Virgin broadband and Powerline

Recommended Posts

Any advice welcome re speeds. I usually get between 15 and 20Mbps on my latop via wi-fi. The router and modem are in my loft. My supplier currently boasts a supposed supply of 70Mbps . I appreciate I will not get this via wi-fi.

Virgin have emailed that they are upgrading me to 100Mbps .

The email also suggests a Netgear Powerline adapter to increase the download speed.

Has anyone any experience of powerline 1000+ wifi ?

The "1000+ WiFi" power line adapters aren't strictly powerline adapters, they power from the mains, but connect to each other via their own WiFi generally, and not through the electrics of your property..

 

That being said, at 1000mbps (or 1gbps) with WiFi you should expect to hit the 100mbps from Virgin most of the time..

 

i'm on Virgins 300mb connection, and with 5Ghz Wireless N, I can get the full download speed i'm supposed to...
