Hello Everyone! Happy Reading!

I'll try keep this short and to the point but that might not be possible
For starters, I'm on an HFC connection and happy to be able to get these speeds

I decided to join Launtel in december of 2021 again to see how the gigabit (1000/50) plan had improved

Between december 2021 and january 2022 speeds were decent of around 800Mbps not quiet 900Mbps+ Which i accepted because launtel has a TES of 600Mbps on their website
Anyhoo last day of january of 2022 and onwards to Feburary 2022 i suffered bad speeds below TES of 600Mbps and majority of the day, only time i would see speeds return to some what normal would between of the early am then go bad once again for more than half the day

So from january 31st to Feburary 6th 2022 i was suffering speeds way below advertised just like the first time if 300-400Mbps is what you call gigabit connection then believe in luke skywalker to come save the day and grant us all FTTP :P

In my honest opinion launtel can't support gigabit on their network regardless of my poi being upgraded from 1GB to 1.5GB and showing heap's of room which i don't believe anyway
they need atleast 10GB links across all 121 pois to have a chance to properly give people what they paying for

Instead of doing the run arounds test this test that it's just easier to churn and see the results yourselves
Nothing wrong

My Personal Rating based on using them first time for many months then again for 8 weeks
Network rating: 5/5 (Launtel has a decent network for gaming and streaming)
Support rating: 5/5 (Support is decent)
Honest about able to provide gigabit rating: 1/5 (Not so fourth coming when it comes to that)
Launtel should redraw the offer of gigabit speeds and just offer 500/50 until some day they can provide the advertised speeds

I'll do my personal review on joining Future Broadband second time another day.
