This should more than suffice your needs. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of your traffic over the past couple of weeks were speedtests.
I think you’ve proved that you have an excellent connection which is considerably faster than that of a household your size. It's been a tremendous thorn in your side that for the past couple of years that you were unable to get FTTP. However, its here now and all looks good. Time to sit back and chill and use all that lovely bandwidth for what its intended. I sincerely hope that you are chuffed to bits. I am happy for you and all others that have leaped over to the bright side
FTTC has been an interesting journey, it brought many problems with stability on long lines and kept this forum busy with stats. For me the biggest surprise was how much bandwidth was taken by crosstalk. In the early days many people assumed there was some fault or instability. Even Openreach seemed to have not expected FeXT to wipe out as much [real] SNR. It affected long and short lines.. the shorter lines had harsher PCB. I dont know exactly how many bit load profiles used by Openreach but it is no lie to say that at one point, I could have a pretty good stab at guessing which lines were:-
- Short/long distance from home to the cab. (short/long d-side)
- Their cab was near/far to the exchange (short/long E-side)
all based upon the shape of their bit load table and SNR patterns in the first 4 band plans - particularly U1 and D2.
I learned and shared a lot of DSL info. I trawled through an enormous amount of technical papers and pestered a lot of contacts for more info about BT/Openreach DLM. This info becomes redundant and dies now that we have FTTP. All in all, its the end of an era which at times was hard work, but I enjoyed learning and its been fun working with numerous individuals who have also kindly shared knowledge and time to help others.
Cheers!
