Woke up at 6am to find no internet at all - considering SSE have booked an engineer between 8 - 1 today.

I just swapped over kit from BT to SSE and 2 mins later up and running. So far so good (although no engineer).

Tested connection using various test sites via WiFi 5G

SPEEDTEST : 75Mbps / 18Mbps
FAST : 73Mbps
ThinkBB :75.4Mbps / 18.2Mbps
TestMy : 75.3Mps / 17.5Mbps

I'm testing from IPSWICH - i have test on and off for the last 3 hours and seems constant so far but i will wait and see.

Sounds promising! :)

Hows the wifi range of the router?

I live in an old victorian property and the internal walls are sold brick - but the WiFi reaches in my back garden 50 meters away - so far so good

Tested connection using various test sites via WiFi 5G

SPEEDTEST : 75Mbps / 18Mbps
FAST : 73Mbps

Agreed. I think around 8pm might be the crunch time though. r1kkster, have you got access to any streaming services like Netflix, iplayer etc to test mid evening?. I think another forum member (deanos) had some dire results in the evening with streaming.

cheers
