Not getting 1GBPS on Gigabit internet
Hi All, I have extensively checked as to why I am not getting my full 1000 down and cant find a solution. I have a powerline adaptor which initially is only getting 200 down (it supports gigabit, and is ethernet run) so I have then ran a Cat 6 High quality *copper* ethernet cable directly from my router to my PC (2.5 gig port) and this is only returning speeds of ~400mbps. My phone on wifi has gotten 800 down max. My network card in my PC supports 1gbps and I have also used safe mode networking and booted into it to try and still only getting 400 down. Im not sure why this may be? Thanks
xgs-pon with own router...
Well... Wish I was advised of this during signup. Now cancelled BT which I was happily using (albeit without symmetrical 1Gbps upload), constant 0-8ms ping on games such as Fortnite or to Cloudflare DNS/Adguard DNS and a stable speed over to the "upgrade"..... Can't use my own router reliably, double-NAT, no modem mode (could use PPPoE auth with BT and Sky[Sky needs DHCP Option 61 enabled]), consistent 5-8% packet loss to GeforceNOW (plus the extra 6-10ms latency...), fluctuating download/upload speeds mainly affecting the upload (burst: 700Mbps then drops steadily until the end of the test sometimes as low as 300Mbps). BT had a speed guarantee of 700Mbps, what is it here? Is there any chance of using my own router without their router also being in "router" mode? I've tried everything I can think of to try and get it working and now I refuse to spend anymore time on it when the whole network was fine prior to moving to Virgin xgs-pon. The whole product seems rushed through the door so as to not lose out with new customer take up in new areas... When is this going to change? If it isn't in the next month can I still cancel or what because this is the worst FTTP implementation I've used....?
