It has been a few days since their last contact.
In the interim I have watched the speed factor improve.
I'm now getting a download speed of 93.51 Mb/s.

The server is getting selected by the app and it's in the city I am living
in.

I've been doing that and feeding the figures back to them.
They have their own server for speed testing and there has been some
disparity in the figures.
That has been fed back to them also.

Yes, I have done that on a number of occasions.
I'm quite satisfied that there is no bottleneck at this end.
Everything is a minimum of 100 Mb capable.

Cable and an upper limit of 100 Mb/s.
They advertise 2 Mb/s upload, which is less than half the international
average.
As somebody that would be classified as a typical home-based end user,
that doesn't concern me however.

No fibre, although a national roll-out for that service has begun (along
with compromised routers, no doubt).
Gigabit infrastructure is what it is advertised at present.

Yes, I'm aware of that one.
Still a lover of wires.

They supply the router - a tailored Netgear CG3100.
I can't find any reference to sync.
If they maintain a reasonable download rate, I'll hold off on the media
campaign.
They have been advised.
