Yeah, it can be fun watching people post tidbits, like they a regular user, but must be in the industry somewhere to know that information as its behind OR ISP portal or other NDA areas, I always appreciate when people dont mind declaring who they work for or affiliations etc.

So some more developments. AA portal showing mid June as install date now, waiting on civils. This is normal practice. However, today, civils team arrived and managed to pull through fibre without any digging required. Even heard one of them saying “I thought this was a direct bury area”. But never mind, they were able to attach fibre to the end of my copper cables, pull those all out and out popped the fibre, now taped up in a coil outside my door, they said they’d be back to complete today/tomorrow.

Good news then.

My AAISP FTTP should be online hopefully during May, if lucky even April.

[dee.jay]

Civil guy claimed they could finish whole job (including internals) so could be imminent!

[dee.jay]

Well, that's it.

AAISP FTTP is now live.

What?  No Speed Test? :p

[Chrysalis]

Waiting for speed test (include single threaded please if you can).

Well I didn't think to grab the URL result for my best result, and turns out I need to rework my internal LAN a bit a machine with a single 1Gbps NIC on a stick means you only get 500Mbps and I'd forgotten that, so moving router to a new box.

To follow, but it's in and working and 950Mbps, and I'm done, the end.

[Chrysalis]

thank you.

[dee.jay]

thank you.

As you expected?

[Chrysalis]

I guess yeah, single threaded on TBB can be a little sporadic, Over 700 I consider a reasonable result.  Multi threaded of course looks solid which I definitely expected.

When my CF install is done, whenever that may be I will share the speedtest from that as well, alongside a late VM test as a comparison.

[Alex Atkin UK]

Agreed, I see a lot of people on TBB forum blaming Zen for poor single-thread tests but its clearly TBB itself.  From the right server I can hit Gigabit single threaded, I don't think I ever once have on the TBB speed test.

I've had to wait until after work hours to do a full router swap, so hopefully get that done in the next few hours, managed to point my work laptop at it but v6 is still going over Starlink which I didn't want to touch

There ya go pal - the prints do allude that the lead-in's are DiG, but not in your particular case. The engineer would (I would hope), have looked at those before attending site, and upon seeing it as actually ducted, grown a wide grin on his kipper. 

Real world scenarios always chuck curve-balls. Your estate may well be DiG lead-in's, but (for example) a previous occupant may have experienced issues with their circuit and some time in the past the lads have replaced the DiG aspect with a ducted route to your house ?? All guess work.

However, good to see you've finally got what you've been seeking, for quite a while. I'm on BRSK 1Gig symmetrical and it's fantastic.
