BT's New (Nearly) GIGABIT Consumer Broadband! - Full Fibre 900

[@mubblemann]

Dude, I remember early 2000, my work mate was boasting to me that he got broadband enabling him to download an MP3 as quickly as it plays. That's 1mb per minute.

[@MrMoo272]

Ahhh the glorious days of waiting 12 minutes to download an mp3 at 56k. Its insane to think i can now download my entire music collection that I've been collecting since the days of 56k, in the same about of time it took to download 1 mp3 back then.

[@simondb99]

Awww man, hell yeah. Bringing back the memories of my utter delight at Nildram (God bless their souls, they were great) doubling my line speed from 1 to 2Mbps. And that click of the PCI ADSL modem. Aaaaah halcyon days. Now it's 900Mbps synchronous and I'm like "meh" :D

Great video Ryan, I ordered the upgrade yesterday.was on 300/50. Upgraded to 900 and also got a price reduction ( small but hayho ). Thank you for taking the time to upload.

[@kaimekaimietis]

right now the BT full fibre 900 costs 49.99 pounds

[@evilqueen1]

Chanced upon this video only now as I was researching Full Fibre and FWIW - entirely coherent and very helpful. I would have not have noticed anything awry had you not mentioned it (don't be so hard on yourself). Thanks for the info!

[@Xofttam]

I just had Plusnet installed a couple of weeks ago, 900mbps package. I upgraded the router from the provided one, horrible white colour and 560mbps when I was stood next to it. I went for the TP link ax95 and now get 960mbps so happy with that, certainly glad I purchased a new router.

[@oliverdickins9656]

After ordering mine and viewing your video as I waited. I knew my router wouldn't be able to push the Gigabit speeds. I was using VyOS on a Hyper-V VM beforehand and it would have only been capable of ~400Mb/s. I ordered a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X to replace it, since it's a fork from Vyatta and the command line is very similar. Speeds through that (with hardware acceleration enabled) I'm able to achieve a good 900 Mb/s with no extra configuration. With 5 networks, firewall rules, policy routing a single Wireguard interface along with a (small) OSPF instance - I can push around 850 Mb/s using BTWholeSale Speedtest. The additional issue here in the UK with BT, is we're forced to use PPPoE which is additional processing. Without that, I wonder what type of additional throughput I could get.

[@rebelScience]

On 1Gig symmetrical and just 8.70 Euros p/m but your speed is very good for the UK. I remember paying the same price for 20U/2D with a download cap...

[@tomhaigh_]

And then there is me barely scraping 40 mbs

[@crazedmerc7173]

bro im still at 10 mbs :(

[@pier.grossi]

How did you setup your tplink ? I suggest you to sniff in order to understand how the BT HUB makes the PPPoE(VLAN/credentials/CoS tag/DSCP)... or if it uses DHCP look for a particular option

[@burnsZY85]

Have mine ordered, i live in a small town in n.ireland, my current internet is 35 download and about 5 upload, now it should be 900 download and something like 100 upload with the upgrade, which even if it is only half that it is still amazingly fast.

[@zaedenuk]

I'm upgrading from 7 meg ish connection to 900 full fibre soon it's been a long time coming for my area of the uk.

[@LdaHashZero]

You could stick a 2nd Gigabit NIC into an old PC, install pfSense and see what speed you get.

[@shockwaves59]

Hands down get ubiquity, yes it's on the pricey side, but i installed my ubiquity network including the 2 poe switch usg, 2 WiFi ap's almost 3 years ago now and I haven't once had a problem. My current up time is 218 days since a crash/restart. My poe switches have 580 days and my usg has 580 days too - really I should update them as there all running old firmware, but its a case of if its not broken don't fix it for me and as for speeds, top notch

[@petecoventry6858]

4:05 you pay for upto.. You can only say that line if you pay for a leased line. I get 1Gbps both ways and I get the speed I pay for - but I pay £598 a MONTH! - That's the sort of money you need to spend to say what you pay for

[@qwertypoth]

We have BT fttp and use ubiquiti kit. I can certainly recommend it. At the moment we only pay for a 150/30 connection.

[@franksAVFC]

I have gone for this same package. Full Fibre 100? What speeds do you tend to get on average?

