green ISP
« on: December 12, 2019, 08:53:11 PM »

I'm confused, one minute you've renewed with Plusnet, next minute you've ordered Virgin Media and now you're on g.FAST with some ISP we've never heard of before?

You're going to be so bored when you get FTTP and have no line statistics to look at.

As far as the rest goes a recipe for disaster. I don't get a relatively light user's fixation with bandwidth beyond vanity / ego.

I am not worry about no line statistics for future FTTP because FTTP is always on and no DLM. But, how did you know that FTTP will come to my area soon? I thought it will FTTC/G.fast for a very long time now until FTTP around ten years time!

This, anything over 40/10 seems a waste unless you are a business or gamer, or heavy online user.

I don't think 40 is a waste. With the number of people streaming these days, 40 is soon going to become "not enough" for most families/houses with multiple users.

Highly disagree.

40/10 gives about 36Mb/s throughput. A 4k stream uses up to 25Mb/s.

I was syncing at 42/7 until last week and it was very inadequate for my needs. I'm no heavy user, gamer or business.
Just 2 adults and a child.
I've gone with 100Mb on Virgin as the OpenReach network wasn't meeting our needs.

Max definitely didn't need above 80/20.
He could probably have downgraded to 40/10.

Huge generalisation to say anything above 40/10 is a waste and was the same type of stuff being spouted  when FTTC 1st came out.

I used to get fairly bad buffering on John lewis 40/10 service, so I carefully read all the T/C's and found they were "Managing the throughput" to 150k on streaming.... ???
So the only way to fix it was going to 80/20, no more buffering!
But since then, the goal posts have moved and now 40/10 completely unrestricted  :fingers:
A couple of weeks ago I had one leg dis on the line therefore only getting 13Mb down but still able to watch Netflix in UHD  :o so I thought I would check the bit rate, but it was the same as I normally get!
 :) :) :)

I'm seeing bursts of 35Mbit watching Expanse on Amazon 4K HDR.  Granted, it would average out as lower more frequent bursts if my connection was slower, but it does decrease the chance of stalling/buffering if you have much faster than you need, especially if other people in the house are using the connection at the same time.

I was hitting peaks of 42Mbit watching BBC iPlayer in 4K last night.

No fibre for 40/10 will get 42Mbit, impossible. The max speed on fibre 40/10 are 38Mbit

That was my point, I was replying to "nobody needs more than 40Mbit".
