This is a fundamental electrical limitation of the interface. For example, a 100Mbps network interface can send and receive at 100Mbps at most. Network interfaces, both wired and wireless, have a physical link speed that cannot be exceeded. In this article, we’re exploring why this is - but first, here’s a quick recap about how network interfaces operate and how ISPs advertise their speeds. ![]() But although so many homes are within reach of a gigabit connection, a much smaller proportion are actually connecting at those speeds. The knock-on effect of this has not only impacted the way ISPs advertise their ultra-fast products, but also how they deliver them, particularly at the boundary of 1Gbps. Today, in more progressive markets, and thanks to emerging regulations and advertising standards, ISPs are starting to advertise speeds their customers can actually receive. ![]() Now however, more than half of UK homes are now within reach of a gigabit connection. Not long ago, the most you could expect from your VDSL product that was advertised at 80Mbps, was around 76Mbps. There has been a subtle shift in how internet service providers (ISPs) advertise their broadband products over the last few years.
