Virgin media scums, the most inconsistent and unreliable ISP in the UK

twat

No sound

Is it also better if you use that router with lan cable to ps5 or pc , or is it just better for WiFi ? And do you replace this router with your normal router you get by your internet company?

I've started running cat8.

Ain't CAT6 maxing out at 1Gpbs, weren't CAT6A able to do 2.5?

there's no "F" in Ethernet !! pronounced "ee thuh net"

The fastest fibre optic broadband is found in Jersey…..every property connected by fibre optic …..about the only thing the island has done well….caveat to all of this insanely fast internet…..bloody awful ripped up roads…..great……

I am forever fascinated by the difference between British and American names for things. For the Brits loft is the same as the American attic. The British lounge is what Americans call either family room or living room. For Americans loft would be for instance a large room at the top of landing of the stairs that overlooks via a banister down on the rest of the house. For Americans lounge is the bar area of a hotel restaurant. Endlessly fascinating!

If you dont want a bottle neck in speed you should go 10 gig to 10 gig and then use your 2.5 ethernet ports for 2.5 speeds then you eliminate losing your network speed while using more than 2 device on the small switch

Looks pretty cool

EE may be the fastest "nationwide" provider.. but they are not the fastest in thhe UK, and most people would do well to check if there are local Fibre providers, such as HyperOptic, CommunityFibre and many others... And there speeds are synchrous speeds, i.e. 1Gb up, and 1Gb down..

Can you recommend any routers that can be used with virgin media new hub 5x XGS-PON connection type? I wanna move away from there supplied router if possible

Soon as I seen you mention 16ms respectable ping on the FTTC I knew what was coming, I got FTTP at my gaff in North Yorkshire 900mbps down 120mbps up about a year ago and I used to get about 20 ping in most if not all games on the old FTTC 80 down 20 up connection, but since getting the full fibre FTTP my ping has risen to about 28 to 32ms, and there was me hoping for a single figure ping when I upgraded to FTTP, the 900 down speed is nice don't get me wrong, but yeah I did not expect the ping to go up by 10 to 15ms more on FTTP.

Useless instead get a TUF ax 6000

Poep

Since Yale upgraded from Z-wave to the home module is EATS BATTERIES..... IM REPLACING DURACELL EVERY 3 WEEKS..... DO NOT UPGRADE ITS BROKE AS F**K

For every residential we do, we go to 2.5G, and for businesses, we go straight to 10G internal. We use 10Gtek 10GBase-SR SFP+ LC transceivers for the 10G (fiber) and the 10Gtek SFP+ to RJ45 transceivers for ethernet. Although most don't ever get that speed because their computers are stuck at 1G, but we future-proof them for not much money.

These network videos are decent.. we all grow up ere 😅

So basically this house is just emptiness/walls/and cables 🤣

No, I will be skipping 2.5G and going straight to 10G on the next upgrade. We have 10G internet for €25 here in Spain.

Love it thanks for the vid

love networking videos! great!

Will you be doing a Video on cctv /security please obviously only what you can show us 🤦‍♂️

Even though the fibres have end caps protecting the ferrule, they’re mainly designed to prevent micro damage/scratches on the ferrule. Fibres should always be scoped and cleaned for transmission efficiency. Tbh the distance it’s covering it shouldn’t matter but just thought I’d let you know for the future.

Question! Our home WiFi gets some good speed on fibre 60-70mbps… however on our Work laptops often drop WiFi connection despite the internet itself not always dropping at same time. Provider has assessed and cannot see any problems with the line or connection .. all other devices are fine and does not have any consistency of time of day for drop outs etc. Only seems to happen when on MS teams video calls (have already cleared cache - reset app, used web browser etc). Any help appreciated as we are at a loss and would have to pay early termination fee to switch provider £££

I do fancy a quick one once in awhile 😊

this guy has absolutely no idea what he is on about "ping is oddly different in the east midlands than London" haha. nothing odd about that. the majority of UK connections peer in London, so the closer to London you are, the lower your ping (fibre is light, light has to travel, the shorter the distance, the quicker the trip = lower ping). Virgin use docsis for HFC (coax) and RfoG (not coax,) both up to 1Gb, they now offer XGS (not coax or docsis, full fibre (XGS)) up to 2GB (you can opt for symetical speeds on this). Docsis suffers from a lot of jitter so is not ideal for gaming as it makes pings erratic. Virgins backbone routing is very poor when compared to Openreach and CityFibre, also adding to your ping. Baffling this guy has been a youtube "techy" and selling internet for all these years and still doesn't understand how it works.

why dont you just change the switches in the loft to multi gig switches, much simpler. Also tidy all your wiring up, its a mess

Honestly, 2.5GbE is a waste of time and money. Anyone who genuinely needs more than 1GbE should just go directly to 10GbE. 2.5GbE has NEVER been a standard, most definitely not an enterprise standard; as a result it rarely plays well with 10GbE equipment (especially enterprise equipment). Also, 2.5GbE runs far hotter than 10GbE. 2.5GbE is nothing but a "pro-sumer" gimmick, especially given how cheap good 10GbE equipment has become. With 10GbE you can edit videos directly off a NAS, at 2.5GbE (assuming you can get it to play nice, or that you only have crappy non-enterprise equipment) you simply can't edit videos directly off a NAS as the link speed is too low. The money people waste on 2.5GbE and then going to 10GbE would give them a very nice 10GbE setup in the first place with all enterprise equipment and they'd still have money left over. Its a case of "just spend the money on the correct stuff and do the job once because its cheaper than doing the job twice because 2.5GbE is junk".

cheap and nasty switch

I would like to have at least the fiber to the home and not to the node/cabinet I have a 67 Mbps down and 18 up and when it rains it gets worse

I've really been struggling with my pair of units. I can't even get 20m LOS. Anjielo has been of no help, simply stating that they do not provide technical support.

At 4:37, why is the connection on port 4 being lost?

Shouldve Bought a 10 Gig transceiver for the little switch aswell to eliminate the bottleneck

Nice main room

Can it be used as Multi-wan?

How are you? Thank you for your efforts. I have a question. Is there a difference between the be98, which has a speed of 25,000, and the be98 pro, which has a speed of 30,000?

Enjoyable video. Haven’t got the slightest clue what you’re talking about, but sounds awesome anyway 😂😂😂😂.

I find you so freakin attractive. But I do have a content question. Is excessive heat during summer not of concern for any of the components? I once considered putting a wireless router in my attic but temps occasionally exceed the operating temp set by the manufacturer.

Can i ask who your isp is? What speed do they deliver to your property?

To be more technical, it's an SPF+ module with the sole function to act as a SFP+ to RJ45 media converter. Both the fiber side and copper side will use Ethernet. In fact, coaxial cable was the original cable used for 10BASE5 Ethernet.

The most shocking thing about this video to me is the fact that HiSense makes AC/heat pump units

Nice to see 2.5gb becoming more consumer level, it might be worth getting another SFP 10gig adaptor for the switch and testing to see if you can achieve 5gb / 10gb to the top floor via existing Ethernet - then you’re 2.5gb ports would be less saturated with whatever other devices you have there! Interested to see how basic cat 6 cable copes with speeds above 2.5gb

Who does 2.5gb Internet speeds in the uk?

£20

The cheapest nastiest no name brand hardware - great work

Hey Alex, you should look about doing a firewall on your network. Little cybersecurity won’t hurt.

Nice vid Alex, do you still have any mesh networks/nodes that you have featured on your channel before?

I'm on 1gig with VM but dont know when Ill be getting 2gig
