What’s your current internet speed?

I am with Sky which is the fastest we can get here. Up the road "Blackmore road it is over 150 at a cost . Giga (something) Yes double we have here , but hey its rural here

Rural myself. Nearby towns have Virgin (not interested in them though), but according to Openreach FTTP will be available 'soon' (12 - 18 months of you ask me). I'll stay, as I am for now but once a 150mbps FTTP package is available I'll be looking at that. Stability and a bit more speed - both winners in my book!

Virgin again i think has Bailldon and Harlow but not other parts of Essex outside London Virgin by not moving out large cities in Essex was a mistake a big one

My current internet speed is 75 Mbps. I'm very pleased with it, as it's more than enough for my everyday needs. It's great for streaming movies and TV shows, downloading large files quickly, and playing online games without any lag or buffering. I also use it to upload photos and videos to social media platforms, which is nice because I don't have to wait a long time for them to upload. Overall, I'm very happy with this internet speed and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable connection.

Reads like an advert Joe (maybe it is 🤔)....the only omission was the name of provider making you so happy 😐

that might be seen as a bit spammy, however we don't know which country he is in so it's all a bit meaningless really.

Yeah, as it stands the message is that high speed is good 🙂

(Maybe I should want more than the under 10 I'm getting 🤔.......nah)

using quality cable instead of wi fi is better and safer too

Cryptic, can you explain ?
Internet speed as delivered by your provider has little to do with quality cables

actually you get a better connection with a cable (ethernet ) than wi fi no commercial company uses wi fi quality cable is a lot better any wall could could slow down the connection via wi fi in particular brick walls and any wall with steel inside so much better idea to use cable

Depends on the equipment/service you have. If you have a strong wifi setup you can get higher bandwidth than ethernet through devices which sometimes (e.g. many TVs or CCA) have 100Mb wired capability. You could argue that a TV does not necessarily need a gigabit ethernet port. My CCAs both connect to my mesh network with a minimum of 200Mb 5Ghz link and really stable. Not that either will make use of that speed to play, though.

..and I don't need the additional cost/hassle of dragging cable around the place.

Cables are a pain and wifi is great, but I always like the robustness of a cabled connection. TV manufacturers need to stop cheaping out with 100Mb ethernet ports and get gigabit installed. Anyone using Bravia Core where Sony recommends a 120Mb connection will tell you that! One way to get round it is with a usb adaptor.
