Can someone more knowledgeable than me explain how broadband works?
I have a broadband package with advertised download speeds of 11-36 mbps.
I have done a few broadband speed tests online and I sit at about 27mbps (with and without ethernet cable into device). So about 10 mbps under the ‘gating’ of my current package.
Does this mean that even if I purchase a bigger package it would be futile as my home is not capable of receiving those speeds?
Is that how this works?
(Obviously if I phone my provider the answer will be yes yes, let us sell you more, give us your money, take a bigger package, just buy it, it will solve all your problems etc)
Thinking about the gigabit broadband when it arrives later this year
