1156221 2010-11-25 01:52:00 Just had Northpower come in today and install our new fibre connection :banana

One guy hooked his laptop up to do some testing to make sure the signal is OK and he was getting just under 100mpbs download!
Pity our actual connection will only be 10mbps up & down. :(

Will do some speed tests when the ISP has been in and installed their router etc.

HOLD ON-- you are the boss -well that blows that theory :lol:

1156226 2010-11-25 03:17:00 Seeing it at 100mbps and only getting 10 is kinda like visiting the holy grail and taking back a souvenir mug. ubergeek85 (131)

For businesses it's more the upload speed that's important. Even ADSL2+ has quite poor upload, compared to symmetrical 10Mbit/s fibre.

I'd hate to know what a 100mbps connection would cost per month :xmouth:
