I hope Manitoba will be one. No word of pricing yet... But i hope that means gigabit will come down. I wonder if Telus will roll anything higher than 2.5Gbps out west? -
I'm wanting to know what the download speed of a 10 Mbps fibre line should be. This fibre line was installed 2 days ago so i doubt i'm being throttled. One would think a download speed close to 10 Mbps but my results on a speedtest.net (included screenshot) are far from that.

Hi All, Just a couple questions about my internet/ISP... I've been seeing that a lot of people get up to 1GB on fibre connections?? How come in Vancouver, Canada the fastest I can get is 150mbps down and 175mbps up? That is Telus' best internet which is supposed to be fibre... It's called Pure Fibre and they say its 100% fibre while other companies use a mix of fibre and traditional cabling... If theirs is 100% pure why is it so slow comapred to other peoples'? I mean, the best internet before fibre from them was 50d/50u so it's a big improvement at 3 times the speeds. But I was super stoked to get fibre here thinking it'd be like 10-20 times the speeds of what I had before. I know this is a first world complaint.. but just wondering why it's so bad here compared to other places? Any info is appreciated, thanks! ♥ Telus Pure Fibre Webpage: https://fibre.telus.com/vancouver/what-is-fibre/?INTCMP=Nav_Main_What_is_Telus_Fibre

Hey all, I'm having a slight issue with my internet at the moment, I have Vodafone (Vodacom/Verizon) Fibre Unlimited and over Wi-Fi I average about 35-40 MBPS (I'm in a rural area so that's plenty for me). But recently I've been having random issues with the connection speed and ping in games (The highest I seen was in CS:GO where it hit 800ms). Windows does not detect any issue with the Wi-Fi adapter or the connection itself. Running a speedtest is a nightmare, 99% of the time it won't connect to the website and the one time it did I had 0.2MBPS down and 1.2MBPS up...Pinging Google.ie reveals I have 0% Packet loss, but the "Approximate round trip" times were crazy high: "Minimum = 322ms, Maximum = 1938ms, Average = 826ms". If I'm not mistaken that time should be around 100-150ms? The router I am using is a Vodafone (Huawei) HG658c, running on firmware version V100R001C172B230. My PC is a custom system running an i5 2500, 16GB of DDR3, a 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, an Antec VP700P (700W) PSU and Windows 10 Pro 64 bit version 1607.My Wi-Fi adapter is made by Ranlink but I don't know the actual model number of it. If anyone can help that would be amazing! Thanks in advance. Dylan.

Hi. So I want to improve my internet speeds from what they are and I've been looking at routers. I was going to buy the "ASUS RT-AC3200" but it went up in price so I decided to look around a bit more. I've been reading up and I've managed to narrow my choice down to two options. The ASUS RT-AC3200 or the NETGEAR D7000. The ASUS one will need a modem which I've also got planned if I chose to go with it, which is the NETGEAR DM200. What I mainly need from the router is good wired speeds, great security, a good UI that I can see connected devices on easily, easy setup as my ISP has awful customer service and I don't want to have to phone them when setting it up, and good value. There are only two people who use this network regularly and one is a lite user who only uses it to stream Netflix and do general browsing and I will be using it to host multiplayer games, download games, watch movies etc (some 4K), and general browsing as well. I also have question about the ASUS router: will the VPN be able to set my location as America so that I can access American Netflix? I've tried to find out as much as I can online about these routers, but most of it is marketing material which mainly focuses on the positive sides. If you can help decide which is the better option or know of a better option it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this forum. I recently acquired a bunch of dell poweredge r710's from my university equipped with Qlogic QLE2462 fibre cards. I would like to make a storage server using one of the r710's and have a p2p link running to my desktop, which is running windows 10. Currently I have windows 10 installed on the server and have successfully loaded the drivers so windows can detect the cards. I can use the QConvergeConsole as well as the QCC GUI to view the cards. However, I cannot figure out how to get the cards to see each other, the link status is online for the ports that are connected, but when I scan for devices, nothing is found. I cannot find any way to configure the cards in the command line so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am completely new to fibre as this is my first attempt working with it. I'm also open to any suggestions on an OS to run on the servers, I have access to just about any software through my university. Thanks in advance for any help I receive! -rh113113

Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to 'split' an incoming internet/fibre connection into four seperate SSIDs? Basically I'm building four new houses, three of which will be rented out (I'll live in the fourth one). Would it be feasible to have one fibre connection come in to my server room in my house then split up to the other houses w/ seperate SSIDs, passwords and such (also traffic monitoring/bandwidth ? Planning to wire up the homes with cat5e. Looking into ubiquiti products to manage all of this, including security cameras. Im thinking it would be a disaster to have four different incoming connections vs having only one fibre connection coming in and then splitting it up. Thanks.

