To be fair that's more than most people get download.

But I agree.

Looked for alternatives, Best I can get is upto 3mb on the aluminium cable BT ran to my house 30 years ago.

Yet they say for that I have to buy a Fibre service that they cannot supply. It is about time BT and the telcos did something for not spots instead of trying to protect past expenditure. If they cannot supply a fast internet connection on the current infrastructure. Provide a fibre to the premises solution. Good Internet connectivity should be a universal offering.

1.2gig an hour is more than enough unless your hosting and if you are then you would be better to get a hosting package from a provider.

think of it this way, if you dropped your broadband to say 50mb with the money you save you could get hosting and run "cloud".

1.2gb / hr...haha....no....as a domestic user I agree with the notion of not needing higher uploads but it should still be available for purchase!

It should be as cheap to pay for decent internet with good upload speeds to be able to run your own "cloud" services as it is to pay for decent cloud service subscriptions (azure/Amazon/Google) over a cheap connection...

In the states Google offer 1gig up and down in some places...10% of that in both directions would be good here

I have the same "business" broadband as Tim, and unless you pay a lot more a month for business DIA 300mb/1gb both directions you are stuck with rubbish upload speeds....there should be offerings with better upload (say 100mb min) but without being medium business 6hr SLA expensive stuff

I am a senior project manager for a global enterprise who works from home. For my personal hosting I do take a dedicated server package from OVH.

I work with large files, and use cloud storage. The VM 20Mb upload means waiting minutes to store files. If I was permitted to use local storage it would be seconds. Being home based my employers need to know I have adequate IT security in place and cloud storage is mandated for all. Even office based have lost their local file servers, but have nice thick pipes connecting them to their storage.

The package I am on is not vanity. VM is the only provision I can use until FTTP becomes a reality. There are serious defects as well as poor uploads (I now this is a result of network design to support tv)
No ip subnet available. just a single sticky address. I could easily make available a /24 from the companies many IPv4 allocations of class A/B networks. But VM will not take any route advertising
No IPv6
No SLA on fixes. I recently had to spend 3 days using 4G tethering as the local box had an electrical fault.

I got a new phone for Xmas that's 4g enabled. A new SIM card and contact now in place. Just did a speedtest and I'm getting 51mb download. It's faster than my landline. I can see why some people are starting to ditch home broadband. And 5g is on the way!

Probably be fast until too many people start using it more of the time - then the old bandwidth problem will happen.

This is like the shipping forecast. The words are in English but I've no idea what they mean.