[@JetfireWithy]

There's is a 50mbps upload cap glitch on the Smart hub 2 which could be the reason for the fluctuations. Upload can affect download speed at times. Sort of like when you have a lot of people on the same time as you during peak hours of the day 6-10pm. Apparently BT are working on a fix for it. I'm not sure when it will be sorted though.

[@lewisdrew2561]

This happened to mine, I had to get a specialist fibre engineer from open reach to come out, he was here about an hour and called someone to changed the profile manually as it had been set up incorrectly and capped.

[@maldingarxenaj2883]

How did u achieved the speeds with bt ? Over Ethernet? Coz I’m in Liverpool an the speed Whar I’m geting is 450 down 110 up over Wifi

[@theryanthomas]

This is over Ethernet yes. WiFi is almost guaranteed to be significantly slower

[@maldingarxenaj2883]

[@theryanthomas]

Ahhh that's a pain. Yeah it's frustrating when you can't run cables but you need the speed. I imagine it's how they sell it you you. "fast speeds" when half the time you're not even able to take advantage of them

[@williamwilbur]

I found out that this package is actually gigabit, it's just they advertise it at 900 due to overheads

[@dannyliles2315]

Very envious, the fastest I can get in a less rural area is about 30 down 5 up. I live about 8 miles out of Manchester

[@alistairjohnson177]

thanks for the video Ryan - I did find it quite funny when you said 'decent' connection when in effect it's well over the 1/2 or more of the uk that can 'only' get a tenth of 900meg if they are lucky and you are in the backend of nowhere :-) I'm in Brentwood Essex and get 60meg max which is fine but you are still 'rare' so be very happy with your exceptional (not decent) connection !

[@Matthewdoesmc81]

I don't have Fibre 900 yet but i can get it in my area now so should be getting it soon! i have been using the BT Smart Hub 2 though for around 8 months now and its is alot more reliable than the previous smart hubs the only issue i found was the wifi discs they send you are a bit hit and miss. they seem to work fine for months then all of a sudden they loose connection then they wont connect back up so you gotta re pair them to the hub which is a bit of a pain but apart from that its been fine. just need to upgrade my powerlines to 1000mbps ones so i can then be ready for fibre 900 when we get it soon!

[@lfhenry]

Help or advice please. I have signed up and just had Full Fibre 900 installed in my home and I am severely disappointed with what I have so far. To be clear it is full fibre Halo 900 I went for with guaranteed minimum speed of 455mbps and max speeds up to 930mbps! The hub is located in the bottom front right room (think 4 rooms downstairs, 4 bedrooms upstairs in a house about 15 years old). Speed when in same room as hub (using speed tester in myBT app), to hub 430/96 (down/up), to device 58/27. Speeds in bedroom upstairs (upstairs front right), to hub 537/99, to device 30/27. Speed in back bedroom (upstairs back right - my covid work room atm), to the hub 628/96 to the device 12/11. The device is an iPad Air. Surely these speeds cannot be acceptable. For comparison purposes, on the same device using its 4G mobile connection (also a service provided by BT), in the upstairs back right bedroom, I get 79/38 on Fast.com. In conversation with BT customer help, they basically say they are fulfilling their obligation and it is not their problem. Aside from the fun I am having with BT (I am waiting for a manager to call me) what can I do to get a proper speeds throughout the house? With school going teenagers and having to work from home due to Covid, a functioning internet is now an essential requirement. FYI. I was sent a BT smart hub 2.

[@alistairjohnson177]

You are testing using an Ipad Air that would then be a wireless connection these speeds are only achievable when using a wired ethernet connection i.e Cat6 cable to the router, I would have thought BT support would have told you that from the get go. Fastest wireless will probably be a few hundred meg/bit on latest 802xx protocols. Functional internet for school? getting 100meg+ right now is more than ample anyway so irrelevant to you.

[@alistairjohnson177]

Further to this if you have a current 2019/20 IPAD they are capable of 866mps on wifi - but that's theoretical like the 'upto 80meg' FTTC offering has overheads - Latest BT smart hub is using 802.11ax but only on the 5gig/hz band which is hopeless for going through walls of houses rather like mobile 5g (higher the frequency the worse it is to penetrate objects like bricks etc) it is gigabit capable (1.5gigbit theoretical) i would expect you to get around 750ish being right next to the router and assuming no other connections affect speed throughput. But as I stated earlier if you want a full reliable con use Ethernet wire. Testing in bedrooms etc forget getting anywhere near 750mbits using 5g/hz wifi. Only suggestion I could give you would be get repeater wifi boosters but even then they have to receive via 5g/hz through same walls, might increase a bit but not much, better solution would be ethernet wire to the bedrooms from the smart hub to another wifi repeater/hub then connect to that, not the main BT smart hub.

