Rips are pretty much all I use, buy disk, rip to PC, transfer to Nas. I've never sat and timed a transfer yet, might do today if I remember.
Prior to getting Future Fibre 500 my FTTC speeds were 65/18 and to be honest I had no issues with it streaming to a TV/PC/PS5, nothing noticeable. Just tested now and got an average (three tests) 502/71 14ms latency and ...no difference unless I'm downloading large files which come down a lot faster. Router here is Amazon Eero Pro 6 pluged into a TP-Link switch box, works really well.
Just echoing what the other guys have said. Definitely need a 1GB switch.Hi
Need a little help, please!
Recently upgraded my broadband (Virgin media) and should be getting speeds of 200mbps but I can only get about a 100mbps via a category 5e Ethernet cable. On my phone and tablet I can get 200+
The cable says 'U/UTP Network 5E stranded patch cable 26AWG x 4P' on it and is 30m long
Do I need a better cable or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance
USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, and so will default to 100 Mbps link speed with a Gb adapterAs in my post above a Gigabit USB network adapter is a workaround as long as your laptop has USB 2.0 or above.
Amazon product ASIN B010SEARPU
Note I'm not recommending that particular item, It's just the first hit on Amazon.

No @Cameron583, I have one it connects at 1000Mbps link speed with full duplex, as the USB speed does not have any link to the link speed, clearly, it won't be able to push data through due to the USB2 limitations. I get north of 200Mbps on mine which is sufficient for most purposes.