So I have a few questions of trying to understand Fiber connector types and a few other things on Fiber networks. First thing is can any connector be on any end of Fiber patch cable. For example, does it have to be LC to LC or can it be anything like LC to SC, or can it only work some ways like, for example, I know LC to FC exists but does FC to SC for instance? Sorry for the bad explaining. Next, do you have to have the block connector things, not sure what there called but the things that hold each fibre cable side by side on when you plug it into an SFP transceiver, on to plug it into an SFP transceiver? Can someone explain simply what is the difference between simple and multimode? I've watched a few videos but can't understand. I understand that ISP's use "Simple mode" when running Fiber, but that has nothing to do with simplex or duplex does it? Because they need to offer you download and upload which is duplex, right? Last, so a Fiber switch is known as an FC Switch (Fiber Channel Switch), can this Switch accept any Fibre connector assuming you get a SFP/SFP+ (not sure what one) transceiver on the end of the Fiber cable connector? Thanks. If my questions aren't detailed enough please do ask me what i mean I'll try to explain in more detail and maybe with pictures...

I've recently moved to Japan and just setup an internet contract. Currently I'm getting fiber from the wall and it goes into a GEPON ONU that NTT (line supplier) gave me. For reference it looks like this one: https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCMDV2D2ojJT0NhZm0mSGiUCYF9X_iN_GxfD91DVSnN7TvxA8 From what I understand this acts as a modem. From there I just use the Ethernet out to connect my PC. I've never had fiber before so I'm a little confused, right now to connect I have to use Windows 10's dial-up interface for a PPoE connection. Is there no way for it to work like ADSL ones where you just plug in the Ethernet cable and it works(after you configure it once)? Since my laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port I've bought some janky USB to Ethernet adapter, is that the cause? Since I want to connect more than a single Ethernet port allows me, I'm in the market for a wireless router, would the setup be equivalent to an ADSL line? Finally, do you guys have recommendations for routers? I was looking at the following: Netgear Nighthawk R7000 ~100$ ASUS RT-AC68U ~150$ TP-Link Archer C7 ~100$ All seem somewhat popular, would I go wrong with any of these? Thank you in advance.

Hello again, I need inputs and help to plan this. We have a recently built a storage unit on our property that we want internet in. Its located too far away for copper cables to be an option, so I guess fibre is the only option. (Left side = house. Right side = storage unit) Requirements: * 500m length * 1-2 access points for "lite use" (google-ing manuals etc.) * 3-6 cameras for surveillance - stream have to be returned (to house), as the NVR wont be located in the storage unit. * 10GbE capable fibre cable (future proofing), the current hardware wont need to support this speed tho. * Possibility to continue the run to the houses around (right side) if desired. The use of the internet in this building is questionable, as apparently its gonna be used for... nothing? Non the less, I'm asked to make it happen. Gonna slap some cameras on the walls around/inside, as it houses values like farm equipment, cars and tools. The building will get a smal rack, fibre patch, ethernet patch and a 8-port PoE switch. That is alteas how far I have planed. I've done some research: a media converter, 110mm-ish tubing (to shield the fibre), OM5 multimode fibre (capped at 400m?) Should i blow the fibre instead? Does single-mode fibre equal unlimited bandwidth, and solves any capacity problem? What is the correct way to do this, as a solution offered to a professional client? What is the cheap way to do it, the DIY option? The price range of this project is kinda' wide open, as its no cheap way to pull this off without digging. When the trench is dugg up, we will also slap down a beefy power cable as the building also lacks electricity. ~~ Links ~~ LLT forum tread: short range high speed point to point Random media converter that popped up on google-search

Hi, I'm trying to wire up my computer to my external Storage PC (which is shared with other computers as well), but at the moment I only have Gigabit Ethernet to transfer files, and it's become just too slow for my needs. I also have a few fibre cables lying around at home, and I was wondering, if there are any PCIe 3.0 SFP/Fibre cards that are compatible with Windows 10, not just with Windows server, since it's be a relatively cheap upgrade, compared to 10GB SFP+ (cards are much more expensive). I had a previous machine with Windows server, that ran 4GB Qlogic cards, but those don't run on Win 10, at least in my experience, so does anyone know a card that would be compatible? Doesn't matter if it's a fibre card, or SFP. I'm just looking for something that could give me 4-8GB/s. Thanks in advance ?

