I'm thinking of changing to Go Fibre. Has anyone used this provider and if so have they any feedback to help my decision?

Hi Had it installed 2 days ago very professional team fitted no problems. However the speed 300 MB not yet.
Have 65 MB using the wireless router. I spoke with a tech on the phone who stated I need to connect using Ethernet cable which is really a pain.
I did try it and the speed went up to 280 MB.
This morning at 7am I tested the speed and it was down to 85 MB. So I will give it a few more days for the speed to settle and then give it a bit of Victor Meldrew.

No one really gives you the speeds they claim - is one of those numbers people feel the need to verify a good provider - it is in fact baloney ;-) You can offer 1000Mbs, but most won't even use 50Mbps.

I've seen people with 200Mbps throttled to 10 or less and even stability issues which have shown less than 2Mbps. The ISP can see your speed test when you do it and sends out a favourable data burst - so even the speed test results can be misleading. Or to put it another way - deliberately deceptive.

As it stands, most would currently never need more than 50Mbps - that's with 4 people in the house 2 watching TV, say IPTV + Netflix 4K + someone web browsing + a kid using a PlayStation online. So speeds of 200 or 300Mbps, unless you are a commercial company with an office full of people using the internet - is a load of nonsense ;-)

Your speeds on WiFi are always slower -so the further away from the router (or more walls in between) will cause speed to drop.

I would suggest at 85Mbps Mr. Meldrew :lol: you actually have nothing in your entire house that would use this - the heaviest possible offender currently can be Netflix 4K at 15-20Mbps stable at most. Normal IPTV/HD uses 10Mbps or usually less. Web browsing, next to nothing - only main difference if you download films - which due to streaming or IPTV - most don't do these days.

It is still cheeky of the ISPs to make these claims as no ones internet connections offer stability or speeds they are being promised. I know, as it's one of my jobs to check ;-)

I use go fibra. Speed test using the 5.0 channel on my iPad is 285mb. This is going through a dd-wrt router that has smart dns installed. I do have to use power line connectors to get a hardwire to my Mag box and that does take the speed down at the Mag box to around 80mb. But that’s plenty.

Internet companies, rarely offer the best TV options, as they are limited in terms of what they can offer as well as the specific audience of their country IE Spanish. Often you find these companies do offer UK terrestrials, but often lots missing and if you want any more content such as sports, films on demand or the general premium type content, usually better options elsewhere.

Often the ideal tactic, is to sort the best internet supplier, then hunt down the best TV company for the specific type of content you require. There's quite a degree of variation and services offered.

If you just want free to air TV, then a satellite dish will give you the UK terrestrials, with no ongoing subscription. Anything more than that 'premium content / sports' expect to pay a subscription for any type of stable service.

Certainly is, you shouldn't ever need more than 10Mbps using a MAG box.
