Best broadband speed ?

Post by shaz1967 »

Hello fellow members
I have MEO phone & broadband but the best download speed I can achieve is 2.13 Mbps when hard wired into the router & 1.7 Mbps on wireless connection, the upload speeds are 0.21 Mbps when hardwired through the router & 0.11 Mbps Wireless. I am in Monte Servo area & find it difficult to stream Uk TV with such poor Mbps speeds. I am wondering if there are any better broadband providers out there ?

Yep I agree Shaz must definitely be where you are located.
I had a similar problem with Pt, Meo on the land line. No cable here either!
Switched to Nos 18 months ago with a mobile, SIM card Router. Stuck it as high as possible and now get average of 15-25 Mgbs download.

Thanks for your replies. My property manager is going to contact Meo as he says I should get between 8 to 12 Mbps.
