I've cut myself from the landline where my ISP only offers xDSL over copper

VDSL2 peaks at just 10 MBits/s here, giving you barely the ability to fill 1.5 TB of HDD Space, assuming 50% of available, actual available, bandwidth

They are charging a ridiculous amount of money for that obsolete technology also.

Wat peeved me is that the Power Company replaced the utility poles especially for the ISP which then disregarded the work and refused to pull the fiber optic cables with the Fiber Access Terminals in the street

On the 4G networks I can reach 100 megabits

As you can see the speed of my LTE plus provider is now at about half of what it should be.

A non-technical person would complain. I know that the data provider is using something that we call overboeking {NL}
That literally means that they allow way too many devices to be pooled together which drops down the speed dramatically (a bit more than 50%).

If however you take into account that that same provider gives you on UTP cable a bandwidth that's not even enough to fill a 1.2 TB hard drive {10 MBit} with data in 28 days you know that this speed is still much much better than what they would sell you on obsolete xDSL

The power company had done everything that the data Company needed to run passive Fiber cable in the street. The data Company uses Fiber Access Terminals, to connect the houses with the main fiber optic cable that they run in the air. From the smaller cable that comes to your house you get a small breakdown interface that translates, converts the light based data into copper for which they also sell you meager speeds; things like 48 megabits for which they want more than 100% of the money that you pay them for the obsolete xDSL

The power company replaced all the electrical masts required, because they needed certain levels of quality that the old masts did not provide. The Power Company also did the work in less and 50% of the time where retaining safety for everyone and everything

My current mobile 4G provider is sending me good levels of bandwidth now. It is quite clear that I'm receiving two 4G LTE+ towers at the moment. On xDSL these speeds are not possible because they put us on two wires of UTP copper

I just did a speed test from my current bandwidth provider. As I've said before I use 4G plus Internet because it's magnitudes faster than the 10MBit/s which the xDSL provider gives with which are the most I can get 3.2 TBytes per month

1TB=1024GB

I will never be able to fill a proper hard drive in one month at such speeds. A proper hard drive is 16 TB at minimum

The speeds are oké for this Point in Time. The upload speed sucks major, normally that's about 30 megabits a second

Since I am now not stuck with one ISP giving mediocre internet speeds on obsolete xDSL systems the following has been measured

This is a speed that I get over 4G Networks. What immediately jumps into your eyes is that the speed is almost symmetrical. When providers can give speeds like this and give 4G + speeds at 40 MBit/s you realize how mediocre 10 MBit/s is with just five megabits / seconds up running on End of Life obsolete xDSL routers

I've stopped working with obsolete xDSL network devices. I have an ISP Fiber who installed Fiber to the CURB and Fiber to the Home simultaneously just to make money. They installed the obsolete fiber to the curb systems to milk people into making them think that xDSL is a way for the future.

Meanwhile on quite stable 4G Networks they give the speeds that you see in the screenshot. I can reach more than 40 MBit per second! I would rather be ad hoc on the internet, then have a slow obsolete 10 MBit connection over two copper wires.

I am finally enjoying the internet again when it comes down to speed

Is there someone out in the Fediverse that has a fully working configuration for #OpenWRT on a #Sky #xDSL connection?

The one I have ends up with working IPv6, but an IPv4 address in 100/8 that doesn't work.

The horrifically slow internet speed that provider wants perfectly high amounts of USD for, while they refuse to give us IPv6 address blocks, a required, a highly required service for which they have everything in their infrastructure.
