Travelshots Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I need a simple internet service that has high upload speeds. Currently I use talk talk which manages about 800Mbs upload speed . It is cheap and reliable but do others have higher speeds ...without going to fibre ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cheap and reliable but do others have higher speeds ...without going to fibre ? Surely you mean 800kbs? The fastest DOWLOAD speed I know of is 152Mbs on Virgin fibre. I suspect you won't get much better without going to fibre or 4G - a software developer colleagues gets 16-20Mbs on his phone and similar on the 4G wifi hub on his boat, his home. That is on a substantial EE data contract. I get arroun 8Mbs on my EE 4G phone and 12-15Mbs on my Virigin, BT fibre in my area is about the same. Just for reference Virigin quote upload speeds of around 10% of max download speed - I suspect that will be about the norm/best? for non-fibre.

IanGibson Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I get around 10Mbs upload from BT Infinity in London. I used to get around 1Mbs before I got fibre from various companies. I guess that is around normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelshots Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Martin yes I mean 800kbs.. there are some non fibre companies that offer a faster upload speed I think ... does anybody know them ? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 BT Infinity about 15-16MBd up and 60 down here. So uploads are a whiz when I get to do any. ISTR five years ago they took 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 12Mbs upload and that is rather nice..... extremely fast. Before that I was on 4Mbs upload and that was fairly good as well! I rarely have any problems with VM internet so if it is an option, it's worth considering. They have good deals on the 30-60Mbs service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
