Re: Fibre speeds, Langford BC
A heads up on PureFibre network upgrades. Many people don't realize that the upgraded speed only goes as far as the entrance of the internet to your house. Most people then distribute the internet through their house either on the coaxial cable (e.g. putting your wifi modem somewhere else in the house, connected to the TV cable outlet), and through a wifi modem. Either of these will reduce your speed back down to 1GB. I recently "upgraded" to 3GB, only to have the installer tell me that I'm still on 1GB because the wifi can't handle 3GB. Unless you have LAN wires networked throughout your house and physically plug your devices into those, you're unlikely to benefit from anything higher than 1GB coming to your house.1.6KViews1like4Comments