[@hawx1212]

From London and recently got the same package as you. No issues with BT or third party routers. Easily Getting 950 down and 120 up

I used to be with BT but it was really slow. I was promised around 20Mb both ways but rarely got more than 2 either way. I recently switched to sky and now i get 60Mb each way, and it’s also far far more reliable. It’s also around half the price per month, at something like £25.

[@MrKarco]

Hi, I’m currently having the same issue with BT. We pay for up to 38mbps with a minimum guarantee of 15mbps but we actually only get 1-2mbps at peak times. Would you recommend switching to Sky? I thought they used the same openreach network anyways?

[@NotAllTheTime]

Does anyone know what spped the ethernet port in the ONT is and will a new one be needed when BT upgrade their package speeds?

[@NotAllTheTime]

It's only 1gb unfortunately and that means that they're going to create a huge amount of e-waste as soon as they offer a higher download speed. The reason for it being 950/110 is because that's the theoretical throughput of a 1gb port too.

[@portman8909]

That’s silly to me. Surely they’d use 10gbps?

[@JHJOwen]

I watched the video you showed on screen about not using you IP’s router. I’ve followed your advice and bought an expensive TP Link router (VDSL/ADSL). Although I’ve been having trouble with my TP-Link router having a reliable connection. Wi-fi range is great but internet drops in and out. Any help? I’ve got use to an open reach modern and a BT Smart Hub too if it’s best to piggy back off then and not plug the ADSL cable into my own router.

[@davidasheddan]

Just a note- EE don't have FTTP service (only G.Fast)

[@QuickBits]

What routers that can run Open WRT are best for BT fibre?

[@johnmcquay82]

Your connection is most likely provisioned as a gigabit service, but being marketed and sold as a 900megabit service to stop people complaining they're being short-changed. People in the past have always complained that they're paying for "up to" a certain speed and not getting it. With how ethernet works, if a customer is sold a gigabit service, they would (or at least most people would) expect to go onto speedtest.net to test their speed and expect 1000megabits. If you think about the OSI model, the physical copper/fibre is layer 1, the ethernet frames are on layer 2. At layer 2, the throughput at 1000megabits/sec will translate to about 940megabits of throughput at layer 3 at the most (depending on the data payload size); this is owing to the headers in the ethernet frames using some of the layer 2 throughput. The long and the short of it; providers are not marketing their services as gigabit as they would get no-end of flack for the above reason.

I will be getting 300Mbps this month with EE but it’s using the g fast technology which is not actual fttp compared to your one. It is pretty good though, that copper (within distance) can do 300Mbps and higher. Thanks for the video too. I’m looking forward to the fast speeds now. Like you mention though at least some more people are getting 900Mbps now. Hopefully within the near future it’ll be more common for even half a gigabit speeds to be the norm in the UK.

Maybe a bit delayed here... You will need to check the MTU size on your hub/router (you need to move away from that consumer gear. I use Ubiquiti with a controller and it is rock solid and get full speed). Are you bridging the BT hub and using the linksys unit, or is the Linksys unit connected via WAN to the GPON? The MTU size will affect you throughput through the linksys unit Anyway, ditch it all and go for the Ubiquiti UDM with some Unifi AC Nano APs. You will not regret the move.

I am on the full fibre 500 package from the 250 with a netgear ex8000 extender & bt ultrafast hub works really well 👍 also put your hub somewhere up high with nothing surrounding it so it’s on it’s own..

[@sabirkothiya9977]

You should consider getting ubiquiti dream machine. This will solve your problem.

[@richardsterne2875]

Try Zen internet.

are u using 5g wifi

Thank you for your video!!!

[@CoteaGeorgeC]

Are you doing some sort of PPPOE to connect to their network?

[@johnmcquay82]

In the UK, if you're connecting over openreach network; PPPoE is needed. Some AltNet ISPs use PPPoE, though most seem to use DHCP authentication.

[@Squigy-nm9tk]

500 has been removed now. 900 is still there

[@rizty210]

I have a Orbi Wifi6 with the 1gb/s plan from BT. Mine works fine when plugged into ethernet getting 960mb/s. Sounds like an issue with the router.