Hey guys after about 3 months of terrible internet i have decided to reach out to people for help with it (sorry for terrible writing i have learning problem Dyslectic) So for a while now i have been tying to fix my internet ive called the provider and tried to get a problem fix from there end but they have done everything they have to fix it and cannot do anymore( resets and such) i have gone through my computer and update all drivers have reset the connection wiped certain things and tried to find if there was any problems with folders or games that have caused this so far i cannot see anything we use the base Vodafone modem with ultra fiber as our internet speed doing an internet test i get 30 mbps on download and around 12 to 15 on upload this is over a wireless connection as i cannot connect the computer with a cable this connection is being very faulty when it comes to games and youtube etc i find i can get connected for a little amount of time there is only one other person i my house which uses internet heavy mainly youtube and facebook is there anything i can do to help this thank you for any and all recommendations

I have AT&T fibre internet (gigabit) and the only way to get internet into the home off of their fibre line is to pass it through their provided router (there is no cable modem because of the nature of fibre). And in creating the second network I simply ran a CAT6 cable from one of the AT&T LAN ports to the WAN port on my Asus RT-AC5300 router in a second story room. However in doing so I ran into the issue that the AT&T router will not give more than 100 mbps to the second router even if I passed it through a switch first. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Also on a different note, I am trying to switch my main PC/server over to 10GB so are there any recommendations for some affordable sub $200 network switches and RJ45 NICs?

So after a month of waiting I finally got my Fibre connected in my new home! I've moved out of my flat where the wi-fi and connection was perfect (with an outage now and again). The wi-fi router provided by virgin media worked really well and would easily achieve the 200mbps advertised and I actually received 220mbps over the wi-fi connection. This coverage was enjoyed throughout the entire flat. Moving forward into my new home where the fibre point is in the living room, when testing the speeds, again I get the 220mbps download speed. I can also get the speed to be at least 150mbps+ downstairs over wi-fi. Now upstairs my devices and peripherals connect fine (not the greatest signal strength) and actually don't have access to the internet for some reason which I find odd. So in the mean time I've purchased some power line adapters and plugged it directly into the wall sockets at both ends, and my office being the other end I'm getting about 40mbps download speed, which is okay however I'm obviously not getting what I spend on the 200mbps where I needed it most. I have a theory why this might be the case, we installed wood flooring into our upstairs floors and as part of this we got some very good insulation where the surface layer is like a very thin foil material. I have a feeling that either the flooring is too thick, or that insulating underlay is interfering with the signal. I'm just wondering if you guys have any possible ideas around this problem or how I can easily get the wi-fi signal upstairs. I have a dual band router (TP-link AC1200 Dual Band N-Router) however I can't for the life of me seem to be able to set it up as a repeater, I've looked for instructions however the interface seems older than the information I've researched and the options just simply don't exist. Please help!!!

Hello, We are fixing the 2. floor at home and will by the end of the year be in need of a more professional way to organize our growing network. Im working as an electrician, so I have the physicall pulling of cables under controll. What I need help with is picking out the rack and the components inside, and probably the AP’s. I have worked on 180cm high racks named “Toten” and like their esthetics, but are thinking like 15-30U. I have also fallen in love with the idea of powering networking over UPS with the benefit of no downtime during poweroutages, which happens alot during winter. Fibre is soon to come to my area so I want to prepare for it. Network size will be under 24 cat 6 and under 12 coax. What to pick out?

Hi all, would first like to preface this by saying I know only a small amount about how adsl/vdsl works and thats half of why I'm here for help. Basically, recently upgraded to a 70mbps connection (VDSL) from ADSL, and didnt think to check that I had RJ45 (or RJ11) ports before doing so, and am sitting with the old phonejack ports (BT iirc) Would it impact my internets performance if I used a BT to RJ11/45 adapter, or would I need to go all the way and get someone in to replace the faceplates (Im not sure if the wiring for a phonejack can be used with VDSL although my adsl ran through one with a splitter) Thanks for any help

Question, could it be possible to get a full fibre home network? So fibre comes in your house and from there a modem with only fibre ports for output. So all your ethernet cables can be switched to fibre. This way you can get full fibre speed without bottlenecking. Well if you use a fibre expension card for your pc, which already exist but i can't find a fibre to fibre modem though. Do you guys think this will come to market soon?

I was wondering what is going to get me a petter ping: fibre with 25.000 kbit/s upload or copper with 50.000 kbit/s.

