Approximate achievable broadband speeds at different copper-cable-run distances from the green cabinet.
If you buy a 38 MB/sec package, your ISP will cap you at 38 Mb/sec.

I thought most people were on fibre nowadays from what they always say when we sign up for our new BT contact. I just mean I have ‘bog standard, nothing super-dooper but works fine’ broadband

What speed does this show if you run it on a wireless connected laptop close to where the box will be ? BT always boast there wireless routers are strongest amongst the free ones you get from a ISP.
Is not the power output of WiFi modems limited by law? If so, how can one be ‘more powerful’ than another, as surely most all of them will be running at the upper limit anyway as they all strive to have the furthest range.
OK, I appreciate that ‘beam steering’ can extend the range, but have BT really got ‘the most powerful’ WiFi system out there?

Limited to what?
Martin Liddle – 9 minutes ago » …Maximum transmission power (EIRP) is limited but the limit differs between countries; in the EU it is 100mW.
So what does that mean in practical terms? For example there are currently routers with AC5300, how high can that go within the limits of EIRP?

Sorry I don’t understand the question. Exactly what do you mean by “how high can that go”?
If the max EIRP is 100mw, and “RP” means radiated power. Then apart from siteing the Tx antenna in a better position, the only other alternative is a more efficient reciever / antenna combination.
My point exactly.
I can tell you for a fact that my Asus Dual Band router has at least double the wireless range of the latest Virgin Superhub. It has 3 antenna rather than one. There are lots of dead spots in my house and garden using the Virgin wireless none using the Asus router.

Well can AC5300 go to AC20000? As I said, what does the limit mean in practical performance terms?

You are ignored an earlier post that attempted to answer that.

I didn’t ignore it. I read it and felt it did not answer my specific question.
It’s easy to throw numbers around, as in…

…but what does that mean in practical terms, relates to wifi speeds?