[@Clawzskunkie]

Rizty are you connecting the ORBI straight to the ONT on the wall or are you just connecting it via the Ethernet to the super hub?

Vodafone 900Mb down&up for £40 😍

[@retr0nus]

A blessing from CityFibre

[@k3rih]

@@retr0nus I ordered Vodafone Broadband(two weeks ago) but it's not from CityFibre 😭. They are [RE]selling BT/CityFibre. I will have on Thursday 900Mb down/ 110Mb Up. Be careful what you order.. Still better than I have now(VM) and cheaper;).

[@retr0nus]

@@k3rih However, if you are in a CityFibre area, you can get Vodafone Broadband,l. I am currently with Virgin Media since FTTP isnt coming to me any time soon and I'm on M350 at the moment and can upgrade to Gig1, full fibre however would be great since there wouldn't be a VM monopoly.

[@kanye_east_pog4790]

You: not happy with your fibre connections Me: can’t even get fibre connections in my area with 4mbp down 0.70 up… 😆…😭

[@benwiddop7128]

I was super upset moving into my new home because we had copper cable internet by called it fibre but it wasn’t full fibre with speed of 15mbps / 1.5 megabytes roughly (an average), this is the max in my area making me angry because I have a lot of devices in my home that require fast connection and I moved from Virgin 500mbps but I just found out by are installing gigabit in the area now by March and I cannot wait this I’m not ungrateful for my internet speed but it does hinder my work and casual usage and gaming it looks great being able to download fast

[@seanzappulla71]

We would love this here in Australia. The fastest is 94 34

[@VarissNI]

Fuck the NBN I guess aha, I have 150/30 in the uk, and that's the lowest fibre package you can get.

[@JackFellOver]

@@VarissNI you can actually purchase slower FTTP packages - BT's current stack is 36/7, 50/10, 74/20, 150/30, 300/50 and 910/110, but Openreach wholesale have others too.

[@VarissNI]

@@JackFellOver don't forget 500/73, this gem actually disappeared from BT's website but is available on the phone.

[@VarissNI]

@@JackFellOver although keep in mind, 36-72 packages are delivered through FTTC if the line can deliver that speed.

[@JackFellOver]

@@VarissNI The sub 100 speeds you mentioned can be ordered on FTTP too. I know because we had Full Fibre 2 (74/20) after our 30mbit FTTC and before Full Fibre 100. The two technologies are in separate sections of the BT website though. Hadn't seen the 500/73 package recently, didn't know it was still sold by BT.

[@nihalkumar4000]

I pay 6 pound for my 10mb down and 1mb up. 😔

Same

[@alexwood7799]

dont forget the router is a small computer and total speeds can be bottlenecked with an old router

[@karimzy90]

I'm using 15mb , now finally getting 900mb in 15th can't wait lol 😆

[@kelbee8974]

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing. Just ordered full fibre 900 from the 300/50 package, same as you. I already have the homehub 2 or what ever it's called. Hopefully I get some big improvements. I have noticed that my BT speeds are what they should be, but on WiFi the speeds are seriously degraded & I have 4 BT extender discs in the house !!!!! Regards the depression. Been there & done that. Hopefully you have a good support network around you. It can be beaten. Have liked & subscribed. I would be interested in an upgraded router as well once one has been fully evaluated & is working well. Best wishes & stay safe

[@tinabates542]

300m what a joke I only get 80m ring them up and all they do is lie to me

[@manickbarry]

I’m just waiting for toob in Southampton 900 down and up for £25 a month so excited about those speeds

[@JackFlicks]

You too bud!

[@xanpagebrown]

im with sky and they're so slow where i live. the most i can get is about 60/20

[@dannyliles2315]

Xan Page-Brown I’m with sky and I’m stuck with 30/5 max on a good day, and that’s the fastest I can get

[@mustafapx]

I live in iraq and the best i get is 1 Mbps which can go down to 50kbps and pay 50$/mo btw i live in the capital so yeah ... you should be thankful XD

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

60/20 isn't slow. I have 75/20 and it runs multiple 4k streams as my family watch a lot in the evening as well as me gaming or downloading large files and its fine.

[@caoimheharkin1637]

Just cancelled Sky. I was getting 1mbps upload and 0.13mbps download IF I was lucky
