Dnk Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Right I upgraded to full fibre and the engineer fitted it yesterday. BT Halo 3 which has estimated 500mbps download and 73mbps upload All appears to be working as it should and the pc seems to be quicker but when doing a broadband speed test on my pc its under 50mbps download but on my iphone its 454mbps Am i missing something here as I had around 40 odd mbps download on the old copper connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is PC cable or wifi? Hardly an old cable cat5 throttling the connection if the former.... If the latter some old wifi cards could be slow too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted Tuesday at 09:16 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 AM But how does your computer/laptop connect to the router? thats probably where your bottleneck is. Some old wifi cards/chips are limited to 50mbps. people tend to have new phones every few years. which have pretty good wifi chips in them. a 802.11a or 802.11g chip for example is only 54bps 802.11n is 600mbps. https://wifiadviser.com/blog/wifi-standards-chart/ If your connected with a cable to the router it could be other things.

I don't know whats inside it other than yes your probably right. Going to pop it into a local pc shop who can take a look for me. All the searches i did on my pc said it should be fine with 500mbps but doesn't look like it. BT engineer is coming to do some tests so we'll see what he has to say in the next hour or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
