If you're using a Cat 6 Ethernet cable to test your speed and your device is capable of reaching these speeds, you can expect to achieve speeds of up to 900Mb with this package. Rest assured, even during peak times, we strive to maintain consistent speeds and provide a reliable connection. However, if your speed falls below 70% of your package speed over a wired connection for 3 consecutive days, we will investigate this as a fault.
The 900Mb package is perfect for people who work from home, online gamers, and households with multiple connected devices, ensuring a seamless and efficient online experience for all.
Wi-Fi speed depends on different things like how good your router is, how many devices are connected to it, and how far away you are from the router. Other things like walls and other electronic devices can also slow down your Wi-Fi. If you have a modern Wi-Fi 6 router and not much interference, you might get close to 900Mbps speed, but most people get slower speeds. To get the best speed, connect your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable for important stuff like gaming or big file transfers. Wi-Fi is good enough for most other things.
Interference can be a common issue with Wi-Fi signals, causing speed drops. It can be caused by other electronic devices, neighbouring Wi-Fi networks, or physical obstructions. In apartment buildings, interference may occur from large electrical machinery, such as the lift mechanism or the plant room.
The number of devices connected to your Wi-Fi network can impact your speeds as the available bandwidth is shared among them. This means that if there are many devices streaming or downloading data simultaneously, it can result in reduced speeds.
The performance of your router plays a crucial role in determining the Wi-Fi speeds you can achieve. Factors such as the antenna placement of your router can have a significant impact on the overall performance of your Wi-Fi connection.
To optimize your Wi-Fi performance and minimize interference, it's important to use the appropriate Wi-Fi channel and frequency. A simple solution is to turn off your router and then turn it back on, allowing it to scan its surroundings and automatically select the best Wi-Fi channel for you. If you prefer to manually select the frequency, you can refer to this page for instructions on how to split your SSID.
WiFi Channel Congestion: During peak usage times, your broadband line itself won't suffer from slower speeds, but the WiFi channel you use is still shared with other people on all networks. This can cause slower Wi-Fi speeds, especially in densely populated areas.
Under ideal conditions, with a properly configured router and minimal interference, it is possible to achieve Wi-Fi speeds that are relatively close to the 900Mbps broadband package. However, it is important to note that real-world scenarios often result in significantly lower Wi-Fi speeds. Speeds ranging from 200-500Mbps are generally considered excellent for residential setups, although this can vary depending on the unique challenges within the home and the broader environment.
