Hi All

 

This is a repost from the general broadband forum

 

I am lucky enough to live about 30m from a DSL cabinet.

 

Fritzbox 7490 is reporting line speed of 124/29 which is great.

 

Speedtest consistently tops out at 49/19.  I have tried adjusting the obvious settings on the fritz box and using different speedtest end points.

 

I am with Xnet (now Vodafone next generation).

 

Is Vodafone/xnet throttling my connection?  Should Speedtest report closer to my linespeed, or can their be other issues.  I have a neighbour with VDSL on 2degrees who is getting similar line speed to me but over 100Mb down on Speedtest.  I have tried switching to the xnet provided modem and got the same Speedtest result.

 

Cheers

 

Chris...

No

Actually - Is Xnet throttling my connection - YES!

 

While this is not listed anywhere on the Xnet website or terms and conditions (and - they state full speed on their website too), it is rate limited to 50Mbit down on VDSL connections. I just ended up switching my connection to Voyager and got full speed (after them blaming Chorus and then finally admitting it is "policy" to rate-limit all VDSL connections to 50Mbit).

 

Honestly, switch. I've already had a go at them last year for this attitude.
