See more | Download Performance Slow - What is an acceptable download speed ? The Scottish Government has announced today they are to extend their Superfast broadband voucher scheme by three months, to help people gain greater access to the “digital world.” Ministers say the pandemic has reinforced the importance of greater broadband connectivity for all Scots in helping to keep families and loved ones connected. The announcement comes as six locations across the north and north-east have been earned the title of Scotland’s slowest streets for broadband connection.

Don’t waste your time! Find out how port forwarding can save precious seconds on your internet downloads

Want to speed up your real-time computer gaming experience? We’ll show you how. First things first — What in the world is port forwarding? It’s not common internet jargon, even for the techies amongst us. But it can be supremely useful, especially to certain segments of the online population, so it’s about time it got the recognition it deserves. See more | Download Performance Slow - What is an acceptable download speed ? What is port forwarding? Also known as port mapping, this is a process where a user can tell internet traffic where to go, rather than going to a location by default. It turns the computer administrator into the air traffic controller of their own data. That is, they can tell the incoming data where to “land.” How can port forwarding help your internet connection? Be forewarned: port forwarding doesn’t necessarily reduce lag. And don’t expect it to work miracles on slow internet speeds. But it can reduce download speeds by a few seconds, and if you are participating

Internet world record: Researchers in England achieve 178 Tbps download speed

Your internet is fast, but is it 178 Tbps fast? Researchers at the University College London (UCL) have set a new record for the fastest internet speed in the world. How fast is it? Oh, just 178,000,000 Mbps — fast enough to download the entire Netflix library in less than a second. See more | Download Performance Slow - What is an acceptable download speed ? The record was achieved by a team led by a lecturer at UCL and Royal Academy of Engineering research fellow, Dr. Lidia Galdino, and was close to the theoretical limit of data transmission set in 1949. Galdino’s team deployed these record-setting speeds on existing infrastructure using a bandwidth of 16.8 THz. Typical infrastructures in use today utilize a limited spectrum bandwidth of 4.5 THz. “While current state-of-the-art cloud data-center interconnections are capable of transporting up to 35 terabits a second, we are working with new technologies that utilize more efficiently the existing infrastructure, making better use of o

what does the typical busy period download speed mean?

  The typical busy period download speed listed on each MATE nbn™ plan is the average speed experienced by a selection of MATE users between the hours of 7pm and 11pm. The actual speed you will experience on a MATE nbn™ plan depends on many factors such as the nbn™ technology that is available at your home, the quality of your modem/router, internal wiring in your home, the distance between your Wi-Fi modem/router and your devices, electrical and Wi-Fi interference, network or internet congestion, the hardware and software you use, the location of your data source and weather or infrastructure faults. If your service is delivered over nbn™ copper infrastructure, it is possible that you may not ever be able to achieve the speed tier speeds. If this is the case, we will recommend or move you to a speed tier appropriate for your circumstances. There are nbn™ Fixed Wireless regions that are experiencing service congestion due to limitations of nbn™ infrastructure. This congestion may signi