Greetings from italy! So, I've been lurking for the past two days about replicating Linus personal rig setup at my home, but I've hit quite an obstacle. I've got my computer in my room, 4790K@4.6GHz, 16GB RAM and 2x980Ti Strix (well, only one used ATM, since I almost hit OCP on my CS750M with both GPUs under furmark. A RM1000i it's on its way. And maybe a Thunderbolt equipped MB if this thing exists), and a LG 43UF776V in the living room, which is capable of 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 over HDMI 2.0 but has a terrific 55ms input lag (not good for gaming, but it works. Kinda. At least the picture quality in-game is astonishing). The two rooms are 7-8 meter apart from each, center to center. So I searched for Thunderbolt extenders (over optic fiber would be ideal, since i could insert that between electrical wires without fear for interferences, even if it's not the best thing in the world..), but the only thing I found was the corning cable used by Linus which would work, but it's quite impossible to insert that (actually the cable would fit, the connector... no way) in the existing FREAKING SMALL ducts used in my house. Just for reference, I ran cat6 cables in an existing duct between the living room and my room, and midway through the run, two cat6 and an antenna wire SEIZED UP for good. Tried everything, eventualy I ended up tearing them (actually that was my dad's brute force..). The only thing i could do was.. This. And then re-run the three cables with a $h!tton of lubricant. Eventually it worked wonderfully this time, and while I was in there.. Oh yeah, no more cables around the wall! Just 5 patch cords under the router: Back to the topic: Given my situation are there any Thunderbolt extenders, or even Display Port/HDMI extenders (then I would also need a USB extender..) that use a cable which is possible to insert in small ducts (e.g. optic fiber)? Or I may as well build another rig to play at 1080p in my room (given the cost of some Display Port/HDMI extender over fiber optic..!) and move my main build to the living room?

Hello, i will get ethernet cable to my house and with it i want to get fibre optics one too so ISP's wouldnt have to work so hard to cable manage it and stuff so please tell me which one is best?

I don't think this article has been posted yet on the forum so I'd like to share it in case you haven't seen it: http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2016/03/engineers-smashed-the-record-for-fibre-optic-data-transmission-with-new-kind-of-laser/ I think this is amazing and it's yet another step forward in the right direction. Although we won't be seeing these speeds in our homes anytime soon (maybe wait until 2035), this kind of data transmission will most likely be diversified and updated to work along-side, or even on top of current existing fibre transmission methods. Anyway, that's just my two cents, read the article for more information. I'd love to hear your thought on this and any general discussions about the topic in general. Thanks -
I live in malaysia Johor but when I check my IP address location, it is in Kuala Lumpur which is like 200 KM away from me. I am using Fibre internet and even speedtest.net shows that I am in Kuala Lumpur. I also have really high ping in CSGO and battlefield 4. I usually have low ping. Is it something wrong with the internet service provider or is there something wrong with my hardware?

Hi everyone, I've spent days 'studying' and learning whatever I can about networking and possible causes for bottleneck and I just thought maybe I could get opinions from you guys. The current build: Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 Motherboard Windows 7 SP1 (I just prefer it that way) 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM 1600Mhz Sapphire R9 270X Dual X GPU 960GB Sandisk Ultra II SSD 1TB WD Green HDD VS650 Corsair PSU ASUS RT-AC88U Router The situation: I have just signed up for a 2Gbps Fibre Optic Broadband service. I am looking at direct connection from PC to Router via Cat 7 Ethernet Cable I would like to get the most out of the awesomely reviewed Broadband service without hitting a bottleneck (due to software/hardware). The help I need: With the facts I have presented, I would like to know what kind of issues I might face. Which of my hardware will cause a bottleneck in my internet connection. Thanks a whole bunch fellas!

Hello, So I had fiber/fibre installed today. I'm supposed to be getting 50 up/down. I get 50/50 on everything whether it's ethernet or wifi, except for this desktop. I have tried going into the network adapter and changing settings but nothing is changing. I've also tested both ethernet ports on the motherboard. Not sure what I'm missing. I only get 2-4 upload on this desktop which is hardwired into my router. I've tested other computers via wifi as well as hardwire and they get 50/50. So it's something with this desktops network settings/adapter/motherboard. My hardware that is potentially the problem is listed below: All drivers are up to date. Motherboard: ASRock Extreme6 CPU: i7-4790k Ethernet Port 1: Realtek PCIe GBE Controller Ethernet Port 2: Intel® Ethernet Connection l218-V Thanks for the help! (to anyone who actually reads this and helps) lol
