Why is my upload speed the same as my download?

A quick breakdown of our package speeds!

Upload Speed

A lot of traditional broadband providers have a much lower upload speed than the download speed provided.

As we build our full fibre network into the areas we serve we've made sure that our equipment is capable of delivering a symmetrical experience. This just means you get a similar download and upload speed. 

A symmetrical network is one where the upload and download speed are the same. e.g. our Fibre500 package is 500Mbps download and upload speed.

Why?

We're doing this because uploading is becoming just as important as downloading. Here a few examples of how you might use your upload speed online:

  • Video Calling through WhatsApp or Face time. 
  • Personal back-ups through iCloud or Google Drive
  • Ring Doorbell and cloud-based CCTV
  • Sending files and emails.
