Finally! I now have internet that could be considered ‘high speed’. Guernsey’s Broadband Pro 20Mbps product is the fastest speed that they offer to normal consumers. Priced at a rather hefty \u00a349.99 per month, it offers both faster download and upload speeds, as well as a lower 20\/1 contention ratio.<\/p>\n

So, how is it? Well, my router is now synced up to the full 20 down\/ 1 up, but that actual test speeds are less than I would expect. It is still very fast compared to the old 8 Mbps service, but not that close to the advertised speed. In fact, the download speed is only 75% of the 20Mbps (on average).<\/p>\n

I was expecting, with the lower contention ratio, that the actual speed would be a lot closer to the advertised speed, especially if the router is synced up at the full speed. Why do Cable & Wireless still screw customers over, even if they are paying \u00a350 a month for a service which costs much less than this in the UK.<\/p>\n

Oh well, it’s an improvement none the less. Might have to move to those homes where Wave Telecom are offering 1 Gbps!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
