Moving to new house - internet issues

Your local cab only supports adsl2 by the looks of it which isn't brilliant but if its towards the higher end of the figure it shouldn't limit you too much.
Gaming is more latency than through put so wouldn't worry with that, streaming 4K stuff, certainly multiple streams would be unlikely but boggo HD stuff should be fine.

Correction - download speed is actually around 36Mbps - seems fairly good to meGaming is more latency than through put so wouldn't worry with that, streaming 4K stuff, certainly multiple streams would be unlikely but boggo HD stuff should be fine.

That's fine if you are happy with a 4G set up, would get round the limited speeds of the local BT cab.
Strange as I just got home and on my VM Fibre, it is actually slightly slower - 35.83 rather than 36.09 on 4G.Tbh I don't care what type of connection it is as long as it's reliable and allows streaming. I'd like to set my Plex server back up again (internal use only).

Although Vodafone say I can get up to 63Mbps average download speed. The 4G mast is apparently very close by.
I checked the 4G coverage using Ofcom website:
I'm with Vodafone.I checked the 4G coverage using Ofcom website:
Website says 'up to 60.71 Mbps'
I just checked what I am actually getting and it is 10.6Mbps their Superfast 2 tarriff.
It does vary between 0.9Mbps and around 33Mbps. I should get a discount because it is slow however, I get it for free at the moment as their installation service was rubbish.

Funnily enough, I am here now and doing just that. I have my phone with Vodaphone 4G, tethered to my laptop.

What you have now won't be potentially what you have at other times in the day/night, or in the future. DOWNLOAD: 36.09Mbps
