True Internet what should you be getting?

[xanax]

Had true installed today and I got them to test the speed before they left, it was well over the 12 mbps they advertise. Now it's under 4 and testing the old one airnet which has a few days left that should be 10 and as usual it's over 8. Does true go up and down this much. They did come out with the you don't get 12 on wi fi no problem. I should have known better but the mrs wanted it for the mobile bit that you get.

On Wifi it will be rubbish, you will get 12 when you plug it in.

people slag off airnet but that's always been good on wi fi, don't see why there should be a difference between the two by that much. I'll try plugging it in, but that defeats the point of having wi fi.

Are you suggesting that his 12 MB adsl service will be slower (rubbish) if he uses wifi when compared to the lan connection?

lol.

If you click the network icon bottom RH corner on tab - on any computer - with any package in Thailand - you'll find you're connected at 100mbps.

Whether you pay 299 or 2000 - you get the same connection. Close to comedy - as usual

wish I had read some of this first

we had it until 18 months ago at another place and it seemed Ok then, now we are stuck with it for a year, but at least it's free for the first 3 months. There are people on facebook saying they pay for 30mbps and get 1-3 so maybe I'm lucky!

Im not suggesting anything. I am telling him that is what it is. I have 50mg in the office and complained like fkuc bout the speed, to be told exactly this.

Plug it in, you have your 12.

We've had exactly the same in my apartment building, and there are even signs in the lift telling people to plug in a lan connection because the adsl service is often so weak that you cannot get a connection.

We upgraded the office to 50MB and get anything between 36 and 48. I frankly wasn't expecting to get 50 MB, just something better than the previous connection, which is what we have achieved.

Don't blame you - tad underweight

[pseudolus]

To illustrate the point



Just did this this morning. 78mb on lan and 16 on Wifi. I only pay for 50mb on dedicated line, so I am actually getting good value I guess. I did have the true bloke fiddling with the cables, the box thing along the road, and all sorts until he clocked that I did not have the lan plugged in.

Download speed pinging USA, UK is around 40 (upload shite), and to asia (sing, HK) 50-60mb.

Question for the tech bods - would changing the router make a difference for WIfi?

[xanax]

interesting thanks for that

[Necron99]

I'd always thought it was 54 MBp/s, never checked as I torrent rather than download so it's never been an issue.
Turns out it's megabits, not bytes.

to answer your question, yes. The standard of the router and your laptop can up the speed.

802.11b offered up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps)
802.11a and 802.11g offer up to 54 Mbps
802.11n offers up to 300 Mbps
802.11ac offers up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps)

[Dillinger]

what model is the router?

my guess is your router cant handle those speeds

[pseudolus]

Cisco Model DPC3925

Cisco DPC/EPC3925 - Cisco Systems

[Dillinger]

judging by the reviews, its a piece of shit

My worst tech buy ever, on a personal AND professional level. Greed and points did me in. Stay away. Throughput sucks, very, very....very mediocre device. I don't know where to start, range? Throughput? If like me, you like to mess with firmware, configuribility (is ther such a word( Stick with your motorola and get a seperate router. Am just waiting for mine to burn out before going to my old set up......haiz....go google 'cisco dpc 3925' read the reviews, I should have listened...

anyone know how to switch from wi fi to lan on win 7? I thought if I switched off wi fi and connected the cable up that would be it but no connection over lan. Google seems to turn up stuff which does not work and others wanting the answer.

[pseudolus]

Plug it in, and then disconnect from the wifi signal by left clicking on the internet stregnth icon on the bottom right, and clicking disconnect.

Up to 80mb on the speedtest now.

[xanax]

yeah I did that but no good. They rang up today and asked if it was ok, said it was slow and they said try it now- 17mbps wow great. Not long after they had phoned it was down to 3 again but they could tick the satisfied customer when rang box!

[Dillinger]

^i can imagine them sending a booster down your line, until you put the phone down

[harrybarracuda]

That's some shit Wifi you've got there pseudolus.

[pseudolus]

Doesn't bother me in the office, as I am always plugged in. Would love to turn the wifi off if I could. Anyone know how to stop these boxes pumping out Wifi?

There will be a switch in the router settings, or pull the antenna, or simply tell your devices to ignore that wifi broadcast......

[pseudolus]

wifi broadcast

but to turn the broad cast off? Find the switch? OK will have a look much to the annoyance of my staff lol
