Hello all and Happy Easter! First Easter ever with no choccy eggs as we’ve been good citizens and avoided buying all but essentials! (All were sold out anyway where we are)
Now, we have BT broadband fibre 100 and are guaranteed a speed of 100Mb (else we get a £20 payment). We’re having a few drop outs so I was just playing around and ran a few different speed checkers that all came out around 80Mb. Now that’s just using my iPad and WiFi so I wouldn’t expect 100Mb. However using the speed checker on the BT app it gives 102Mb using the same iPad etc. When we had the broadband installed the open reach chap ran a test and showed me 160Mb but the most ive seen is 125 when plugged into the hub. So is there a possible technical reason or is there some fudge factor BT are applying to show these higher speeds?
