Can we talk internet speeds? (Fibre rollouts / upgrades ETA)
Discussion
We've had the keys to our new (to us) house since 1st Nov. I knew Internet speeds were going to be dire, but moving from fibre back to ADSL is painful.
I've gone from 36+ mb/s download to an average of 3.7 mb/s up and 0.7 mb/s down. Sky, who we're with, promise a minimum of 2.5 mb/s which is pretty pathetic. It appears that our local cabinet is 'fibre capable' since 2015 but in general speeds are atrocious. I'm supposedly about 1500m as the crow flies from the cabinet. I cannot for the life of me find anywhere to either complain (local councilor?) or to submit a request and find out when we might be getting an upgrade to our service.
To put it in context, I am semi-rural. But I am about 6 miles from the center of Aberdeen, the third largest city in Scotland. Yet I'm receiving broadband speeds that I would have been disappointed with half a decade ago.
