Just for information.... What factors will affect the broadband speed I can receive?
Up to 8Mb Broadband uses new technology to automatically provide the fastest speed that your phone line can physically support, up to a maximum of 8Mb (Megabits per second). The actual broadband speed achievable over your phone line depends on its length, the length and quality of any phone wiring in your home, the specification of your modem or router, the speed of connection between your computer and modem or router (Ethernet and wireless are faster than USB), the speed of your computer, and whether all your broadband microfilters are correctly installed. If you live close to Aldridge exchange, you could get the maximum connection speed of 8Mb, reducing to 6Mb, 4Mb, 2Mb or less, the further away you are. Your broadband speed will also vary during the day depending on how busy BT’s network is, the speed of the Internet and of websites you are visiting, whether you’re sharing your connection with others in your home, and whether you have any spyware or hardware slowing down your computer. Typically your speed may reduce significantly during the daily peak period 6-9pm. Typically i have found that speeds of around 6.9 mb are possible in Aldridge and if you would like broadband help including free installation and set up why not give me a call on 01922 452338 or find out more about the cost savings by visiting the
