Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

my bad, I miss interpreted that. I read it as everyone was only getting 40% speed on average and max 60%. If that is area utilisation then there is plenty of juice to go around. As an fyi there is absolutely nothing wrong with speedtest.net and it has been the gold standard for over 10 years. VM can't diss it because speedtest.net isn't some dodgy 3rd party test site which is unreliable, they point you to VM's own speed test server on VM's network. There is one thing having a dodgy result if you leave VM's network and go to another 3rd party server. A bad result could be due to any number of things beyond VM's control but when you can't get full speed across VMs network to a server on their network then something is wrong. It is good logic and and good troubleshooting and for VM to speak badly of it is poor. Regardless of which tier I have been on over the years I have always been able to get full speed off speedtest.net and the only times I haven't is when there has been a problem (which is the entire point of it). My Android phones and tablets have always achieved full speed as well.

I'm going to let it go for now because it's really starting to get my going and the Drs say that's not good for you.

If i leave it a week or 2 keep a note of when the network goes slow.

The Android bit seem to be to big to be true, the s7 was a very popular phone and we have 2 in this house and never had a a problem with them.

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

The engineer was giving you total B/s about your S7. All you had to do was turn it off and say " what's the problem now then?"

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

There is (was?) a problem with band-switching on S7's which would cause them to lose Wi-Fi connection. A workaround was put into the SH3 firmware last year so that S7's would remain online using the original band. But it never affected the network.

I did turn it off, it was all just more blag and bluster
