Why does my broadband need symmetrical speeds?
When picking a broadband provider, you probably look at speed, right? It’s one of the most important things to consider – yet most providers only guarantee their download speed, when in fact symmetrical speeds are key to a happy relationship with your internet. Most providers offer different upload and download speeds, but at Lit Fibre we offer the same speeds for both.
What are symmetrical speeds all about?
Based on the name, you can make a pretty good guess what symmetrical speeds are. It’s a connection with equal upload and download speeds. You usually hear about the importance of quick download speeds, but it’s not all about downloading. You can think of symmetrical speeds as a clear path for data to travel.
It’s important to note that symmetrical speeds are only available when you’ve got a full-fibre connection. It’s one of the key things that sets apart lightning-fast full-fibre from copper and dated network technologies. Why settle for a slow and bumpy connection when you can have a smooth and speedy one?
Why do symmetrical speeds matter for your connection?
Uploads are just as important as downloads and that’s where symmetrical speeds come in. Whether you are uploading a large file, having an important video call with work, or uploading your latest holiday snaps to Instagram, having equal upload and download speeds can ensure your connection is super-fast and lag-free.
Here at Lit Fibre, you’ve got symmetrical, faster speeds – and we don’t believe in capping your speeds during peak times like some broadband providers. Just think about the time you will be saving next time you’re in a rush to upload an important work file. Symmetrical speeds like those available with Lit Fibre give you the power to do more, faster and smoother.
“Download and upload speeds as advertised. Pleased with the product, value and the friendly, professional service. No hesitation in recommending Lit Fibre.”
What are the practical benefits of symmetrical speeds?
It means you can forever say goodbye to waiting hours for a file to upload, your online game lagging or getting frustrated with your slow internet. So, when you’re downloading that new game that you’ve been dying to play, you don’t have to wait hours on end to finally get started. Or having to apologise in an important meeting when your screen share isn’t loading properly. The same applies when you’re watching the new episode of a binge-worthy series. You can do it all – upload, download, stream, play, and more – at lightning-fast speeds.
“I have shown my download/upload speeds to friends and colleagues, and they are staggered at the speeds I am getting. They have fibre from other, more well-known companies and they can't get anywhere near the speeds I am now getting, thanks to Lit Fibre!”
Don't settle for substandard internet speeds any longer. Get Lit Fibre’s symmetrical speeds and experience the future with lightning-fast upload and download speeds.
