Hi all,

 

 

 

Recently sent an advertisement from spark for teh wireless broadband at home.  Currently and adsl and getting upload speeds of < 1mbps and download of about 10 - 14 mbps on average.

 

Today i have installed the new telecom wireless system.

 

Very first speed test 44 mbps download, 10mpbs upload.  so very happy.

 

 

 

Since then however i see a peak speed at the start of the test which jumps from 20 - 40 mbps but part of the way thorugh the speed is consistantly dropping to less than 15mbps, sometimes as low as 6mbps.  IM not sure whats going on, or why i can see some very fast initial times and then it just goes slow.  Is this to be expected with 4g?  Is it also weather dependent?  lastly the ping times are very slow.. much quicker on the adsl?

 

 

 

Just just wondering what peoples experience is with this new service

 

 

 

thanks

 

greg

Moving the modem will help.

 

 

 

You need to remember, Wireless is not a replacement for cables at all.

 

 

 

Latency on adsl vs 4G, adsl will win.

 

14/1 isn't actually a bad adsl connection at all really.. Obviously 4G has more of a boost there, but rather than having a wirespeed you have many variables that go in together to make up your speed at that moment.
