Re: RE: fibre 250 internet and wireless speed

[wireless]

I have been on Telus Fiber optic Internet & TV since March 2017 in Vernon. It is advertised at 250 Mb upload and download. I check my speeds regularly on Ookla speed check and it consistently is around 275 Mb download and 248 Mb upload speed. We are very fortunate in Vernon because Telus built a new fiber optic network in this area from the ground up and it has the very latest technology in it. I have my computers hooked up to the modem by Ethernet cable which can handle 1Gb so we get the full benefit of the speed available. It is great! Bear in mind that if you are using WI-Fi for connection, your speed will be influenced by many factors such as distance from the modem, number of wireless units on the modem, speed of your computer's Wi-Fi modem and even furniture in between the Telus modem and the computer. I had a problem with speed on one Wi-Fi connection after my wife moved a chair in the room. Turned out the chair had steel frame underneath and it was interfering with the signal. I moved the computer to the other side of the chair and my speed came back instantly! Go figure!
