ViewQwest Fiber Broadband Official Thread - Part 3

[NicBlais]

Spoke to a guy from vq,
for some reason my plan was upgrade from 500mbps to 600mbps.. instead of 1gbps..
he has helped to provision my line to 1gbps. but still unable to go past 800mbps download. will be waiting for him to arrange a on site engineer to troubleshoot on this

Seeing 800Mbps on a speedtest is actually quite normal for a 1Gbps line - remember that most of today's hardware wasn't designed with these kinds of speeds in mind (the global average for downloading speed is still hovering around 20Mbps i think).

We're just ahead of the curve

Edit: to clarify - this doesn't mean we're not provisioning you the full 1Gbps. It just means that it's harder to see on a single speedtest. The main benefit from 1Gbps comes when you have multiple users on different devices sharing the same line.

If you come down to our booth at SITEX you'll see that everything we have runs on our 1Gbps connection (except for the 2Gbps demo) - and there's going to be a lot of stuff connected!!

If the ahem is a functioning flux capacitor, no way am I selling it.

Wild Guess...

27" iMac 5K Retina? or a LG 4K UHD LED Display?

Ok. Now if either of these were true, it would be awesome.

Make that a yummy 60 or 65 inch LG 4K UHD LED Display.

So interesting. VQBN's speed test is the fastest regardless of browser.

Using speedtest.net speeds are significantly slower. The only way to get comparable results on speedtest.net is to use IE:

Like that what's the point of speedtest.net if the speeds fluctuate depending on the browser

 

[abstrax]

most of us got 400++ for UL speed.....any1 got 600++?

 

[grynove]

my vq speedtest is 600++. but tried to download the 1000mb.bin only arr 30Mb/s.not using download manager. just save as.anyone tried it with downloading that bin file also?

Your storage may be too slow?

any recommendation for pcie network card?

wow..server grade!! can work on windows 8.1?

Yep intel drivers generally well supported across all OSes.

was thinking to get this Intel PCI-e Gigabit desktop EXP19301CT from SLS...

just curious, how are we going to get 2gbps to our router?

LACP 2x GE ports together? or SFP+ or 10GBaseT?

Apart from enterprise class routers, what consumer grade choices do we have?

there are actually 2 ways to do it.
but for more details, i let andrew explain to u.
consumer grade will be the CCR 1009-8G-1S

 

[simic]

hmm. CCR 1009 has enough grunt to do NAT till 2Gbps?

wow. its looking quite future proof.

it only has GE ports available.

So must be some form of channel bonding then.

 

[grynove]

it is tested with SSD. able to hit the full speed.

thx

 

[kantlll]

I use wire connect to ONT speedtest about 920mb/s then through ac87u also wire only get 470mbps
Cable I checked .Anyone know the reason?

funding gonna come from somewhere right? Hence the "optional" comes into the picture and hence likely option to select it and have a higher monthly payment.

More details were revealed during the events held earlier, if not you can check out Fibernet forums for more details tomorrow or so.

Consumer grade routers do not support the 2Gbps trial.

Can also, just expensive lor compared to newegg or ebay where the CT cards are USD30~
