most of the house is wired cat7 ethernet cable I'll bet it's not earthed properly. And that it's patch leads, not installation cable ....

the odd patch cable to conect to some devices,the rest was installed when i moderised the house,they were put under floors and behind the walls ,i put in 2 inch plastic plumbing pipe with draw stirngs to pull the cabes in each room,and it was earthed in the main switch unit
and from the junction box as it enters the house

I tip my hat - 99.9% of the time domestic users don't go the extra mile. Are you in the game or are you a civilian?

a civilian,but if anything gets done it gets done properly or not at all,i do not do bodge jobs at all,its always just as easy to do the job right in the first place and it always harder to put the job right..at the moment we are doing a extension building for a av/cinema room,lots of cables to be hid motorised curtains over the projector screen opening to the sound of pearl and dean, ,im concealing speakers, subs and a projector plus floor lighting and subs under some of the seats for vibro sound,i have put in a computer floor for easy access,for the cables and other things |

If you're interested in broadband quality monitoring, try signing up and adding a monitor for your broadband connection to ThinkBroadband's Broadband Quality Monitor. It'll work for as long as your WAN IP address lasts, which is often the time your router is left on but can be longer. Even if it changes every week or two, it'll give you valuable information on the quality of your line and you can edit in the new IP address as and when it changes. Setting up is easy as it tells you what it detects as your IP address.  |

Thanks for that, Martin. As I've used their speed tester for years I thought I might as well set up the quality monitor. Interestingly it's grabbed my IPv6 address rather than the bog-standard IPv4.  IPv6 seems to give me slightly better speeds too. |

That's interesting, Paul. As you know, I had to disable IPv6 as it prevented Netflix on my LG TV from working properly. When I switch to Sky Q with its Netflix, I'll restore IPv6 and try again.

I thought you'd got it disabled, that's why I mentioned it. For the apparent speed increase, it might not be worth your while buggering anything else up though, and that was only one test. I've never known two speed testers to agree, which is why I usually stick with the Thinkbroadband tester. I don't know if it's accurate, but at least I've got a baseline to let me know whether I'm faster or slower than usual. |

If you want your monitoring to be continuous even if your IP address changes, register for a free dynamic DNS with noip.com and enter the dynamic DNS details in that section of your router and in your thinkbroadband.com quality monitor (you'll need to create a new one).

This is what I'm getting, which is not bad compared with some of the connections we're monitoring at work...  |

Is there anyone in the broadband business who can translate this nonsense from Vodafone? I've had it with BT Infinity, whose speeds are getting worse and worse. In this single page, Vodafone give an estimated download speed of 12.4-19.6 Mbps (we're currently getting 14), but Openreach confirms a minimum download speed of 58Mbps. However, sync speed to the router is guaranteed at 25Mbps but finally the average download speed is 35Mbps. It's no wonder the public doesn't know what it's buying much of the time!  |

I've just hopped onto the Vodafone site and tested mine The BT Tester tells me that I can have ... I'm actually already on Superfast Fibre Plus and using ThinkBroadband's tester I was, 5 minutes ago, getting this...  It's all just bloody numbers and designed to confuse. |

BT are sending me their latest Hub in an attempt to appease me with our dreadful Infinity speed. I didn't bother telling the poor sap that I have a Draytek router which is infinitely (!) better than any of their Hubs.
I have a contract termination date of 8 September and I can't wait.
Plusnet are looking the most promising to gain our business. It won't fix the line problem, but it'll give me a fresh start to get Openreach to actually look at it without BT constantly blocking me. And it'll cost us half what we're paying at the moment.
