Anyone actually getting anywhere near 900MB?

[djrobs33]

Had the EE 900MB full fibre for nearly a year and have been really disappointed. Doesn't seem much better or more reliable than my previous 70MB on broadband.

Depending how you test, I seem to be getting at best 450MB - which by coincidence is their min level but half the prescribed speed. Many times it does more like 270-350MB. Is there any other industry where you pay for a service and they can legally provide only half?

Also the signal of the WIFI is awful.

Hi yes I'm getting very good speeds. Average is around 900mbs via WiFi. These speeds can only be reached on my Google pixel 8 or my Asus Vivo laptop as they are WiFi 6 compatible. These speeds are via WiFi from a booster that is hardwired directly to the router. I've found after a few days it's settled down and now it averages over 900mbs via the Ookla app. I've not even tried a earth net connection as there is no need due to the insane speeds I'm constantly getting. But on other devices they max out at around 300 to 500mbs. A bit like the Xbox maxing out at around 250mbs. My fire cube 3rd gen hits 498mbs and that's max out for that. So some devices that are WiFi 6 compatible will give you these speeds. My laptop transmitter/ link speed was reading 2100mbs. The power in the WiFi is there. Just like I say certain products are not built for these speeds. So will never hit them. Others will. I always find hardwiring the boosters (if you can)  turns it into a mini router. I always get the max speeds pumping out from them. 

Hope this helps a bit.

@Djb19811 Most are beginning to understand but if you do get time, its always good to Know Router and Booster combo, you can never beat cable for consistency and through put, and anyone who does not ethernet there backhaul is sure going to find issue's no matter what. Welcome to the Forum 👍.

Hi I've just gone onto ee 900 and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to the best 3rd party router please

This is the same for me how can this be fixed 

[JimM11]

@GrantC What is the same for you? Now a 15month old post and 900Mb/s speed is easy to do for most devices.

[GrantC]

Right mate well I'm having issues with my Internet, post date is irrelevant just wanted to join in on the fun I felt left out

[JimM11]

@GrantC By all means do not feel left out, so what is your issue, if you don't explain or do not know what how can the Forum help you.

What is possible when the picture gets cleared to view.

Had full fibre about 6 mths. 900 speed been slowing down gradually then got a new router as a starter from Ee. Hasn't worked had tech guy out from them he said it was the router hot new 1 as I said it still not giving me anywhere near the speeds should be getting they said something is throttling the speeds so I'm stumped.

@GrantC Have a look at linked below will give you an idea what you need to post, no point in guessing as you do not say.
